Eric Bischoff recently reflected on his firing from WWE in 2019 during an episode of his 83 Weeks podcast. Bischoff was appointed as the Executive Director of WWE SmackDown but was replaced by Bruce Prichard after just four months. He described his departure as a decision made by Vince McMahon after it became clear that their creative visions didn’t align. Despite this, Bischoff expressed no ill will toward McMahon, admitting that while he was disappointed, he understood the move and appreciated the opportunity to work with such a talented team. Bischoff emphasized that McMahon was often difficult to please, with his creative expectations being somewhat unclear, leading to challenges in meeting his demands. He also praised Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s leadership approach, which he believes allows creative talent to thrive. Bischoff expressed relief at the firing, acknowledging that he wasn’t suited to the WWE’s established culture but remained grateful for the experience.
