Eric Bischoff Has ‘No Sympathy’ For Frustrated Talent

WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff has stated that he has no sympathy for talent frustrated about their booking.

In recent years, numerous stars from the likes of AEW and WWE have publicly voiced frustrations about how they’re utilised by their respective promotions.

Following recent reports that Tony Khan will not be granting releases anytime soon, it has been indicated that several stars want out of their current deals.

On his 83 Weeks Podcast, Eric Bischoff argued that talent should be grateful for their positions, as many rising stars would do anything to have their spot.

Sharing his advice to those not satisfied with their booking, Bischoff said:

“Be ready for your opportunity. Because let’s face it, injuries are a thing. Contract issues are a thing. HR issues are a thing. Just because you’re at the bottom of the card or you’re not getting as much Television time as you think you deserve, keep your nose to the grindstone.

“If you’re getting paid and you’re healthy and you get to spend time with your family, and you have more time to work out, maybe you have some time (to improve.) God forbid, take some classes. Take some improv classes. Learn how to be better as a character on Television. You’re getting paid good money and you’re not on the road 300 days a year.

“Focus on yourself. I don’t have sympathy for talent who are frustrated. First of all, you made the decision. You made the choice to go work there.

“And because things aren’t going exactly the way you want them to go, exactly when you want them to go, I don’t think it gives you the right (to complain.) It certainly is not a good look to make as much noise and be as negative an influence as some people are. Man, be grateful! God almighty be grateful.

“How many people in the world, or this country, would do anything to change places with you? And guess what? They wouldn’t be bitching about how much TV time they’re not getting. Come on man, be grateful.”

Following Andrade El Idolo’s recent backstage altercation with Sammy Guevara, reports indicated that Andrade has been ‘trying to get fired‘. You can read more about the backstage altercation right here.
