Eric Bischoff commented on Dolph Ziggler winning the NXT Championship and what is expectations are for Bron Breakker moving on to the WWE main roster during the latest episode of 83 Weeks.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Eric Bischoff on Dolph Ziggler winning the NXT title: “People have been asking me whenever I do an interview, ‘If you were gonna create the nWo today, who would you put in the nWo?’ Dolph Ziggler has always been at the top of my list. I think he’s one of the most underrated talents in WWE. I’m not invested in Dolph personally or any other way. But when I see this cat, he reminds me so much of Kurt Angle in the sense that he’s got so much range. He can be a comedic, pain in the ass, smarmy heel or he can be a legitimate badass killer. He can do one one night and the other the next night, and there’s not a lot of people that have that kind of range. He looks great, he’s got so much. Who knows, this could be a breath of fresh air for his career just making that move and getting out of the pack. You’re on that treadmill, you’re in that system, you’re on that roster and then all of a sudden you get a chance to break away and shine and maybe have some creative flexibility and freedom that you don’t have on RAW or SmackDown. Maybe that could be it and he could get a big shot in the arm out of this. I hope that’s the case because he’s an amazing talent.”
On his expectations for Bron Breakker on the WWE main roster: “I am almost giddy with excitement. Part of it is because of my relationship with Rick. Rick and I don’t talk hardly at all, we see each other on the road, great. I’m not a phone guy and neither is he, so we just don’t communicate. Rick is one of my favorite people I’ve ever worked with on a completely different level….now to see Rick’s son climbing that ladder and making it onto the main roster. I guess what I’m trying to say in my own way is, I’m living vicariously through what I know has got to be a really satisfying part of Rick’s life right now watching his son break into the business. As far as [Bron], I think he’s an amazing talent. I think there’s a lot to look forward to.”
