Vince McMahon’s WCW enemy Eric Bischoff has now come out in the defense of former WWE chairman. This may come as a surprise for many, as he came out in support of Vince McMahon at a time when the whole world is against him. Bischoff said that the devilish portrayal of Vince in the recently released Netflix docuseries is intentional and is part of a conspiracy between Netflix and TKO.
Bischoff took a dig at Netflix and TKO
Speaking on a recent episode of his 83 week podcast, Bischoff said that the first two episodes of the docuseries ‘Mr. McMahon’ fail Vince as they show a small glimpse of his struggle with his abusive stepfather. Bischoff further stated that many aspects of Vince McMahon’s life will be a great inspiration to people, including rising from a life of poverty and becoming a billionaire businessman through his hard work. However, Bischodd says that the docuseries does not show that aspect of his life, although several interviews were taken, including an interview with Vince McMahon, detailing his traumatic childhood.
“That’s a hero’s journey in a way and I feel like Netflix, ad to a degree TKO, is going to do to Vince McMahon what Vince McMahon did to Bret Hart going to f*** him in the end,” said Bischoff. He explained why Netflix and TKO don’t want that part of McMahon’s life to be seen in the light of day because it would make him too sympathetic which TKO and Netflix wouldn’t want for Vince.
The former WWE chairman also slammed the show makers
“This was intentional. There is a mission behind it, there is a purpose behind it. I think it’s TKO’s way of divorcing—in the public eye—completely from Vince McMahon and the only way to do that is to make him the devil,” said Eric Bischoff. Vince himself criticized the showmakers just a day before the release of the docuseries and stated that producers intentionally created a misleading narrative around his image. McMahon said the show mixes up his character and urged viewers to be aware that there are two sides to a story when watching the series.
