During a Q&A on AdFreeShows.com, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff commented on the possibility of owning a wrestling company…

“There’s not enough money. Even if I was dumb enough to take it, I know myself well enough to know I wouldn’t be happy. I know myself well enough to know I wouldn’t be happy. That’s why when I say there’s not enough money, there’s always, you know, stupid situations, but it’s also, I said realistically, because I just know it wouldn’t make me happy. It wouldn’t satisfy me anymore. Part of me would love to dabble, but only from a distance and on a part time basis and in a way that I felt like I was actually contributing something. I would enjoy contributing, but that would not involve a 60-hour workweek focusing only on TV and wrestling and that it would not be, couldn’t be.”

Bischoff was also asked about what role he would take if he returned to wrestling…

“If there was some kind of fun thing that I could do with WWE and Bruce (Prichard), sure, that would be fun. I’d have to be able to do it from my home, which makes it impossible and not realistic, and I would not want to be anywhere near AEW in any way shape or form.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
