Eric Bischoff's Bold Claims: Is AEW Really Where Careers Go to Die?

AEW Faces Criticism from Eric Bischoff

AEW has once again come under heavy fire from Eric Bischoff, the legendary WWE Hall Of Famer known for his outspoken views. Bischoff has consistently criticized Tony Khan’s organization, particularly its creative decisions and the treatment of both new and established talent.

The 69-year-old has previously expressed his discontent over the handling of stars like Mercedes Mone and the comparisons drawn between The Elite and the NWO.

Bischoff's Harsh Assessment

In a recent appearance on SHAK Wrestling, Bischoff did not hold back, suggesting that AEW is the place where careers go to die:

“That promotion is circling the toilet bowl. It’s because of the creative and the lack of leadership. There’s not a chance any one of those talents is going to be any more valuable as an asset 12 months from now than they are today or that they were 12 months ago. It’s the place where your career goes to die.”

He pointed out that even top stars like Will Ospreay are struggling to draw audiences, stating, “The supposed best in the world is a bust.”

Critique of AEW's Top Talent

Bischoff also criticized AEW for failing to maximize the potential of its biggest names:

“There’s just not one piece of talent there that is more valuable today than they were yesterday. Look at what’s happened to MJF. It was almost too hard to screw up.”

He went on to mention Jon Moxley, suggesting that AEW's current direction is pushing audiences away rather than attracting them.

AEW's Future and Upcoming Events

Despite Bischoff's negative outlook, some within AEW remain optimistic. A former World Champion believes that the company is on track for a huge event in 2025. AEW plans to host All In at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, following two successful shows at Wembley Stadium.

Rumors regarding ticket sales have hinted at poor performance, but Chris Jericho remains confident, stating that they will pack in 25,000 fans in Texas.
