Eric Bischoff Reacts To Vince McMahon\'s Sudden WWE Return


Former WCW president Eric Bischoff has reacted to news of Vince McMahon\'s WWE return.

As recently reported, Vince McMahon “I understand your question, but I think — now I haven’t read everything that’s come out in the last couple of hours. I’ve seen some of the bigger headlines and a couple other emails and stories.

\"But I think Vince is — his reasoning for coming back and making this move is to aggressively pursue a sale. So in that case, I don’t think that matters. Because if he sells the company, he’s not gonna be running it anymore. And whether things ran better with him or without him is an irrelevant, a moot point.

\"Because whoever buys it isn’t going to have Vince McMahon running it anyway. They’re gonna run it. So no, I think this is Vince’s exit strategy. And whether it’ll run better with him or without him isn’t really a discussion in an exit strategy like that.”

Today, via an SEC filing, it was confirmed that McMahon was back with the WWE\'s Board Of Directors, effective immediately. He\'s also returning alongside WWE co-Presidents Michelle Wilson and George Barrios.

They will be replacing now-former board members JoEllen Lyons Dillon, Jeffrey R. Speed, and Alan M. Wexler. It remains to be seen if McMahon\'s return will include a return to the creative side of the company as well.
