Former WCW President Eric Bischoff recently shared his thoughts on various topics during the latest episode of his 83 Weeks Podcast. In the episode, Bischoff discussed his negative take on the Stadium Stampede match at AEW All In, his praise for Jon Moxley, and more. Let’s dive into the highlights of his comments.
First, Bischoff expressed his disapproval of the Stadium Stampede match, stating, “I don’t get it. It’s just not my taste, not my style. It’s indy riffic on steroids.” He further criticized the match, calling it “gore for the sake of gore” and stating that it did nothing for him. While acknowledging that some people enjoy horror movies and this style of wrestling, Bischoff made it clear that it was not his cup of tea.
On the topic of Claudio Castagnoli’s performance, Bischoff felt it was a waste of talent to have him involved in a brawl during the match. He praised Castagnoli as one of the best performers on the card and believed that his skills were better suited for a different style of match. Bischoff pointed out that the execution of the match, which involved multiple wrestlers brawling in different parts of the arena, rarely worked as intended.
Turning his attention to Jon Moxley, Bischoff acknowledged that he became a fan of Moxley when he stepped up to fill a spot initially meant for CM Punk. Bischoff respected Moxley’s professionalism and willingness to take on the challenge. However, he believed that Moxley undervalued himself by relying too heavily on extreme and bloody matches. Bischoff stated, “It’s not as impressive to the audience as it is to perhaps John himself or that segment of the audience that gets off on that stuff.”
While Bischoff’s opinions may not align with everyone’s, it’s always interesting to hear different perspectives within the wrestling industry. Fans can catch more of Bischoff’s thoughts and insights on his 83 Weeks Podcast.
