Eric Bischoff Thinks Vince McMahon “Is Going To Be Right There With Chris Benoit In The Minds Of A Lot Of People”

Vince McMahon made the decision to step down from his positions at WWE and TKO Group Holdings following the recent lawsuit filed against him by a former WWE employee.

In a recent episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff talked about the impact of these allegations and even brought up Chris Benoit, who was removed from WWE history due to his involvement in a double murder-suicide case in 2007.

“The name McMahon I think, he’s gonna be right there with Chris Benoit in the minds of a lot of people as a name not to be mentioned the way things look at this point. I fought with Vince, I battled with him, I did everything I could to undermine him. But at the end of it all, I respected the guy that beat my ass because that’s what fighters do. If somebody’s good enough to beat me in something you’ve got to respect their abilities. And even for me this is difficult, I can’t even imagine what it’s like for [McMahon’s] kids and the grandkids. It’s just disgusting.”

“You talk about the name, you go into Vince’s office and he’s got pictures of his father and his grandfather and newspaper articles of things his father accomplished and his grandfather accomplished. Gone, dark closet, stick it in a box and hide it. Nobody wants to be reminded anymore. It wasn’t just a name, they wiped Vince McMahon off the WWE and TKO corporate websites. He didn’t exist starting today and that’s not gonna change.”
