Social media has been full of thousands of AEW and WWE fans picking sides since All Elite Wrestling sprang up in 2019. While there’s nothing wrong with watching both products, some fans have planted their flags, vowing to root for one side in the so-called “war.”
One person who felt the backlash was Eric Bischoff, who, when speaking to Graham Matthews of WrestleRant Radio, said he tries to be constructive and not pick on a product.
Bischoff said AEW fans are more likely to look at “dirt sheets.” Because AEW is a fresh product, fans can be defensive and volatile when someone criticizes the company. Bischoff, however, is used to it as he spearheaded the Monday Night Wars:
Eric Bischoff has appeared on AEW and WWE TV
Eric Bischoff has the unique distinction of being a veteran who can hop between AEW and WWE whenever he pleases.
Bischoff made a handful of appearances for AEW during the pandemic era, becoming the man to set up the match between Chris Jericho and MJF at Full Gear 2020.
That hasn’t stopped Bischoff from popping up in WWE from time to time. As recently as January 2022, the former RAW General Manager got featured in a backstage segment with authority figures Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville.
