Eric Bischoff Says Wrestling And Cable News ‘Are The Same’

Eric Bischoff just released a TEDx Talk titled “Why The News Media Is Stealing From The Pro Wrestling Playbook.” In it, the former WCW boss talks about how similar cable news is to professional wrestling. It’s 16 minutes long, and quite the interesting perspective.

“The first rule of producing professional wrestling is to know that when it comes to the audience, it doesn’t matter if they love or hate a wrestler,” explained Bischoff. “As long as they feel passionately one way or another, business will be good. Cable news is a similar art. The next time you’re watching the news and you find yourself getting angry, you will realize that is how they want you to feel. It’s not about informing you or making you think. Just like professional wrestling. This is a bipartisan phenomenon, and we need to react with awareness of this tactic.”
