Eric Bischoff Claims He Never Had Serious Talks with Vince McMahon About Monday Night Wars

Fans fondly remember the Monday Night Wars between WCW Nitro and WWE RAW as they competed in a battle for supremacy. Eric Bischoff was responsible for WCW beating WWE for 83 weeks in a row but now Bischoff has revealed that he and Vince McMahon never had a proper conversation about the Monday Night Wars.

While speaking on Wrestling Shoot Interviews, Eric Bischoff was asked if he ever received any kind of validation from Vince McMahon for his accomplishments during the Monday Night Wars.

Bischoff explained that during his time in WWE from 2002 to 2006 as an on-screen talent, he never had a serious talk with Vince McMahon about the past. While he worked with Vince in matches and segments, they never discussed anything from the Monday Night Wars or why Vince McMahon didn’t respond to Bischoff’s challenges during that time.

Even when Bischoff briefly worked as an executive in WWE, those conversations didn’t happen. Bischoff stated that their interactions stayed focused on the work at hand, not on the history between them.

“No, I think… no, not really. It’s funny, you know. I worked for Vince, so I was there for three or four years and worked, you know, creatively. When I say creatively, I mean as a performer.

From 2002 to 2006, I was there as a talent. And obviously, as a talent, there were times when I, you know, wrestled Vince McMahon or did something that looked like a wrestling match. There were a lot of things I did with Vince as a performer, but I never really had any kind of serious conversation with him.

We never sat down and said, ‘Hey, by the way, back in ’96, what were you thinking?’ Or, ‘I always wanted to ask—why the hell didn’t you show up when I challenged you to a fight? You should have done that.’ But we never had those types of conversations. And even when I was there for a couple of months as an executive, it was the same thing. We just never touched on that.”

Vince McMahon is also set to tackle the Monday Night Wars in one of his projects from his entertainment company. Regardless, Eric Bischoff made it clear he wasn’t really surprised McMahon never had a proper conversation with him about the Monday Night Wars and he has now made peace with that fact.
