On a recent episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff stated that he had done all he could do in wrestling and didn't have the desire to focus on the business anymore.
Some took that as the former WCW boss being done with wrestling as a whole.
Speaking to Adam Cailler of Daily Star, Bischoff clarified his comments and any report that he was retired.
“The wrestling media were sloppy as it were. I was asked a question and made a comment and it was taken out of context. The context was ‘Eric, do you think you'll ever be involved full time in the wrestling business? Do I ever want to run a wrestling company, or own a wrestling company, or work full time for any wrestling company?’ My answer is absolutely not. That's never going to happen again. That is in my rear view mirror, as I like to say.
"But that doesn't mean that I won't make appearances from time to time. I have been doing these things for the last five years – if there's an opportunity to do what I refer to as a one off or just simple appearances or something like that, of course, I'll do that. Full time will never happen again. Somehow that got written into a headline that made it seem like I retired from wrestling forever. You could have said that eight years ago. I guess that's the wrestling media.”
That settles that.
Bischoff continues to host his 83 Weeks podcast on AdFreeShows and was recently involved with MLW.
