On the latest episode of his “Strictly Business” podcast, Eric Bischoff discussed his understanding of how AEW Rampage came about. Bischoff shared what he had heard about the origins of Rampage, suggesting it may have been a response to moving Dynamite from TNT to TBS. He said,

“Now, by the way, and I’m gonna be careful what I say here, because I don’t wanna put words in anybody’s mouth and upset them. But I was told how Rampage came to be. And it wasn’t what I was told, and the horse that I talked to is the horse. What I was told is, that was a consolation prize for moving from TNT to TBS… And again, I could have heard it wrong. But I was left with the impression that that was — I’m saying, ‘consolation prize,’ and that minimizes it. It was a compromise and an agreement, because Dynamite had been on TNT and was moving to TBS. TBS is not as strong. At least it wasn’t when I was there. Not as strong of an outlet as TNT. And that was kind of like the make-make-good if you will. ‘Well, here’s Friday night.’ I don’t know. I don’t wanna say too much more because then I’d be reading into it, and I don’t want to do that. It is what it is.”

Bischoff also gave his candid opinion on the current state of Rampage, describing it as ‘filler’ and expressing doubts about its ability to attract a significant audience. He stated,

“I think Rampage is kind of a mess. It’s filler at this point. You could probably run a rerun of Andy Mayberry on Friday night in that time slot and probably do 75% of the number they’re getting now. It’s just not really bringing in much of an audience.”
