Key Points

  • Eric Bischoff Expected More: Bischoff enjoyed WWE Elimination Chamber but felt there was something missing, expecting a bigger moment or surprise.
  • The Rock's Absence: Bischoff discussed rumors of The Rock appearing at the event, attributing his absence to likely scheduling conflicts and the challenges of travel.

Eric Bischoff liked the Elimination Chamber PPV but felt that something was missing from it.

With an announced attendance of 52,590, Elimination Chamber was one of the most successful international shows for WWE in recent times. Apart from the traditional Chamber matches, the show featured a number of very physical bouts alongside stars such as Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.

However, before the show there were rumors that we might see some surprises at the event which didn't end up happening. Bischoff talked about this on the latest episode of

 and said that he's excited for the direction of the WrestleMania 40 match card coming out of the PLE. Though he also mentioned that with everything going on, he expected something more from the show:

I love the direction it's going and some of the matchups that we have here, particularly after watching Elimination Chamber. I watched it in Detroit in my Hotel room at whatever time that was, six o'clock in the morning or four-thirty, whatever it was, I was up doing it. And I very much enjoyed the show.

I guess I expected a little bit more. Maybe because there's been so much buzz and so much chatter. Rock showing up, finish the story this, drama [that]. It just felt like there was something bigger that was going to happen at Elimination Chamber.

But I don't think the fact that...I think the show was a great show, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Really probably only 15 minutes in total throughout the whole show where I got a little bored with what I was watching. It was an entertaining show but just didn't have that big moment that I guess I was expecting for some reason.

Eric Bischoff On The Rock's Absence

Eric Bischoff also discussed the rumors of The Rock making an appearance on the show which didn't happen. He explained that the most likely reason for it was scheduling conflict and the gruelling travel:

I'm just guessing, I don't think it would be that. If I had to guess I would guess that there was a conflict in scheduling. I mean, by the time you get there and recover. You're talking about a two-and-a-half-day trip.

Maybe a little longer if you've got to get there, recuperate a little bit, let your body catch up to the time zone and be ready to get into the ring or performance at whatever level. So I would imagine there just might have been a scheduling conflict that didn't make that possible, Rock's got a lot going on recently.
