Speaking on a recent episode of his “Strictly Business” podcast, former WCW President Eric Bischoff spoke about Cody Rhodes returning to WWE and how it may have come about vis-à-vis Vince McMahon.
Bischoff weighed in on how he thought Vince McMahon felt when Cody returned, stating that McMahon wanted Cody to prove him wrong.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Eric Bischoff on if Vince McMahon swallowed his pride by bringing back Cody Rhodes: “I don’t think Vince [McMahon] swallowed his pride at all. I don’t think that’s the way Vince is really built. I think my impression — or one of them because he’s a complex cat — of Vince is that he’s hoping somebody like Cody Rhodes comes along and proves him wrong. I think that’s why they were willing to pay Cody what they paid him to come back. Cody left there in one financial category and came back in an entirely different one, and I think the reason is Cody proved he was right.”
Eric Bischoff on what type of person Vince McMahon is: “I think Vince McMahon is the type of person who will stick to his guns, do things his way, until somebody shows him a better way to do it, and once that happens he embraces it as if it was his own. His ego is not bruised at all.”
