WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff took to his Strictly Business podcast, where he talked about a variety of topics such as how the WCW needed to shut down their live event business because the fans were not interested to watch their shows live, so he decided that the company should just put all of their resources into television and focus on their television product until such time that it becomes so successful that the fans would want to watch it live.
Eric Bischoff said:
“My argument, although unoriginal as it was, was if you build it, they will come.” “Let’s quit trying to convince people to come when they’re not interested in our television show. Let’s put all of our resources into television, shut down the live events, focus on a television product until such time the television product becomes so successful that people are going to want to go see a version of it live.”
