What's up you guys?

Welcome to Fightful here with a name, you know.

How could you not know him?

You know him from a little bit everywhere from WCW, from WCW, from WCW,

from WFight 6 in Atlanta.

We saw him take over to the show recently to great reviews, mind you.

It's Eric Bischoff.

Eric, how are you doing?

It's great to see you again. Good to be be seen as i said before we went on the air at this stage of life anytime you're seen it's a good day so happy to be here it is a good day uh it's going to be a good day on uh on or in february at m lw super fight six how did you get in touch with MLW to join the fold there?

You know, we've had numerous conversations, I would say, over the last four, five, six years maybe.

But it's, you know, either because of my schedule or whatever, there's always been a conflict and it's never worked out for me to be able to make an appearance in MLW.

And the last time they reached out, I thought, you know what?

I'm just good. I need to have some fun. I need to get out of the house and kind of put my toe in

water and and see if I could still have fun doing this stuff because it's really been a long time

since I've been out in front of the camera as a performer. And it was a good opportunity. So I took it

and I was in New York in December and had a blast, enjoyed myself. It was a little rough. I believe it or not, there is,

you know, there is ring rust for non-wrestling characters as well. So I kind of stumbled

through a few things that made me a little uncomfortable with my own performance and thought,

okay, I don't want to go out quite like that. I want to go out at the top of my game or as close to it as I could get. So I said, let's do one more. Let me get out there in front of that crowd one more time to see if I can stir some shit. I remember something that you told me that always stuck with me. And it's before you even went back to WWE. And I was like, what was one thing you would change about WWE?

And you said, it's so polished that nothing seems spontaneous.

And that stuck with me so much because I have seen eras where companies and places have tried to really employ that where it can't be too overproduced because then you just assume that everything

is meant to happen. How do you feel wrestling companies do these days compared to that?
