“Drawing more money, what does that mean anymore?” Bischoff commented. “Again, I like Randy a lot, and I have a ton of respect for him, so I do not mean this to be any kind of a shot at Randy...but Randy has the luxury of having a very successful career, with for what is — in all intents and purposes — it wasn’t intentional, but [WWE’s] a monopoly.”
“Yes, WWE makes a lot of money, and as a result, so does Randy. Randy hasn’t had to change his style, because he has the privilege of working for a company that is able to pay Randy a lot of money. And he doesn’t have to go out and make his living on the independent circuit. Randy doesn’t have to go out and create new fans. All Randy has to do is stay on the treadmill.”
Bischoff continued on the subject, saying that if he were a young worker in the indies, he would take offense to what The Viper said in his comment.
“[Randy] has that luxury, that privilege of getting seven figures, and having a check show up in the mail once a month for things [he] don’t even remember doing, and getting merchandise money because this machine behind [him] that prints that money. And a lot of people don’t [have that machine], the vast majority of people don’t. It’s a little bit like the music industry — where 2% of the people make 98% of the money. Well, I don’t think that 2% of the people who are making 98% of the money should necessarily look down their nose at the other 98%, who are trying to craft a living.”
