The recently released WWE Superstar said McMahon was watching an episode of IMPACT Wrestling one time during a meeting and he told people in the room that WWE should sign EC3.

#7 Eric Bischoff’s one negative moment with John Cena

Former WCW and WWE executive Eric Bischoff joined Sportskeeda’s Chris Featherstone on this week’s episode of UnSKripted.

Asked about his experience working with John Cena in 2005, Bischoff told an amusing story about the time he challenged “Big Match John” for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on WWE RAW.

Bischoff recalled that there was a spot in the match where he was supposed to hit Cena in the face on the ring apron, but he was unsure how hard he should strike one of WWE’s top Superstars.

In the end, he decided to punch Cena’s “brick wall” jaw as hard as he could, causing his little finger to go numb.
