Eric Bischoff Shoots on Internet, TNA Wrestling, nWo/DX and More

Eric Bischoff was a guest on this week’s audio show at Inyourheadonline.com. He talked about his book, “Controversy Creates Ca$h,” as well as a number of other topics:

- On his book: When asked if he was worried about WWE making changes to his book in any way, he said the thought had crossed his mind, but he wanted to set the record straight and the WWE obliged him with that, giving him full creative control.

- On the Internet wrestling community: Bischoff tells the story of Googling his name and finding his bio on wikipedia.com and it had the wrong birthday and wrong information. He said, simply: “The Internet isn’t really beneficial to the business" because it ruins any chance of any kind of storyline by leaking insight into it.

- On DX vs. the nWo: He said DX "immediately" ripped off the nWo. He said before Monday Nitro was around, the WWE was geared more towards children and that it wasn’t till the New World Order came around that you saw guys such as DX, Steve Austin and the whole "Attitude Era."

Bischoff was asked if a new feud between the nWo and DX would work now. He said if Kevin Nash was available, Scott Hall was coherent and Hulk Hogan was involved it could work, but with the rebirth of DX this year, it's obviously inot the same DX. The thought of bringing back an older, more water downed nWo would probably end up a bad decision.

- On TNA wrestling: Said if TNA wants to truly contend with WWE, it can't try to be better than the WWE - it has to be different.

- On Ric Flair: Said that he likes Ric Flair on a personal level, but regrets not giving him the respect he deserved back when he was running WCW. He continued to say that the lack of respect was because Bischoffwasn’t to familiar with Flair and his work.
