ERIC BISCHOFF: "CM PUNK interview PROVES I'm *RIGHT* about AEW!" 

Eric’s or Conrad’s?

Why would Conrad do a victory lap?@@mrbransformer4184

I said from the beginning Eric was on the money from the beginning. People thought he was insulting Punk, he was pointing out the obvious Not even Stone Cold(well maybe Stone Cold) could save that place.

You know me, I don't like to put myself over in those kinds of answers, but that match was pretty close to... in spite of Dave Meltzer only giving it four stars. I don't remember him taking too many bumps. I don't really have a lot of stock in what he says. I can't even believe I just gave him credit. I did say his name, and I'm regretting that right now. We might have to edit that out." That's what Undertaker said about Meltzer. If all these people say it's true, there has to be some validity to it.

Conrad the mark.

Agree

Aside from Dave and CT

@@Thurmanatr16he said normal

Proving Conrad isn’t normal he’s an AEW mark lol

@@Doug-my8qzAew fans are not normal, these are the same who literally get mad over booking decisions from 30 years ago

Yep, and on All Indie Wrestling since 2019.

Can't wait for his thoughts!

When Cornete and Easy E can agree, holy crap.

The fact that corney has so many marks to this day shows how low the IQ of the general wrestling fanboys is. A broken clock is also right sometimes. Eric was right for the RIGHT reasons. Consistently. Corney is right on many things including this - and an insufferable hypocrite and dolt on many other things.

​@@26.2MilesOutsidePartsUnknownThat's the money shot as they say..

Vince in his 70s stood up to Brock Lesnar but Tony is scared of Jungle Boy💀 Cant make this shit up lmfao

Yep… Eric stood up to Nash… stood up to Rude who had issued vague gun threats… stood up to hothead Scott Steiner… the list goes on and on. Vince took the shot he knew he’d get from Bret…. But Tony fears for his life because… well apparently because he SAW Punk putting down Perry. 😂😂😂

Jungle Boys a kid XD

​@@sparkshadowtigergaming5602jungle bitch I call him !

But then he let TNA die by letting Hogan run wild at age 60​@@datacipher

You love to see it from Uncle Eric!

As Conrad hopelessly rolls over for Meltzer in real time because of some misplaced sense of loyalty. Or is it because meltzer and Conrad are both on TKs payroll?

@@Doug-my8qz Bingo.... you have the correct mindset here. The Conrad stooging for Dave Meltzer is a joke and I almost wonder if at times if its not an act just to rouse Big Daddy E.

I still don't know how Dave Meltzer's opinion matters after making so many bad calls and shit-takes with Kurt Angle's matches.

Alleged edible 😉😂

honestly. my thumbs get a workout wen he answers his own question 😂

He’s a mega neckbeard mark that no doubt posts on the Wrestling Observer forums. I’ve learned to accept it.

I think they cut to just Bischoff so much because Meltzer is beside Conrad with his pants around his ankles.

@@gobblegobble7well if your friend was being talked about like that what would you say on a live

@@rishyrish Most of us aren't friends w/ complete idiotic ass hats like Uncle Aspergers Metlzer. We make better choices.

Gotta agree on this, It's kinda time for Conrad to call a spade a spade with Uncle Dave. But, I kinda get it, he's cool with Dave, But, he's not "Elite" cool... Remember that Conrad

There were other “dirt sheet” or insiders in the 90s. Somehow Dave out survived all of them.

Which, credit to him. Now he can ride the "F*ck Meltzer" circuit - where people now absolutely bury the guy... BUT they're still talking about him, which extends his relevance. I'd do it too, if I could.

​@@Wilky2526Bullzhit

Literally

Yup and its so annoying

In girth, yes…for certain. Meltzer and Alvarez (his co-workers at AEW) rely on what they can consume in the ‘young cucks’ and ‘Brokeback’ page’s dressing rooms. So they eat ‘load’s, as well. But they are ‘MAYBE’ slightly bigger fans??

I can’t stand him

i feel like he wanna cry like a big baby he is XD

Well there he is 🤦🏿‍♂️lol

Lmao Conrad dying inside. The 5 stages of grief AEW edition

😂😂😂

@@D-Smooth Cool Cat/Erik Estrada flashbacks.

Damn he showed up. He couldn’t ever let go of the spotlight he thinks He has.

@@AJWEXIST47I heard this in Cornette’s voice so well!!!

Cornette doing his Jericho impression singing this…. Brian Last groaning and begging Jim to stop.

​@@AJWEXIST47 "Stop! Stop! Stop!" -Brian Last

@@AJWEXIST47 that was great 🛎️

Not really. Punk/Omega is a complete mismatch of a program. Omega isn't good enough on the mic to hang with Punk, and Punk was too old to put on the kind of match Omega is known for. Also no, Punk and Rollins do not legitimately hate each other lmao. They're a whole decade of various videos/podcasts where Punk refers to Rollins as a friend. It's a feud, buddy.

they were never both healthy at the same time

@@raveoreynolds6049 Omega is 5 years younger then Punk just saying.

He has been toned down since about two weeks ago. He was so bitter and hateable that pretty all the comments were about how he needed removed. I think he saw the absolute blowback and has been trying to tone it down ever since.

you can see how much he wanna cry and whine

Wrong

I tuned in when punk was on. Now I don't. I'm not even a punk fan really

CM Punk on Raw last week shows you're wrong on that with the ratings going up

@@unknownkingdomYea its not like he wasn't there number one shirt saler last year even though he was only there 2 months or anything

He did move the needle, more than anyone else in AEW by far, BUT he couldn’t even begin to move the needle in the competition between AEW and WWE. That was too much to ask of anyone. You need to deliver a great product overall, not just have a star come in. Now that can SPARK a big revolution, but they needed to follow up … and they didn’t.

Longways lol

😂😂😂

So does bryan alvarez to 😅😅

I think Omega or the lawyer accidentally kicked (you know how you accidently do) the dog... that's why he picked it up and ran off with it

Yeah, none of what you’re saying will hold up in court. He was asked a question that was a yes or no question and he said nothing. Body language or an interviewer’s perception of what it meant isn’t admissible. Sorry.

Excellent point.

​@@13MRCHAINSAWWho said anything about anything holding up in court?

Personally I think the dog bit Kenny Omega and not Ace Steele. Omega was likely pulling Punk off of the Bucks to break up the fight and the dog freaked out and bit him, but they all lied about it so the dog wouldn't get put down and Ace Steele went along with it.

I've learned to live Bischoff infinitely more since he's been out of the business. He's super smart and very funny if you get his humor.

Not true. AEW did its best numbers the years before punk. Good try tho

The numbers for collision are similar to when punk was there and the attendance the same and only drew big ratings on his debut after that they fell off

​@@teagan9184their best years are behind them

​@@teagan9184 incorrect. Dynamite had its best rating before Punk, yes. But 3 of their top 4 rated episodes were after he got there. #4 all time being Punk's Dynamite debut. And Rampage has never matched its debut rating (CM Punk's original return) and Collision has never matched its debut either (CM Punk's second return). Good try tho

​@@rogerday664the numbers of Collision are not similar to when Punk was there. The average of those two months or so is definitely higher than it has averaged in the months since.

Conrad's approaching Meltzer territory with his unfliching defense of "M'Dub".

He’s the host

😂

@@MichaelMyers-pj2ukthat’s no excuse

To sell you a loan

@@MichaelMyers-pj2ukEric don’t need him 😂

Eric has said this for a long time - then Punk said it almost exactly the same.

“Punk is not a needle move” -Eric Bischoff

CM Punk is a Professional Wrestler and a wannabe Actor/MMA The Khans are Billionaires who have multiple businesses all over the world I’ll just wait for the long game because I believe the businessman knows the long game of the business side better than CM Punk.

U so jealous

It's Tony Kahns personal sandpit. Nothing more.

His dad didn't give him anything. They are business partners and own numerous ventures (including Tony on his own). He's burning his own money, not daddy's Don't act like if you had a rich dad, you wouldn't

(carnival / carny) show-business; CM Punk doesn't like clowns (like Doink (Matt Bourne aka "Big Josh") ), I guess.

All Friends Wrestling

Everyone calls it “the business” but God forbid you actually treat it like one or you get what we have with Punk here. A true professional in a room full of hobbyists that also doesn’t suffer fools. Too many geeks, dorks and theatre kids on the wrong side of the guardrail and the actual athletes and tough dudes are taking a backseat to them because of poor management and that’s happening at every level of wrestling.

​@@shanestephens4728 Your identification of the various personalities running AEW are accurate. Punk, however, is not a "true professional." He's a whiny, entitled brat who was never that good in the ring (his move-set makes ZERO sense for his build, for example), or on the mic as he would get crickets during big speeches; he was given a glorious title reign and a winning record over John Cena at PPV events, and yet he still complained about it. He kept complaining about it for years after, like Brett and the Montreal gig, only Punk was never screwed and no one corroborated his stories. Then he came crawling back to wrestling when he had nothing going for him anywhere else and people treat him like a conquering hero. He goes for low-hanging fruit and people thing he's "telling it like it is." Now he's low-energy and slow but we're hoping for, what - a big main event with him at some point?

​@@saltedllama2759You typed a novel of bullzhit, Punk is a professional that was forced to work with kids dumaz

Conrad comes running in with a chair to help Meltzer and Khan. Misses Cornette with the chair shot and hits his head of the chair when it bounces off the top rope. Conrad falls down like humpdy dumpdy and we all laugh.

Dave would give himself 5 stars lol

Conrad attempting the hilariously aborted run in oh yes😆

​@@alesitercrimson24Conrad and running should not be in the same sentence.

If Cornette was ever going to bother to get into a ring again and actually fight someone it would be to smash Russo and Meltzer

Speaking of BL….and Corny and Meltzer, Alvarez, Samperveve (host/co host w all these except Corny) BL’s little news pod….why does nobody put those pieces together as a big work, I don’t understand.

How big a moron would BL be if you took away his Google and Melter’s newsletter.

Yeah Conrad

He’s still in denial

MJF to Tony K: Here's the thing boss - you've got a position of power in a wrestling company, when the only position you should be assuming, is behind the guard rail with all of them (fans). [A few moments later] MJF: [looks straight down the camera lens] Tony (Khan), I want you to fire me - YOU FUCKING MARK!!!! FIRE ME!!! FIRE ME!!! [mic cuts off]

Don't know if you listen but Bischoff has been saying it all along too. I love Cornette most of all and Bischoff is the only Conrad podcast I listen to. If not for Eric, I couldn't stomach it.

Corny is always right when it comes about aew

​@@paulbrown9311 and Russo as well. That's very telling. When Corny, Bischoff & Russo are all on the same page and have been for years on AEW.

​@naturallawman2965 Russo was right about Meltzer and the smarks. He's been saying it for over a decade.

Cornette votes for Brandon, so no he's isnt always right. He's an idiot.

Bankrupt Bischoff can't do mathematics.

Take my upvote and get out of my sight, you brilliantly incisive bastard.

What difference does it make though. He would go to wwe after his 90 days expires regardless.

​@@mrnicemam8523he could have debuted in WWE the very next day or next week.. Even Nick Kahn thought Punk had a 90 day clause. The reason it exist is to cool off the momentum a wrestler is carrying.

Great point!

Unless him being fired for cause cancelled out any type of no compete. It's not like he was released or quit

​@@moriordan85Did you not listen to his interview? He quit at the PPV.

Punk is a verbal nine inch nail that AEW doesn't need. Mass grave.

Playing a major role in pushing pro wrestling to be the hottest it’s been 2 decades is a victory lap around fucking Saturn, punk is a goat

AEW is an example of Carnies helping themselves to a mark's money.

EB continues to provide us with great perspectives and experienced insight. He’s underestimated and I gotta think he will improve once he’s doing his solo podcasts more regularly without his “co-host”

@@Doug-my8qzwould be way better without Conrad

@@Doug-my8qz he should talk to Dutch Mantel how to do that without living off of Conrad.

Brrrruuuhhhh🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And he didn't even need the stuff that HHH did for it ...

he signed enough early on that he would have to make cuts sooner or later

It's so funny how people hate on Conrad. But the whole time is so clear that you guys are so jealous of him that it's sad if he really was a mark for AEW. He would not be doing this podcast about this subject

@@handsomelee9568You know that it’s possible to objectively dislike Conrad’s schtick without being “haters” or “jealous”, right? Those are very lazy retorts to fans who thought it was a breath of fresh air when Eric posted that video of just himself talking about Tony Khan, and would like more of that. More of Eric himself without Conrad interrupting and being an AEW apologist.

I don't hate Conrad and nor am I jealous of Conrad, just his southern drawl and fanboying AEW is annoying. I could listen to Eric talking for hours but Conrad voice and opinions give me ear fatigue.

@mr.green2341 do you dislike NBC because they have commercials? That seems to be the hate is he has too many commercials. Maybe I am missing it so educate what is the shtick that everyone is disliking?

@mr.green2341 sorry I replied to soon and didn't press see more. So Conrad's issue is he is an "apologist" so he speaks to positively about AEW on HIS network. So let's say someone called you an Eric apologist, would that be fair?

Everything Tony does is pathetic, really. Purely reactive with no self-awareness of which to speak, whatsoever.

The culture and structure of WWE is way different to how it was 10 years ago.

It's also funny that you have forgotten that was a decade ago, lol!

i said it once, i’ll say it again; if you leave the bingo halls and high school gyms for the big time arenas, start earning the big time money, you may think you miss the times when it was “real” but go back and see how much you really enjoy the big time when you can’t get a shower, your bag has been rifled through and you’re paid a hotdog and a handshake…. you never missed it, you’re romanticising the past

@@nickchivers9029 Particularly after the buyout. I doubt Punk comes back if Vince is still head of the company.

I dont think Punk didnt like the structure wwe had, I think he didnt like to be second fiddle under other superstars. If you watch Maeven's video about his tag match, the first one for Punk at WWE, you will se that Maeven say that Punk was very focused on learn how to perform in that wrestling style. Punk seems to do better when he has some discipline around him, but also can keep leeway to some improvisations.

It must have explained a lot for Ariel ‘if I have to hear one more ‘uh actually um well I can’t answer that..’ Helwani 😆

He’s not used to do anything other than wiping his mouth of aew “juices” and selling people shitty predator loans

And 500k for raw Monday

Yup. EB will ride Hogan's nuts until his dying days.

Conrad is a host who needs the help of an exorcist.

He defends AEW because Ric Flair works there now, and Ric Flair is Conrad father-in-Law. Conrad is married to Meagan Flair. Conrad is a tool.

Smh fans like you are my needed in the space of wrestling

Even russo agree with bischoff and cornette when it comes to aew

@@chuckles9767 are you really using promo shit talking bout real life side of the biz?

@@chuckles9767 there's literally no stories or hints of Cody pulling shit like Hogan. WrestleMania 9? Fucking everything he did in WCW. The nostalgia run he never put anyone over. Like no one is on Hogan's level of politicing. All rumors are Cody was actually good to give away his match cuz hes literally not a politician backstage.

@@chuckles9767 also taker is not the leader you think.

I've seen many insances with Cody putting people over. For Hogan, when did he last put people over. Ultimate Warrior? His last weeks in TNA?

​@@chuckles9767ROH and NWA died literally cause of the pandemic. NJPW getting picked clean started *way* after Cody left and it's completely on TK.

​@@Rschr101😂😂😂 found one

Nope

I hate Punk so much, but he did bring in people to AEW, then many of those people left after he was fired. F CM Punk! He’s an ego maniac who is over hyped.

@@Rschr101yea he did tho so lol

Buffet closed, he's gotta do something with his time before the pizza delivers.

Tony could go full "NWA Samhain" and just break out an eight ball and just start motorboating it on stage, and t5he dubbalos would somehow go to the most preposterous lengths to justify it.

Yet Conrad shits all over WWE when they do the exact same thing. Hypocrite

Finally someone agrees with me

Thank you!

I’ll look into it

😂

His truth, absolutely. But there's some holes in his story and how he's presented himself.

Lol sureee

Punk spoke his truth doesn't mean it's the truth if punk really believed what he was saying he would of quit aew straight away instead of taking the money then burying the company

@@rogerday664 if it was a normal job that didnt have a contract he prob would have

​@@rogerday664the company and it's owner bury it every week. Every single week. But you're mad about a top star being polite and honest about their experience? Lmfao how childish

on Dave (Meltzer) and Bryan (Alvarez) (from WON: Wrestling Observer Newsletter); Nick Hausman (Haus of Wrestling) = CM Punk called these wrestling journalists/reporters as "Goofy." Meltzer's response to Punk's nickname was: "That's us." I like the "Keepin' It 100" podcast with Konnan and Disco Inferno; Stories with Brisco and JBL; Story time with "Dirty" Dutch Mantell; "What Happened When (with Tony Schiavone)"; sometimes, "Something to Wrestle With" (with Bruce Prichard). For many decades now (ever since 1983), Meltzer does have "staying power."

@@kshinokevin Good lists of podcasts. Throw in some Cornette.. I need to check out the JBL podcast, have not yet. Dutch Mantell has an excellent Tuesday and Friday schedule.

What's truly fucked up is that they collectively can't fucking compute how they're just as much of the problem as Tony's booking is.
