WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff spoke with CanadaCasino.ca on a number of topics, including how former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon reached out to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship as he may be looking to invest in a new project.
Bischoff said, “Do I see at least a possibility on paper that Vince could invest as an investor in another wrestling organization? Yeah. Here’s what I know for a fact. I know for a fact that Vince is exploring opportunities in combat sports, at least as recently as about three months ago, so that leads me to believe that there is an interest, at least in doing something in this world of combat sports/sports entertainment. I know this because he was dealing with someone that I was dealing with at the same time, and I heard the dialogue, or portions of it, back and forth, so I know this to be true, and it was substantiated and confirmed by another third party, so that I know it is a fact, and that tells me if that’s a fact, then sure there’s a possibility. Vince is 78 years old. I don’t know what kind of condition he’s in right now. I know he’s gone through some back issues and stuff like that, but he probably feels like he’s 35. The fact that he’s 78 isn’t going to slow him down. Vince will work until the day he draws his last breath. He’s passionate. He loves to be busy. He loves a challenge, and Vince loves to fight. It was the Bareknuckle Fighting Championship (that he was talking with); it’s a fascinating business. David Feldman, the guy that runs it, he’s doing a fantastic job. He built it with his own money. He’s out trying to raise money now. I went to a couple of their events because I was talking about doing some business with them and I wanted to learn more about the organization, and I met with David and his son a couple of times and other people that work there. Terrific, terrific group of people. I didn’t feel like I could really contribute enough to make a difference in what they’re doing, so I chose not to get involved, but I still want to support them. I’ll do interviews with them. I’ll promote their shows. I love what they’re doing and respect the hell out of them, but my understanding is that Vince was also talking to them, and for whatever reason, they decided not to move forward. So that’s how I know he was looking at getting involved.”
