Former WCW executive and on-air performer in WWE, Eric Bischoff, recently appeared as a guest on Sky Sports’ “Locked Up” podcast for an in-depth interview.

During the show, Bischoff spoke about not working as a full-time performer in WWE for over 13-years, and whether or not he has any interest in making a comeback.

“I’d love to do it if it was a situation that would work of everybody,” said Bischoff. “I’m pretty subjective when it comes to certain things, and I try to be objective. And I think my opinion, you know, a character like mine [as] a General Manager, there’s only so much you can do from a storytelling point of view. You could be that heel authority figure like I played for several years in WWE and certainly in WCW, and it’s interesting and it’s fun, but after a while, you’ve kind of done everything that you can do creatively. You know, I’m not a wrestler, especially in this stage of my life, I’m not gonna get physically involved in matches.”

Bischoff continued, “So really the only storytelling phase in my life is that of an overbearing authority figure and we’ve done that, we’ve seen that. Not only with me, we’ve seen it with other characters, and I think the audience would get tired of it very quickly. I came out at the 25th Anniversary of Raw to a tremendous reaction, made me feel really good. And as amazing of a moment that was, I know deep down inside that after about two months of seeing me come out, they’d be like, ‘oh my God, we’ve been there, we’ve done this. C’mon, let’s move on. And besides that, he’s kinda old.’ So, I’m pretty realistic about the value that my character would have.”
