Eric Bischoff is a former Executive Producer and President of WCW. He served the company for 10 years from 1991 to 2001. Bischoff then moved to WWE where he served as the RAW General Manager during his first stint in 2002 and 2007, and as Executive Director of SmackDown in 2019. He is currently focusing on the 83 Weeks Podcast.
Speaking to Michael Morales Torres of Lucha Libre Online, Eric Bischoff revealed that he does not think either Roman Reigns or Drew McIntyre will ever become the face of WWE. However, he claims that it has nothing to do with the abilities of both wrestlers, but rather due to WWE’s business model. A model that is designed to prevent any Superstar from becoming bigger than the company.
Eric Bischoff used Stone Cold Steve Austin as an example, citing Austin’s departure back in 2002 as a possible reason why WWE is not looking to establish a bonafide face of the company.
Eric Bischoff believes Reigns and McIntyre can be ambassadors of wrestling
Despite claiming that WWE will not make either Roman Reigns or Drew McIntyre the face of the company, Eric Bischoff still thinks that they could be ambassadors of professional wrestling.
This comes as no surprise, considering both men are at the top of their respective brands. Roman Reigns is the WWE Universal Champion on SmackDown, and Drew McIntyre is the WWE Champion on RAW.
Eric Bischoff’s idea of WWE’s business model not supporting the possibility of a future face of the company is interesting. What do you think? Will either Reigns or McIntyre take up the mantel? Let us know down below.
