WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff sets the record straight about his status with the company.
In a tweet, Eric Bischoff responded to a fan who asked him whether he had a legends deal with WWE, given his inclusion on WWE 2K25. He stated that he did not have a contract with WWE, a legends deal or otherwise. Bischoff explained that he received royalties whenever WWE used his likeness, as this was part of his original talent agreement and it was still standard practice.
Bischoff has made multiple appearances for MLW in recent months. He has also appeared on NXT television twice.
Eric Bischoff On Making Appearances
In a recent interview with Ben Fowlkes for Uncrowned, Bischoff commented on why he continues to make wrestling appearances.
“I don’t know if it’s my ego or if it’s because I’ve done it so long I’ve gotten addicted to that reaction from the audience,” Bischoff said. “It is a rush when you can manipulate the audience and get them to do what you want them to do when you want them to do it. I guess it’s a power play of some sort. It’s fun to be able to manipulate an audience. You can’t get that feeling a lot of other places.”
