Eric Bischoff believes AEW President Tony Khan should fire CM Punk following his comments at the post-AEW All Out media scrum on Sunday night.

During a special episode of “Bischoff Reacts” for Ad-Free Shows, Bischoff commented on the media scrum situation and the backstage issues in AEW, news on the situation being leaked to journalists, and more.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On the media scrum situation and backstage issues: “I did a horses**t job of handling this very type of thing, so I’m not one to give anybody advice. But I had a lot of the same issues of executives in my own company talking to the dirtsheets at that time, Meltzer primarily, leaking things that never should’ve leaked. Talent taking it upon themselves to leak certain things that really shouldn’t have leaked. So I get it, which is why I kinda empathize with CM Punk a little bit.”

On the backstage drama with news being leaked to journalists: “I’ve been there and I’ve done it [in WCW and TNA]… I know the impact, but once it gets to this point, if it’s truly a brush fire, you’re about ready to call in the National Guard, because that brush fire is about to start taking over and it’s gonna get out of control. Get to it.”

On he would do in Khan’s situation: “If this was totally just real life and nobody’s really working here? Fire CM Punk, like two minutes after he got done…[Punk] embarrassed Tony [Khan.] If it’s not a work, it’s not worth it.”

On his assertion that CM Punk has done ‘nothing’ for AEW’s growth: “Who knows? Maybe they’d have done just as good without him. From what I can measure, which is weekly ratings or audience growth or lack thereof? Nada.”
