Eric Bischoff stands up for his friends.
As noted, the former WCW Executive Vice President defended his longtime friend Hulk Hogan in a back-and-forth Twitter exchange with CM Punk.
On the latest edition of his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff spoke further about this issue, taking the AEW star to task for burying someone he doesn't even know.
Featured below is an excerpt from the episode where "Easy E" touches on this topic with his thoughts.
“A lot of the comments I made, the shots I took at CM Punk, is just because I think he’s a disrespectful guy. If you’re going to get yourself over, go out and get yourself over. But if you’re going to go out – and for example – in his very first promo, first thing you do is go out and talk about what a piece of shit Hulk Hogan is. Well, guess what, CM Punk doesn’t know Hulk Hogan. How does he know that? He doesn’t know that.
“If CM Punk would’ve worked with Hulk Hogan or knew Hulk Hogan and he had that opinion, that’s his opinion. But if you don’t even f***ing know somebody and you’re going to go out there and try to get yourself over in your very first interview by burying somebody who has contributed so much to this business, and is probably partly responsible for you even having the opportunity that you have to talk your s**t, I find that to be disrespectful."
