Eric Bischoff and Vince McMahon

After a revelation appeared that he paid 3 million USD to a former female employee following an alleged affair, Vince McMahon is the subject of an investigation by the company’s Board of Directors. Wrestling legend Eric Bischoff weighed in on Vince McMahon’s decision to resign as WWE CEO and Chairman in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations.

Bischoff stated he was “dumbfounded” when he received the news on his 83 Weeks podcast regarding the situation: Eric Bischoff said, “I was dumbfounded. Shocked. I can’t imagine anybody felt any differently. Even though it appears to be very temporaneous and not a permanent situation, at least that’s not the way it’s presented or the way I read it, but nonetheless, it’s a big damn deal and it did shock me.”

The former WCW President went on to say that he has a lot of friends in the Stamford-based organization and that the controversy will have an impact on them:

Eric Bischoff further continued, “I feel bad for a lot of people. I still have a lot of friends in WWE that I do care about a lot. Regardless of how this ends up, it’s going to adversely affect a lot of people. How do you feel anything other than bad for people that you know and have affection for that are having to go through this? To be sitting in that seat, to be there in the eye of that fu**ing hurricane, man I feel for a lot of people.”

Last week’s episode of SmackDown began with Vince McMahon entering the ring. While the 76-year-old did not address the charges that led to his resignation as WWE Chairman and CEO, he did repeat the company’s tagline ‘Then, Now, Forever,’ emphasizing the fourth word, ‘together.’ In the absence of Vince McMahon, his daughter Stephanie McMahon has been named Interim CEO and Chairwoman of the corporation.
