Former WCW star Scotty Riggs was recently interviewed by Wrestling Inc. to talk about several professional wrestling topics.

Here are the highlights:

Working with Eric Bischoff:

I never really crossed paths with Eric. Kevin Sullivan was the only guy I was dealing with because he was booking the talent. The only thing I spoke to Eric with in the five years I was there was twice about my contract, twice about meeting my wife at the time and there was one other thing I can’t think of.

Bischoff giving him a contract extension after reading on the dirt sheets that he was going to WWE:

Eric came up to me in catering and said he wanted to talk about my contract. He never talked to me anytime before. He said he wanted to offer a three-year deal with a pay raise each year. I finagled a little more in the last year…That’s basically the only conversation I ever had with Eric. He did nothing with the wrestling and he dealt more on the TV level. When it came to matches, we had a lot more leeway. We were underproduced and we put our matches together. The creative part was ours, ‘You have 15 minutes to do this…You have 7 minutes to do this.’ But you did everything else yourself.
