It appears that Eric Bischoff would be interested in a role in AEW. During the latest episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, he talked about the company and what it would take for him to join All Elite Wrestling.

In case you didn’t know…

Author of ‘Controversy Creates Cash’, Eric Bischoff has certainly lived by his ideology his entire life. There has rarely been a more controversial figure in the extremely controversial world of pro-wrestling than him.

Credited with the rise of WCW and the fall of the company in equal measure, Bischoff has had his share of experiences when it comes to organizing wrestling promotions.

He would be the RAW General Manager for a long time. Following that part of his career, he would go to Impact Wrestling where he was an Executive Producer and one of the reasons for the notoriety of the company in the late 2000s. It was him, again, that was credited with being one of the reasons that the company declined later.

However, despite all of this, he remains one of the most respected figures in the world of wrestling.

The heart of the matter

When Bischoff was asked about joining AEW, he said that it was a difficult question for him to be able to answer without knowing what the future plans were for the company. He said that he was interested, but he needed to know what the company’s goals and direction were.

He went on to declare that if he was able to meet with AEW officials and talked with them about the future of the company he would be willing to join. He admitted to loving the creative side of the work, but in the end, it comes down to the plan they have in place.

For now, there does not seem to be negotiations ongoing between AEW and Eric Bischoff.

What’s next?

Eric Bischoff has proved to be a force in the world of wrestling during his time there. However, at the moment there might not be any negotiations between him and the company. There are experienced figures in AEW right now, such as Jim Ross and Dean Malenko who can help lend their experience.

With the weekly television shows of AEW coming up in the fall, it might behoove them to contact Bischoff as experience could help them to reach a competitive level with WWE. After all, if there is someone who has experience in competing with WWE week-in and week-out, could there be anyone with more credit to his name than Eric Bischoff?
