Eric Bischoff recently talked about the 2019 WWE Draft on his 83 Weeks Podcast. He said it was tough to deal with and wishes his friend, Bruce Prichard, isn’t dealing with the same stuff he had to:
“That was just a freaking nightmare right up until the final moments we went on air,” Bischoff said. “It was constant second guessing, back and forth, last minute changes. It was just brutal.
I’m watching now and I know the draft is going on now and I’m thinking man, I haven’t heard from Bruce [Prichard] in a long time and I’m going to wait till after this is all over to reach out to him. This is just f***ing miserable if it’s the same as it was last year. I can tell you literally up until the day of the show none of us knew who was going where. Try writing T.V. that way, by the way.”
One thing WWE doesn’t seem to do well enough is plan for their future storylines. From quick moves on the roster to quick title changes, there never seems to be a consistent plan in place. Bischoff was with the company for a long time, so to deal with this type of uncertainty in a popular driven environment must have been crushing.
