>>15983751I think Dave is right to gloat on this one. If you have enough ear time to listen to Dave, and Eric, and Cornette because you have a boring job, you come to understand just how pathetic Eric Bischoff is.
Eric Bischoff is one of the most financially retarded people in the history of the wrestling business. It's not just that all his businesses have failed, it's his personal life too. He didn't save or invest any of the money he made discussing the history of WCW on 83 Weeks. Now that he's out of content, he has to talk about modern wrestling which he does worse than just about every other major wrestling podcast. Corny and Dave may be on opposite sides of this argument, but both of them have actual content on their shows. Eric doesn't. His current business show and the previous one are total jokes. He started the last episode by announcing that he had been, "going through some tough times." and was going to be selling debt consolidation packages for fucking Conrad. So he has to argue with Dave. It's all he's got left to get people to tune into his podcasts. Dave's great week line here is a direct reference to Eric saying the deal would fall through and it'd be a "bad week for Dave Meltzer." A bunch of dead end sub-100 views podcasts on Youtube parroted the same headline around the same time, so this is Dave's revenge.
The quality of human being Eric Bischoff was in the attitude era is up for debate, but the quality of human being he is now is pretty pathetic. He has made millions upon millions of dollars in his lifetime and is selling mortgages for Conrad Thompson. Conrad is 43. Eric Bischoff is 69, fully qualified for Social Security, which he paid into at a millionaire rate for decades, and he STILL had to beg Conrad for a job. Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez talk and write for a living and their readers pay all their bills. Bischoff can't even pay his bills with mainstream advertisers.
