Eric Bischoff BUSHED...Bruce Pritchard replaces as "executive director" of SmackDown

[The Intergalactic Koala]

First FOX forces Vince to get rid of the Firefly Funhouse and now Bischoff is booted as creative executive of Smackdown. Then they lost a million of viewers in the second week on FOX on a draft show.

Not Good.

The irony is that all of these "changes" happening around the time of the XFL draft.

Vince really bushing his own product in favor of a dead on arrival ass football league that will last longer than a virgin in bed with Pinky

At this point WWE already waved the white flag in advance because it's fitting to get real ugly from the promotion to the trash ass game

I've just seen this and came on to see if it was posted, what happened?

 

[The Ruler 09]

This is crazy, something must have gone on here for this to happen because it's so early.

 

[The Ruler 09]

He seemed very excited about this, he'd moved his whole family for this shyt, he spoke about it a lot on his podcast. There will be a lot of stuff coming out about this.

 

[Sypress]

Did they fax his firing to him?

 

[The Ruler 09]

Bischoff might have done or said something or be ill. Or had huge issues with somebody important. This is very weird, shyt's just started on Fox.

Think you were going to come back to your previous employer after having an immensely popular national podcast gloating about how badly you out maneuvered him during the most successfully period in the businesses history and be treated right brehs

He filed for bankruptcy a couple years ago

No opening, no closing

I bet that Eric was probably proposing some ideas to Vince and they were getting shut down. So either Vince made the move to remove him from the position or Bischoff probably asked to be out.

Yup. NXT is the only reason WWE is surviving product wise.

I bet Bischoff had no ideas and Bruce was writing the shows anyway

Possible, very early though, only been 1 or 2 shows officially on Fox, wonder what his contract is like, if he's released or if they are able to keep him/make him do something else. Not sure he'd fit in with AEW either, possibly as a talent/manager but doubt he really fits in with their staff, he's a bit outdated but probably has some things to offer. I'd be suprised if it was just creative, feel like something may have happened, even if it started like that then went left or something. It seems very early to hire the guy who was suppossed to be running shyt.

The good thing about Bruce is he sometimes comes up with some good story shyt, hopefully he can bring some of that to Smackdown. I'm not big on Bishoff or anything, just surprised it's happened so early.
