Eric Bischoff on WWE Chairman Vince McMahon
In an interview with talkSPORT, Eric Bischoff discussed multiple topics. He also shared his views on Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. During his interview with the website, the former WWE RAW General Manager spoke about Vince McMahon and what he thinks of him. This is what Eric Bischoff had to say,
“I certainly admired and envied Vince’s ability to manage and organise and operate his company in such an efficient way. When I say tightly controlled I don’t mean that to sound negatively. When you’ve got thousands of employees and you’re producing content for all around the world and you’re dealing with as many different moving pieces as the WWE does, to be able to have as much positive control over all of the elements that are involved in that is admirable. It exists in other corporations as well, but I got to see it first-hand in WWE. So I did envy it in a way and admire it, probably a little bit of both.”
