Eric Bischoff has been very outspoken when it comes to his opinions on both Tony Khan and AEW, despite previously making cameo appearances in the company. He did recently comment positively on their new TV deal, but has also shared criticism of the recent product. Despite his various wars with WWE in the past during his time leading WCW, he said that he has no interest doing the same thing in AEW.

When speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff said that if he was offered a job role by Tony Khan, and even if they liked each other, he would not take it. 

“No. I hope AEW pulls a nose up, figures out a way, and has vision, but we all know it’s pretty public, the kind of drama going on backstage. If I was in my 20s and 30s, hell yeah. Why not, especially with the kind of bags that are being thrown around backstage there. Hell yeah, I’d do it. Even in my 40s, I would have done it, but at this stage of my life, I wouldn’t go near it.

“First of all, the first time I step foot in AEW, everything that’s wrong with that place would be wrong because of me. I ain’t going near it. I wouldn’t even want to show up on camera anymore. If everything was fine, and you know, Tony and I weren’t going back and forth, and I didn’t call his last All In show hot garbage this morning, even if none of that was happening and we were buddies, I wouldn’t even really want to be on the show. At this stage of my life, why? It’s not as much fun for me anymore as it would have been when I was in my 40s. If it was a better environment, if the show was great, if it had some momentum and it was fun, sure I would, if it was fun, but it’s not fun.”

For some reason, we don’t expect Tony Khan to offer Bischoff a deal.
