Eric Bischoff wants TNA to succeedbut according to the Hall of Famer, theyve got some serious cleanup to do first. Following TNAs long-awaited debut episode on AMC, Bischoff didnt just point out what went wronghe offered direct advice on how to fix it.
On his 83 Weeks post-show broadcast, Bischoff made it clear the biggest issue wasnt the talentit was the shows overall structure and production. He believes the company is overreaching with too many poorly produced backstage promos and not enough emphasis on what actually works.
Bischoff said that many of the wrestlers arent yet strong enough on the mic to carry live segmentsand worse, the people producing those moments arent helping them succeed.
Instead of doubling down on weak material, Bischoff urged TNA to trim the fat and focus on in-ring action and match storytellingespecially while theyre still building trust with the TV audience.
One thing he did praise? How the main event was positioned and promoted throughout the night. Thats a model TNA should stick with, he saidbut they need to cut anything that doesnt elevate the show.
Bischoffs tone wasnt harshit was experienced. He knows what works and what doesnt in weekly wrestling television, and hes seen firsthand how poor formatting can derail even the most promising opportunities.
With strong talent and a platform like AMC, Bischoff believes TNA still has a shotbut only if they clean up the rough edges before fans start tuning out.
