Eric Bischoff Discusses The History Of Parents Battling Their Children In Pro Wrestling, Announces Ric Flair For His Podcast This Wednesday (Video)

Sports Illustrated’s 120 Sports video app has released it’s latest “Controversial Story Of The Week” segment featuring myself and former WCW President Eric Bischoff on their YouTube account.

This week Eric chats with me about the controversial ending to this past week’s RAW featuring Charlotte slapping her own father Ric Flair in the face before laying out Sasha Banks in front of him.

At the end of the video Eric announces that this Wednesday’s episode of his podcast Bischoff on Wrestling will feature Ric Flair as his special guest.

EB: This doesn’t seem controversial at all to me. I don’t know why people may think that it is. Those types of storylines: Father vs Son, or in this case, Father vs Daughter. They’ve existed for just about as long as you’ve had fathers and sons and fathers and daughters in the wrestling business. We saw it with Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon quite awhile back. I think we’ve probably seen some kind of variation of that with Vince and Shane. I’ve certainly had my own storyline with my own son Garrett Bischoff. Which was a lot of fun, by the way. I think it’s a natural story telling device. It’s human nature. We can all sort of relate to a conflict with our parents. When you put that conflict, that natural kind of conflict with your parents, inside the context of a pro wrestling ring or sports entertainment ring that’s a natural part of storytelling.
