While many individuals have returned to WWE over the past year, one person who is seemingly in no place to make his comeback is the Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff.
Making a name for himself in the late 90s as the executive producer of WCW, and then later as the general manager of RAW in the early 2000s, the 68-year-old is an integral figure in the business.
During a recent conversation with Ariel Helwani, Eric was asked if he would ever consider returning to the company on a full-time basis.
"If I was twenty years younger, in a heartbeat. loved my time there." Bischoff added, "I loved working with so many people. I can’t say enough about the quality of people that work in WWE. It was a blessing to have the opportunity to work there. I’m 68 years old and I live in a beautiful part of Wyoming. At this point in time I don’t want to be away more than necessary. The idea of flying back and forth and doing TV. Nah, not anymore." (H/T Ringside News)
