Former WCW and TNA star Allan Funk recently spoke about his experience working with WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff.
Bischoff was the major force behind WCW's renaissance in the mid-90s. He changed the business when he helped form the nWo and pushed WCW to an 83-week rating victory over the competition. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021.
This week on UnSKripted, Allan detailed that he loved working for Bischoff during his time in WCW.
"Yeah dude, I loved Eric Bischoff."

During the same conversation, Funk mentioned that many fans might not like the Hall of Famer's work, but he had no qualms with Eric. He recalled the last time they met in Vegas a few years ago and said they shared a cordial relationship.
"Last time I was Eric, it's been years ago. I saw him in Vegas and he actually talked to me. He was like, 'Hey man, how you been?' He was always good to me. I don't have anything bad to say about Eric Bischoff. Whatever he did in the wrestling business people don't like, it doesn't matter to me. He was always cool to me." [20:02 - 20:20]
While some fans may refute Eric Bischoff's contributions to the wrestling business, it is undeniable that he once posed a very serious threat of running WWE and Vince McMahon out of business.
