The latest episode of former WCW President Eric Bischoff’s podcast Bischoff on Wrestling was released this past Wednesday and featured former WCW & WWE Superstar Lex Luger as his guest.
Bischoff has since taken to Twitter to announce that Luger will be returning this week for a follow up interview. The two ended their conversation on the most recent episode just before Luger jumped to WCW:

EB: It’s just mind blowing. When that technology avails itself so that from a cost effective point of view you can produce a professional wrestling event it is absolutely going to change the world. It will change the viewing experience in a way that nothing else has. As far as her comment that it will be in the next five years? I’ll be shocked if somebody isn’t doing it in the next twenty-four months. Not necessarily the WWE. They aren’t going to make a big move like that on a grand scale this early on in the technological revolution of the product or the editing technique it would take to do it. I guarantee you that somebody is going to do it in the next 2-3 years and when they do the world is going to see it and it’s going to change professional wrestling in a way that nothing else has up to that point.
