Eric Bischoff

Eric Bischoff recently spoke with Jack Snodgrass for Pop Culture WWE while promoting his upcoming appearance at Detroit’s Astronomicon. During the interview, Bischoff shot down a long rumored story that Mark Calaway took a meeting with WCW to have leverage over Vince McMahon to stop playing the Undertaker character:

“See, that’s another one of those internet wrestling rumors that continues to survive, what is it now, 18, 19 years later? Nothing could be further from the truth. There was never one syllable of conversation between anybody that mattered. Maybe some of the lower level guys on the production, maybe some freelancers said, ‘Wow, wouldn’t it be cool if the Undertaker came over?’

Or maybe there was some new assignees over at the Power Plant where some other people that really weren’t very significant who had some indirect association with the company that speculated about how cool it would be. There was never any meaningful conversation with anybody that mattered at any level.”
