Christopher Daniels Gives Eric Bischoff His Reaction To The Rumors WWE Is Buying Ring Of Honor



The latest episode of former WCW President Eric Bischoff’s podcast Bischoff on Wrestling was released yesterday and features part two of Eric’s interview with WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts!

A brand new episode will be released next Wednesday and, as announced at the end of this week’s show, his guest will be Ring of Honor World Champion Christopher Daniels!

I just finished recording Daniels and Bischoff interview moments ago. The full audio will be released next Wednesday evening on Bischoff on Wrestling. WrestleZone is releasing Daniels’ comments regarding the rumored sale of ROH to WWE early. You can find them below.

EB: News broke I think last night or early this morning that WWE is talking to Sinclair Broadcasting, which owns Ring of Honor, about a possible acquisition. Just for the record, do you know anything about it? How do you feel about it?

CD: I don’t know anything specific about it. I can’t imagine that when you say “acquisition”… I can’t imagine it’s a full on acquisition. Only because I think that Sinclair is committed to doing things with Ring of Honor for it’s own business purposes. Again, I can’t really comment with any sort of intelligence on what the whole thing is even about. I have heard that rumor but I don’t feel like Ring of Honor is going to be sold to WWE outright. It depends too on what WWE is trying to gain. Is it a matter of the tape library? Is a matter of the contracts of certain wrestlers? Who knows? I guess the best thing we can do is sort of sit and see how it plays out if it’s even true. That’s all I can do. I am just going to continue to assume. I’m booked, I’m wrestling, I am going to continue to prepare for the next show and we are going to see how it all plays out.
