Eric Bischoff Draws Unfavorable Comparison Between Tony Khan and Dixie Carter

One big thing: Eric Bischoff criticizes AEW CEO Tony Khan’s recent statements

Former WCW executive Eric Bischoff has once again expressed his skepticism towards AEW and its CEO Tony Khan, this time drawing parallels between Khan and former TNA Wrestling president Dixie Carter.

Key points:

• Bischoff called Khan’s statements about AEW’s financial future “bulls***” on his “83 Weeks” podcast.
• He compared Khan’s behavior to “crying wolf” and failing to deliver.
• Bischoff recalled a conversation with Bill Goldberg, who observed similarities between Khan and Carter.
• He criticized both Khan and Carter for prioritizing attention over logic in their wrestling endeavors.

Why it matters:

Bischoff’s comments highlight ongoing criticism of AEW’s leadership and promotional tactics, potentially impacting the company’s public perception and industry standing.

Between the lines:

Despite his harsh words, Bischoff expressed optimism about AEW securing a new TV deal, stating:

“I think they’ll probably get one. I’ve never been on the mindset that they’re done, they’re never gonna get another TV deal with Warner Brothers.”

The big picture:

As AEW continues to grow and compete with WWE, the wrestling industry closely watches its business decisions and leadership style. Bischoff’s comparison to TNA Wrestling, a promotion that struggled to maintain mainstream success, raises questions about AEW’s long-term viability and strategy.
