The Rock says Eric Bischoff belongs on the Mount Rushmore of wrestling executives.
Wrestling promotion is in The Rock's blood. The Rock's grandmother, Lia Maivia was a promoter, and The Rock is now on the board of directors of TKO, the promotional umbrella that now houses WWE. Of course, for the majority of his wrestling career, Rock worked for WWE under Vince McMahon.
While The Rock never worked for Eric Bischoff in WCW, he considers Eric Bischoff to be a friend and acknowledges his contributions to the wrestling industry during the boom period of the 1990s. During the final episode of the "Who Killed WCW?" documentary series on VICE, Rock praised Eric Bischoff and said that his image belongs on the Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling executives for what he did for WCW.
"I like Eric a lot. We are good buddies. I've known him for a very long time. He has his bust on the Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling executives," said Dwayne Johnson, who was also a producer of this docuseries
Elsewhere in this episode, The Rock discussed some of his dream opponents from the peak WCW roster. Read those comments here.
