Former WCW President Eric Bischoff spoke to FOX News yesterday about the death of his long-time friend and ally, Hulk Hogan. Bischoff, who is set to serve as the Chief Media Officer of Real American Freestyle - a promotion he launched with Hogan - had the following to say:
"I'm in shock. It still hasn’t really set in. I learned this morning about Hulk’s passing ironically while watching FOX News. I'm in Las Vegas and scheduled to shoot some interviews with some of the wrestlers from Real American Freestyle. I got a text that something is going on and five minutes later, I was in my room and I'm watching Fox News and got the news. I've literally been on the phone or responding to texts and emails ever since. It hasn’t truly sunk in yet."
Bischoff talked about how Hulk Hogan was as a person:
"And it’s one of the things that’s most important to me now, I guess, at this point, is, I feel like I knew Terry Bollea. Terry Bollea was different than Hulk Hogan. Terry Bollea, the man, was kind, he was generous to a fault. He was loyal. He just had a big heart. And until you got to know Terry Bollea, you were overwhelmed with the character Hulk Hogan. And that was his life. But he really was one of the kindest, most generous people that I have ever met."
"He really was one of the kindest, most generous people that I've ever met."
