"Arrr matey, ol' Eric Bischoff be spillin' the beans on a grand scheme that sank faster than Davy Jones’ locker!"
2024-11-18
Arrr, matey! Legend o’ the ring, Eric Bischoff, spun a yarn fer Fox News Digital, ‘bout a tale o’ wrestling that never set sail while he roamed the high seas o’ World Championship Wrestling. Aye, sometimes even the fiercest buccaneers be denied their grand adventures! Har har!
Picture this: in the year of our Lord, 1998, our mate Eric, a pilot of high-flyin’ contraptions, thought to himself, “What if I faked me own demise?” Aye, he conjured a scheme to “crash” his vessel in Mexican airspace, leavin’ the world to believe he’d met his watery grave! And then, like a ghostly apparition, he’d rise at Halloween Havoc in Las Vegas! A grand spectacle, indeed!
But alas, when he laid this madcap tale before the Turner Sports captain, Harvey Schiller, the man deemed it bonkers! “Ye be out of yer mind!” he bellowed, and thus the plan sank faster than a ship with a hole in its hull! Yet, Eric still dreams of that ghostly gimmick, though it never came to pass.
Now, this swashbuckler be back in the creative seas, runnin’ Major League Wrestling’s One Show, and what be he doin’? Donatin’ his treasure to the Tunnels to Towers Foundation! Aye, what a noble pirate he be!
