#2 Vince Russo believes the feud between Eric Bischoff and Tony Khan is a 'work'

Vince Russo recently gave his honest opinion on the ongoing beef between AEW President Tony Khan and Eric Bischoff. Both men have gone back-and-forth on Twitter multiple times ever since the latter started going head-to-head with WWE.

While speaking with Dr. Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda Wrestling, the former WWE head writer explained that the online war between Mr. Khan and Bischoff is a 'work' or scripted:

"We were doing the show today and my co-host said, 'But Vince, why would Tony allow this to happen? Eric's making a fool out of him, why would Tony allow this to go down?' and you know why? Because he's going to go over in the match. That's the trade-off. This will be an angle so Eric's going to be paid for many weeks, if he gets into an angle with Tony," Russo said.

He even added that the conclusion would lead to an actual wrestling match between Tony Khan and Eric Bischoff, where the AEW chief will go over:

"I guarantee you, it's going to be a match and Tony Khan is going to go over. Eric Bischoff is way, way, way too smart to piss off Tony Khan and piss away that potential payday. He's way too smart for this. Everybody's buying into this and I'm like come on, this is 100% a work," said Vince Russo.

#1 WCW legend says AEW made a mistake by signing Bobby Fish

Konnan believes AEW has made a mistake by signing Bobby Fish, given the depth of their men's roster. He added that the company doesn't need Bobby Fish right now.

While speaking on the Keepin' It 100 podcast, the WCW legend explained that it would become impossible for AEW to make everyone their top guy.

However, Konnan stated that Fish could help elevate fellow wrestlers or even become part of a faction like The Undisputed Era, similar to his days in NXT:

"They (AEW) want everybody to be a top guy, not everyone can be a top guy, and yeah, they don't need him right now, they got way too many ways. But at least they know whoever they put him in with will have a good match. One thing you know about Bobby Fish is he'll give you a good match, and he could be used to make somebody a star. They could maybe repackage him and put him in a team like Undisputed Era, you never know," said Konnan.
