Eric Bischoff Admits WWE Had Good Catering

Eric Bischoff is actually a fan of WWE’s catering, but maybe not running a wrestling promotion in Canada.

During a recent interview with Matt Young for Fightful, Eric Bischoff was asked about what it was like bringing WCW to Canada. Bischoff said it was expensive and had restrictions, including the strict immigration process that barred some talent from entering the country.

“What was it like? It was freaking expensive. Doing business in Canada is really, really difficult. It’s difficult because Canada has — and by the way, I think it’s great. I’m not being negative. But they have a very strict immigration process and some of our guys, some of our talent had DUIs — driving under the influence — things like that on their record and they just couldn’t get into the country. Not only do you have talent that has some of that in their background, you’ve got production staff and people like that that had a hard time getting in the country.”

Bischoff went on to say that Canada made it very difficult for anyone besides Canadian producers to create television in Canada. He noted that he understands the restrictions, but American companies pay the price if they do business up there.

Eric Bischoff also shared that all joking aside, WWE actually has good catering.

There have been plenty of remarks about wrestling companies’ catering over the years, including a running gag involving Bischoff. Young joked that he took up too much of Bischoff’s time and wanted to let him get back to catering, and Bischoff said that WWE’s catering department was actually very good.

“I’m in catering. I’ve already eaten. That whole thing about catering is just nonsense. Not from you, but the rumor is that when I was in WWE, all I ever did was sit in catering. But I will admit, WWE did have good catering. However, the catering here, I ain’t shitting you guys, the catering here is pretty good. That barbecue chicken is the bomb. It is the bomb, and that pasta? Come on, now. The vegetables taste more like vegetables than any vegetables I’ve had in a long time. The catering is excellent.”
