Eric Bischoff on The New Day's WWE departure, speaking on 83 Weeks: "I agree with everything that you just said, which is probably the reason why their time was essentially up. It had played itself out. The wrestling community audience can virtue signal their asses off. Oh my gosh, they've been with the company forever. They were so loyal. And I'm not discounting any of that, by the way, because all of it is true, but none of it guarantees you a job for life. What the hell?" Bischoff also offered a broader theory on why tag team wrestling faces unique financial pressure under TKO ownership: "If you're going to commit to a tag team now, you're committing to twice the labor costs for talent just to have a tag team division. From a mathematical point of view, it doesn't work. The more TKO looks at the WWE as a property, the more you're going to see those kinds of changes." #TheNewDay #EricBischoff #WWE #TKO #ProWrestling
