Former SmackDown Executive Director and Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff has claimed that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was once interested in buying Playboy.
Bischoff revealed on his 83 Weeks podcast show that he connected Vince McMahon and Joe Francis (founder of Girls Gone Wild) in the early 2000s as both were allegedly interested in buying Playboy:
“I hooked up Joe Francis and WWE to do a show / pay-per-view.” “I set up a meeting with Joe Francis and Linda McMahon because Vince [McMahon] was interested in buying Playboy and Joe Francis was also interested in buying Playboy for different reasons so they both had different goals. They were both interested in the same property so I got those two together and Linda had a meeting with Joe in Los Angeles because of me.”
This is certainly interesting as it emerged earlier this month that Chyna was told that she would win the WWE Championship if she turned down the opportunity to appear in a Playboy magazine.
