WWE veteran claims to be a Sami Zayn fan
Sami Zayn is one of the most beloved babyfaces on the roster. Former RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff also claimed to be his fan.
On a recent edition of the 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff showered praise on Zayn. The 69-year-old referred to the latter as a very creative in-ring performer. He further claimed that the former Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion understands how psychology and emotions must be portrayed:
"I'm just a massive fan of Sami Zayn. I got to work with Sami a little bit back in 2019, and just an amazingly fun guy to work with because he's super creative; I mean, he's a very, very creative guy. I don't know if he learned it natural or if he was born with the gift, or he's worked at the gift, or a combination of the two. But he really understands psychology and how to get the most emotion out of a scene, out of a match, out of a backstage situation. I just think the world of him," he said. [H/T Wrestling Inc.]
Sami is currently in the middle of his fourth Intercontinental Championship reign. It remains to be seen how long he will be able to hold the prestigious title amid his rivalry with Chad Gable.
