Video: Bischoff says Mercedes Mone has no business on a microphone
Eric Bischoff (via 83 weeks) says WWE knew how to utilize Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks). However, Bischoff says her stock has dropped off significantly due to Tony Khan giving Mercedes creative control, and giving her the microphone.
“Mercedes cannot carry a promo. She should never be allowed to open her mouth. Every time she opens her mouth, her stock goes down, and it’s to the point now where I don’t know if she’s worth anything.”
(warning: strong language)
So who’s gonna bash poor Bischoff for telling the truth now?
She has wrestled what, 3 matches? Worse than a part time champ like Logan was.
@Luke
So, we should listen to someone whose all washed up? Someone whose not even trying to go up against WWE anymore? No one should listen to him. He’s from a different era as compared to now.
Telling the truth? That’s about as hilarious as Cornette giving criticism to today’s talent, which he shouldn’t be.
@Mile
Yes, we know you’re jealous that you don’t have the wrestling talent Mone has.
@Woooo!
You’re right, your opinion is much more valid than theirs. Off with Bischoff’s and Cornette’s heads!!! And let’s burn all the history books while we’re at it!
@Luke
All I’m saying is, it’s kinda like Bischoff’s criticism of AEW overall; you can tell he’s jealous that he’s no longer part of an organization going up against WWE. And, because of that, his attacks on Tony Khan & such aren’t really worth anything, because they’re coming from jealousy, rather than a sincere point of concern.
Plus, my point about Cornette is valid, because a territories guy isn’t going to understand the current age of wrestling.
@Woooo!
But of course. I’m sure you know Eric’s intentions better than he does. I mean, the guy is almost 70, has a wife he still loves, lives exactly where and how he wants to live, and has more money than he will ever need. It’s obvious that the one thing he’s missing is a full time job.
And Jim’s a complete moron. How dare he be right about pretty much everything he’s been saying about the current age of wrestling when he only knows territories? How dare he have the two top wrestling-related podcasts in the world when he knows nothing about podcasting or the current age of media in general? And how dare he claim that you need to profit in order for your business to be called successful? That’s the territories way!
Bischoff is right, Mone is downright terrible on the stick. And this goes to a point I’ve mad several times. The wrestlers that had no mic skills to begin with were going to be exposed in AEW.
This isn’t WWE, where you’re handed a script to remember ahead of time. Promo’s are expected to be organic. And some people don’t have those instincts.
