Vince McMahon asked Bischoff what did he think of AEW
All Elite Wrestling has been making waves ever since its first event, "Double or Nothing", aired in May, and is going strong with its weekly show, Dynamite. The company boasts an incredibly talented roster which includes the likes of Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, and many more. While talking about the promotion, Bischoff revealed that Mr. McMahon had asked him about his thoughts on AEW. This happened soon after the first episode of Dynamite aired.
"Vince asked me actually, a couple of days after the first episode aired, what I thought. I was pretty honest with him. I thought the action was good. But I thought what made that show really stand out to me was just how engaged the audience is."
