Eric Bischoff interviews never get old! Vince McMahon inducting Eric into the WWE Hall of Fame it shows how Vince doesn’t hold grudges on old competitors and the fact that Eric appears on aew television but he’s still willing to put him in the hall of fame is just gold!!! Chris I have to say you are one of the greatest if not the greatest interviewers of our generation.
@@TheJSexton24 A win is a win, even if it has an asterisk after it. AEW has continued to beat NXT even when they bring on guest (or even permanent) stars from Raw/SD.
@Christopher Marriott Triple H runs NXT dumbfuq Tony Khan cannot and will not ever say he beat Vince McMahon that’s why NXT talent don’t get over on The main shows cause they’re not Vince guys I don’t like WWE but if u guys are so high and mighty beating up on the little talent Move to Monday Nights and see if u win
He did it good and then vince took it to another level. Vince could take it places Eric couldn't. How he had restrictions put on him by "standards and practices" on turners station while now Jericho and crew can say bitch, bastards, shit heads and flip the bird? Makes zero sense they also couldn't do it then, when the ratings were as good as they were.
I met Mr. Bischoff at a Controversy Creates Cash book signing in MD when I was a teen. This happened at probably the height of my adolescent wrestling fandom and he was the nicest dude you could've imagined. He talked to my younger brother and I like we were the only people in line, and he didn't owe us that much of his time at a free book signing. Hell of a dude and hell of an interview. Thanks for having him on the show, sir.
I started watching WWE in 2005 when i was 10. Eric Bischoff was a great heel GM and i use to hate him, specially in that amazing SmackDown vs Raw rivalry leading up to Survivor Series! Thank you Eric for the memories and congrats to CVV for another great interview!
I know it's cliche' to say this with many people, but I truly think a raw and uncut with no punches pulled biopic of Eric Bischoff would be historical to wrestling fans. A biopic of what we may know all the way down to what we didn't know would be so amazing. I hope Eric decides to do this soon since he's up in age because WCW played a huge impact on wrestling all the way to his time in TNA.
Can't wait to start watching this CVV!! I met Eric in Australia a couple of years ago & he is such a nice dude. Major part of my love for professional wrestling is because of him & WCW 😊
Thank you EB, for all the memories! What a legend. I remember in 2003 when yourself and Stone Cold was co-GMs, great storylines, great intensity, and......dayyyyyumm you took that Chokeslam from Kane like a beast off of the stage at RAW!!! Good ole days! Congrats on the HOF!
Really well done interview. Eric Bischoff comes off as a honest and genuine guy, really positive vibes. I especially like his outlook on life, there is a time and place for everything, it might not always work but there is a lesson to be learned both good and bad. Well done as usual Chris Van Vliet. Love your interviews. Keep up the great work.
Great interview with the guy that ran my fav promotion of all time. Not one dead moment of air or "ers" or "erms", not even Eric's trademark "I don't recall...." from 83 Weeks. Really enjoyed this one & to hear Eric talk so candidly. Congrats to Easy E on a well deserved HOF induction.
We need a three hours interview with you both. Eric is so entertaining and a true legend. I always loved to hate him. What a great, respectful and honet man. Greetings from Germany.
one of the best talkers on the mic and in genrnal hes up there with paul haymen in my view as coming from a creative mind stand point, well done for this years hof 2021
I've seen lot of interviews with Bischoff when he was little younger and I identified with that balls to wall get ahead attitude but to see him at his age he reminds me of myself in my later yrs...Eric seems happy,healthy and pleased with his life right now..He see's at his age like I do so much clearer about what's really important like your family and your health and that's awesome...Congrats to Bischoff on his Hall Of Fame award!!!...
Honestly, WWE not WWF but WWE was at its best with Eric as GM of raw in the early 2000s. Loved the matches, loved the shows back then. Has never even been close for me since!
Anyone remember the feud between Bischoff and Austin? It was amazing. One of my best childhood memories is seeing Bischoff break a brick on good ol JR's face lol
I dont have more nice words! For real, another really fucking awesome Interview! Trank u so much Chiris, for this piece of history, like the great mr. Easy E. Likes. Greatings from México,Bro, big fan.
"I wasn't proud of anything; it was transactional." "The TV industry became too transactional in my later years within it. There wasn't enough focus on instinct and emotion." !?!?!?
Sometimes I really wish WCW won the Monday Night War. If Eric got control again in time before they were bought out and the higher ups that didn’t want WCW to succeed in the first place weren’t a problem as well I think wrestling right now would be much better off personally! Eric is a true legend of the business, that took WCW to heights we might never see again, what he accomplished should have got him promoted within that TV network and got him even richer, instead he got burnt out by everything around him.
Regarding the "Tuesday Nigh Wars": In the way it is supposed to be it is 100% like Eris Bischoff said it is. BUT we are talking at a time NXT had better Storylines and Character building than the so called "main roster". While HHH and his team delivered Vince droped the ball sooo many time. To get "promoted" to the main roster for some NXT talents could also very well ment a soon career end, or them guarding catering or doing stupid comedy angles. So for that period The "Cream of the Crop" regarding quality was NXT, even if it was and is WWE's development brand. Yes, I am just a fan, but again, I don't need to know how the cake is made to know if I like it or not and why.
Absolutely agree with Eric hundred percent AEW is finally starting to look like wcw again in a positive way with a all round about wrestlers with mainstream mega star experience and not wcw had all types of wrestlers in different brackets from the cruiser weights to the heavy weights and the mainstream veterans to keep it running smoothly as the perfect package and mainstream stars bring the money and revenue to the product thats why when hogan and bischoff came to TNA and there friends to mix with the younger wrestlers in the story told tna had the highest viewership ever at 3.5 million and automatically landing a deal to compete with raw on Monday nights again on there own station and like Eric said at that time they could have easily competed again on that level of dixie and her controlling parents didn't pull the financial plug on the whole thing at the worst time possible and ruined it for everybody until hogan quit then aj styles and it never recovered since then mainstream wise like that 2010 night when hogan arrived and had the loudest pop from the audience in tna history and the crowd was going wild and everybody was getting goosebumps again like the old days knowing this was the biggest move since WCW and this might be another chance of a lifetime to do it right without AOL management breathing down there necks and calling the shots into oblivion and demise unfortunately Dixie's parents were just like AOL and didn't like wrestling and wanted to invest in something else so like AOL it was only a matter of time before the writing was on the wall again after the money started to run out
Looking back at it now, if Eric Bischoff signed with WWF and didn't go to WCW, it woukd be almost a sure thing, WCW wouldn't have lasted as long as it did, it wouldn't have made it to 1995

Congratulations to Eric Bischoff on joining the 2021 WWE Hall Of Fame class
I remember when CVV interviewed Bischoff 3 years ago! It’ll be 3 yrs in June. And now Eric Bischoff is in the WWE hall of fame,congratulations!

The only person on this planet who can say Vince McMahon to his face that he beat him at his own game
Well deserved hof induction
Ted Turner can say that as well but true
Tony Kahn can sort of say that too, at least as far as NXT is concerned.
@@johns3491 That’s WWEs minor leauge system vs. AEWs main show that’s like Nitro vs Heat lol

Eric Bischoff was a damn good heel back in the day
Yea he was. Everybody hated him lol
@@jjthapyro4130 absolutely lol
That was just...him...like, as a shoot

Every time I hear from Eric he's just a fella you can easily listen to like Regal, DDP, Foley a genuine gentleman.
Eric is the biggest worker in business
Bischoff is a character and i love him for it. He's so entertaining to listen to.
I started watching WWE in 2005 when i was 10. Eric Bischoff was a great heel GM and i use to hate him, specially in that amazing SmackDown vs Raw rivalry leading up to Survivor Series!

Played by Adam Scott.
One of the most deserving WWE Hall of Fame inductees in recent memory.
I wish Chris asked him about his most recent time with WWE... That Heyman/Bischoff combo could have been something special
Can't wait to start watching this CVV!! I met Eric in Australia a couple of years ago & he is such a nice dude. Major part of my love for professional wrestling is because of him & WCW 😊

Chris you're the best interviewer in "the business" great vid, thank you.
I could listen Eric talk about anything. Dude knows how to tell a story
Congrats well deserved HOF Eric Bischoff! I'm a fan of Eric and loved watching wrestling when Eric played the boss heel.
Congrats Eric you deserve it 👏
Amazing Interview Chris 😁👍
Whatever opinion you may have about Eric, he is certainly a man to listen to when it comes to his business philosophy.
Remember when Eric Bishoff got blamed for SD failing & got released? Now WWE HOF! Let's go! "I'M BACK! AND BETTER THAN EVER!"
At this stage Chris I want to see an interview with Vince! Smashing it as always brother (y)
I have been waiting for this one. 😀
he's baaaack and better than ever
Thank you for this
Dude your interview skills are exceptional!
I appreciate the kind words! 🙏🙏

Chris your segways flow well, great natural interviewing style
Great interview!
CVV Never Misses!!!!!
Hell yeah! Been waiting for this Chris. Can’t wait to listen. Eric going into the HOF is so deserved! Hope everything is well during these times!
Enjoying the podcast
Welcome to the hall of fame Eric, much deserved ❤️❤️❤️
Such a great chat!!
Great timing!
That TNA roster damn.. It's underrated how good TNA almost was
Timing of this couldn't be better as Eric is gonna get inducted into the HOF. Fantastic interview Chris
CVV got him in the HOF change my mind
Oh man...good memories... time flies guys
Great interview! I'm an Eric Bischoff fan.
Have you, or is there a plan to interview Tony Schiavone and Sting?
Hell yeah, Bischoff in the Hall of Fame!!
Never would have thought 20 years ago, Eric Bischoff would be one of the most likeable people from the wrestling business lol
Anyone remember the feud between Bischoff and Austin? It was amazing. One of my best childhood memories is seeing Bischoff break a brick on good ol JR's face lol
Congratulations Eric Bishoff and to you chris on your great interview excellent I agree with Eric there’s no war with AEW and Nxt
Congratulations on the hall of fame Eric Bischoff
Chris, this interview was just so organic. You do such a great job. I'd love to see in a full time interviewer situation for a wrestling company.
What a legend Eric is
Eric is the man
What the time stamp for what Eric was talking about in the shows introduction ( i missed it). Thanks!
I dont have more nice words! For real, another really fucking awesome Interview! Trank u so much Chiris, for this piece of history, like the great mr. Easy E. Likes. Greatings from México,Bro, big fan.
Many thanks man!
Eric still looks great at his age and congrats on his induction to the WWE Hall of Fame
HES BACK
And he's better than ever
Man I've seen him before but i saw him on the hall of fame class and last week
Damn! Easy E looking "83" years older. Who cares?! Thanks for all your work in the business.
🎵HE'S BA-ACK, TALKIN' TO CVV! GOT A KNA-ACK, FOR GREAT CONVERSATION!🎵
Awesome interview . How cool is Easy E.
Congratulations to Eric bischoff on his hall of fame induction. 👏.
Who’s here after wwe announced he’s getting inducted into the hall of fame
I am!
"I wasn't proud of anything; it was transactional."
"The TV industry became too transactional in my later years within it. There wasn't enough focus on instinct and emotion."
!?!?!?

Good interview. Does anyone know why Ted turner doesn’t do interviews about wrestling?
I think he's more of a business man and gave money into wrestling, cause he thought it was a good investment.
Chris van vliet the Canadian Superman the gimmick writes itself
Funny thing is, when Eric said about being singed corpse etc, I said something similar to my mum and dad when we talk about wrestling of old hahaha
I hope CVV get Jim Cornett one day
"I don't read for entertainment, I read for research."
can you do interview with Raven?
Brock Lesnar earns his money. 2020 Royal Rumble performance was 🔥🔥🔥
Nice
Can you interview ICP
53:20 Sting Part. The only reason I clicked.

Was literally about to type Eric looks like he’s using a green screen back round but he later admits he is
It was most definitely a war, which AEW won.
WWE made it a war. AEW is a creative outlet for talent just trying to do what they want to do.
Can you interview PJ Black again, please?
All phones now have a bluelight filter guys😆
