Eric Bischoff discussed Jim Cornette’s challenge Vince Russo in the latest episode of Bischoff on Wrestling.

On his reaction to the challenge: “My wife doesn’t know who Jim Cornette is. She’s never heard a Jim Cornette promo. Never listened to his show. She had no idea and she’s sitting next to me while I am listening to this podcast and I am laughing my ass off. She’s looking at me like I am nuts because I was enjoying the podcast that much. It was great. Classic. I love it.”
On if he’ll ever have Russo on the show: “Let’s go on record here: It will never, ever happen. It’s not because I am afraid of that piece of garbage. I have called his bullshit to his face, in front of talent and to management for companies he has worked for. I put him on the spot and made him cry in front of other people. Including TNA attorneys and management when I called his bullshit and caught him in a lie. I am not afraid of anybody and certainly not that piece of garbage. I would not give him two seconds of my time to allow the lies and delusional bullshit that I know will come out of his mouth to live on my show. It has nothing, trust me, to do with fear. He’s not that smart. It’s really easy to catch him in his own bullshit because he believes it. It’s just too easy and it’s never going to happen.”
