Eric Bischoff: AEW needs to stop referencing WWE

Former WWE Executive Director of SmackDown and WCW President Eric Bischoff recently discussed AEW mentioning WWE on their programming.

Speaking to the The Toronto Star, Bischoff would note how AEW makes reference to WWE constantly on Dynamite and Rampage, all while not actually going head-to-head with the company.

‘If they don’t have the balls to go head-to-head, then shut up and wrestle” Eric Bischoff began, seemingly laying down the challenge for Tony Khan.

“There is no tactical advantage in completely degrading your competition when it’s clear to your audience that you don’t have the guts to do anything about it.

“You’re fighting a fight that you are not willing to get in. It’s childish to me” the former WCW President concluded.
