WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff recently spoke with Jon Chuckery on a number of topics such as how he thinks Cody Rhodes losing at last month's WWE WrestleMania 39 was absolutely the right decision if they have a longterm plan for The American Nightmare to chase the championship, which is currently held by "The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns and eventually have a storybook ending.
Eric Bischoff said:
“I think it’s absolutely the right decision. Having Cody chase that title, yes. If, giant ‘if’ fluorescent colors, fireworks, or anything else you can think of to draw attention to the word ‘if’ in this context; if they have a plan.” “Look at what they did with The Bloodline storyline. That was a phenomenal storyline from a storyteller’s point of view. The character development, the art of each of the characters, the layers in the story, the defined arc within that story, all of it was as good as anything I’ve ever seen in professional wrestling. From a technical point of view. I thought it was amazing, really amazing.”
Eric Bischoff also spoke about how if Cody Rhodes does not have a storybook ending, then it just ends up becoming a lost opportunity.
Eric Bischoff said:
“Whoever that team was, if they can replicate anything close to that level of success over the next 12 months, that is absolutely the best decision. On the other hand, if they don’t have a really great plan, then it could be a lost opportunity, but we won’t know until we know.”
