WWE recently let go of several Superstars from both NXT and the main roster. After the releases, some of the former wrestlers complained about their time in the company and now, Eric Bischoff has criticized those wrestlers for acting like whiners and behaving childishly.
While speaking on the 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff talked about the latest WWE talent releases and used the moment to criticize how some wrestlers handle getting let go.
Bischoff said WWE still needs to put out great talent, and if youre talented and dont do or say dumb things that hurt your chances with the people in charge, you have a better shot at returning. He explained that WWEs strength actually helps wrestlers find more opportunities, not fewer.
Bischoff blasted the released wrestlers who complained online or react emotionally to criticism, especially when its based on things said by Dave Meltzer. He said if wrestlers come off as emotional or unprofessional, they hurt their own careers.
Bischoff gave examples like Drew McIntyre, Rusev, and Aleister Black, who all got released but worked hard, kept quiet, and eventually got another shot. He believes if they had gone on angry rants about WWE, they probably wouldnt have been brought back.
Bischoff bluntly said certain talent need to stop whining and acting childish over opinions from people whove never actually worked in the wrestling business and just be professional.
This comes after reports noted that many of the NXT wrestlers who were released were seen by WWE as notworking hard during their training, which was quicklyshot down by Gigi Dolin. Cora Jade also reacted to the same report and claimed that she was body-shamed by her bosses and coworkers.
We have also reported that WWE viewed the main roster releases as dead weight. Nonetheless, Eric Bischoff made it clear no one should ruin their chances of getting back to WWE by complaining about the company, so well have to see if they will take his advice.
