Bischoff says Mercedes Mone returning to WWE would be beneficial for her
Eric Bischoff discussed Mercedes Mone’s wrestling future, emphasizing that returning to WWE would be more beneficial for her. Bischoff expressed the belief that signing with AEW could effectively end her career as a star
“Could she make more money with Tony? Yes. But her career as a star is effectively over at that point. And if one doesn’t agree with that statement, look at any other ‘former WWE star’ that is better off today than they were at the peak of their careers in WWE. I’m not talking about the guys who were on their way out the door or the guys that really, you know, hadn’t been used very often.”
”I’m talking about people that were at their peak of their careers in WWE. They make that move to AEW. Their career is not what it was. It’s the end of the road. But if the end of the road comes with a big old fat paycheck so you don’t need anymore road, I’d be right there with you. I’d do the same thing.”
Yeah, no single former WWE wrestler has benefitted from making the jump. I mean, poor Samoa Joe is really struggling. Same for Billy Gunn and Christian. And poor Adam Cole, they can’t find anything to do with him, right?
I get the point Eric is trying to make, because not all moves have worked. However, he’s also blind to the fact that you really don’t need WWE anymore to be a star. David Smith went to Japan and became a star. Matt Cardona is making a mint on the indies. Either Eric is trying to toe the company line, keep positive about WWE in hopes they’ll toss him a biscuit, or, like Vince, wrestling has passed him by, and he doesn’t realize it.
That’s Sasha Banks not Mercedes, no one will recognize that stupid, irrelevant name! Bischoff is right. She’s killing his career slowly. He needs to return too. We need his insight to make wrestling great again.
She’s not that entertaining wherever she goes. She seems like she thinks she’s entitled to something, I guess cause she’s related to Snoop and she’s not getting enough rub off of that. I think that’s why she left WWE, and now she realized that WWE just kept on rolling without her. She must have thought they were gonna be in a tight spot if they walked out like that, but they never missed a beat. Bischoff is just bashing AEW (again) because he’s jealous they haven’t offered him a job.
