During the latest edition of his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff commented on why he thinks a rematch between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam is a great idea.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Eric Bischoff on WWE doing another Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar match and why he likes the idea: “I can’t wait to see it. I know they’ve wrestled seven times or whatever it is – seven, eight, 20, whatever. It doesn’t matter. Remember when Brock came back most recently, when it was first announced that Brock was coming back? I think it was on 83 Weeks, I said, ‘You know what, it’s not gonna do anything for me. If he’s gonna come back as the same old Brock – the man killer, one dimensional, no promos, go out and eat people and spit them out, go home – it’s not gonna do a thing for me.’ We’ve seen that guy. A lot of him. This is not that guy. This Brock Lesnar is a completely different Brock Lesnar in many respects. He’s a different character. He’s having more fun when he goes out there. He’s not relying on Paul [Heyman]. He’s cutting a lot of his own promos. He’s coming to the ring looking and feeling like the Brock Lesnar that I know. I’m not suggested I know him real well, but he’s a farmer cowboy. He’s coming out there with a different vibe. So yes, we’ve seen the match before, but we haven’t seen this character before. So let’s just wait and see. I’m not against it. I think it’s awesome.”
On WWE’s current injury situation: “Look, WWE, they have a deeper bench than we realize. There’s a lot of talent in WWE. Given the opportunity and support, and a little bit of time and patience, [there are talent] who could step in and play big time. If I’m running WWE, I’m really, really glad Brock is there. I’m looking forward to it personally.”
