Former World Championship Wrestling (WCW) President Eric Bischoff recently took to his podcast, Bischoff On Wrestling, to offer his thoughts on the SmackDown Live segment between Vince McMahon and Kevin Owens, in which “KO” busted “The Chairman Of The Board’s” forehead open with a headbutt. Here’s what he had to say:
If he thinks McMahon bladed for the segment: “If he really wanted to make that a really big moment he may have wanted to ensure that it was going to happen because sometimes it just doesn’t. You can do everything right and it just doesn’t happen. If his goal was to ensure it then I guess I could put on my tinfoil hat and dig into my conspiracy handbook and suggest that it’s a possibility. Knowing Vince the way I think I know him he probably just went out there and told Kevin to hit him hard enough to cut him open.”
What was going through Owens’ head during the segment: “Here is the worst part, if you don’t headbutt him hard enough and if he doesn’t get color then he’s gonna be hot. You could crack his skull headbutting him and if it achieves the goal and mission he’d probably get up and go, “Hey pal! Great job!” Give you a raise. If for whatever reason you hold back and it looks kind of weak… oh my God! That’s what Kevin was thinking about. I guarantee you that was going through his mind.”
