Eric Bischoff’s Take on AEW’s WWE Signings and TNA Similarities

Published on

Assessing the Impact of High-Profile Wrestler Acquisitions


Summary

– Eric Bischoff questions the effectiveness of AEW signing Mercedes Mone, a former WWE star.

– He draws parallels between AEW’s strategy and TNA’s historical approach.

– Bischoff argues that such signings have yet to advance AEW’s business growth significantly.

Eric Bischoff recently shared his insights on All Elite Wrestling’s (AEW) strategy of signing former WWE talents. His comments, particularly about the potential signing of Mercedes Mone (formerly Sasha Banks in WWE), suggest skepticism about the long-term benefits for AEW. Bischoff’s perspective, aired on the “83 Weeks” podcast, compares AEW’s current approach and the trajectory of TNA (Total Nonstop Action Wrestling), highlighting similar challenges both promotions face.

Bischoff points out that despite AEW bringing in several high-profile WWE stars, there has yet to be a notable increase in television ratings or ticket sales. This observation leads to a broader discussion about the effectiveness of such signings. Bischoff recalls his experience with TNA, where the company still needs to achieve substantial business growth despite the influx of ex-WWE talents. He suggests that AEW might be encountering a similar situation, having big names but needing to utilize them effectively to expand their business.

This critique raises important questions about the long-term impact of signing former WWE stars on a wrestling promotion’s growth and audience expansion. While these signings can create initial excitement, Bischoff argues they sometimes translate into something other than sustained success.
