On the after show to his podcast, Eric Bischoff discussed AEW and the rumors that several WWE superstars have asked for their release from the company. Bischoff had an unsurprisingly businesslike response when asked how he would handle those requests:
On How He’d Be Dealing With Wrestlers Asking For Their Release If He Were In Vince McMahon’s Shoes:
It’s a talent driven business, and the Khan family is willing to write a big check for Chris Jericho and they’re willing to write big checks for other talent who may be in WWE but not happy.
If I was Vince McMahon right now I would probably tie them up in as many strings as I possibly could. In fact I’m sure he already has.
Bischoff On The Likelihood Of A Mass Exodus From WWE:
I don’t think there’s a lot of talent in WWE that can just wake up on Monday morning and go, ‘You know what? I’m gonna quit and I’m gonna go work for these guys’.
