On the decision to have Hulk Hogan defend the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Goldberg on an episode of Monday Nitro as opposed to a PPV:
EB: I defend that decision. Let me be clear, the decision to put that match in the ring was my decision. Hulk called me and was passionate about the idea. I could tell he was really excited about it. I looked at it from a completely different point of view. I looked at that idea, your idea Hulk, and your reasons for wanting to do it. Which I agreed with. We did need to put that belt on a babyface. It was really over. That wasn’t the only reason I got excited about it. The reason I got excited about it is because it fit in to the formula that made Nitro so successful from the very beginning. It put some of your hottest stuff on television. At that time things were so competitive and we were starting to lose a little bit of ground. The minute you (Hulk) painted that picture and your psychology behind it. Which I thoroughly agreed with and do to this day. If the situation was exactly the same today I would make the same decision right now.
Eric and Nick start this week’s episode of Bischoff on Wrestling by talking about WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump being elected the President of the United States of America and how it may affect the pro wrestling business.
Eric also takes a moment to address the White House’s recent statement that they are looking to do away with non-compete clauses in employee’s contracts.
Eric then welcomes WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan on to discuss:
- The wild election night that ended with Donald Trump as President
- Fans who try to tie the NWO and illuminati together
- Hulks own memories of Donald Trump
- Goldberg’s return to WWE
- How he would have setup the program between Brock Lesnar and Bill Goldberg
Eric then wraps the show up by answering fan questions from the #BischoffOnWrestling mailbag including:
- Whether Lee Marshall really called collect from the city where the next week’s Nitro was going to be
- What as the thought process behind the LWO group with Eddie Guerrero was
- What his favorite Sting moment or match is
- The Undertaker’s return coming up and whether Eric sees him just doing a WrestleMania match or maybe more
