Eric Bischoff, the former WCW President, shared his thoughts on the recent match between Logan Paul and Ricochet at WWE SummerSlam. In an episode of his 83 Weeks Podcast, Bischoff defended Logan Paul against critics who label him as an outsider in the wrestling industry.
Bischoff expressed his admiration for Logan Paul’s abilities as a sports entertainer and professional wrestler. He believes that Paul has shown impressive skills in the ring, despite being relatively new to the business. Bischoff praised Paul’s timing, psychology, execution, and his ability to connect with the audience.
While acknowledging Ricochet’s contribution to the match, Bischoff emphasized that wrestling is a collaborative effort and both performers deserve credit. He commended the quality of the match, highlighting the psychology, athleticism, and timing displayed by both Paul and Ricochet. Bischoff was particularly impressed with the timing, noting that nothing felt rushed and everything had a purpose.
According to Bischoff, one of the key aspects that made the match stand out was the time given to the audience to absorb and appreciate the action. He believes that this element is often missing in many matches today. Bischoff also expressed his preference for calling pay-per-view events by their traditional name, rather than referring to them as “premium live events.”
While Bischoff admitted that he was not a big fan of the finish involving brass knuckles, he acknowledged that even that aspect was executed perfectly. He praised the production team for capturing the moment discreetly, ensuring that the audience at home had a different perspective from those in attendance.
It is worth noting that Bischoff’s comments on Logan Paul’s performance may be controversial, as opinions on Paul’s involvement in professional wrestling vary among fans and critics. However, Bischoff’s perspective as a veteran in the industry adds weight to his analysis.
