"Psychologically damaged individuals" - Eric Bischoff takes a dig at wrestling fans (Exclusive)
Former RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff recently took a dig at wrestling fans.
Bischoff was associated with WWE from 2002 to 2007 and was often portrayed as a heel. Before signing with the promotion, Eric Bischoff played a crucial part in the development of WCW (Executive Producer and Senior Vice President) and Monday Night Wars. He is also credited with putting together the iconic stable nWo.
In a recent exclusive interaction with Sportskeeda Wrestling, the Hall of Famer spoke about the categories of wrestling fans. He added how some of them hate the industry just to get reactions from the internet.
"You have the haters, the people who just love to hate, cause they love to get a reaction on the internet because there's emotionally stunted psychologically damaged individuals and that's the only way they get a s****y is by participating in that kinda, you know, dirtsheet universe gaga and they're particularly haters because that's how you get a response."
