Eric Bischoff Reveals When He Will Step Away From Wrestling

WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff has opened up about his future in professional wrestling, making it clear that he has no definitive timeline for stepping away from the industry.

Speaking on the Developmentally Speaking podcast, Eric Bischoff was asked how long he planned to remain involved in wrestling. The former WCW President explained that as long as he still finds enjoyment in his work, he has no reason to stop.

“Well, you asked me how long I’m going to keep doing this… until it’s not fun, once I get to the point where I don’t enjoy it, then I’ll definitely stop. I like doing a podcast like this because I like doing a podcast with somebody who’s starting out, or eager about the business, or already doing it but wants to take that next step. If there’s anything I can do to help with that, I love doing it.”

Bischoff’s career in wrestling dates back to 1986, when he joined Verne Gagne’s AWA, initially working in sales before moving into an on-air role. He later became one of the most influential figures in the industry when he joined WCW, eventually rising to the position of company President in 1997.

Following WCW’s closure in 2001, Bischoff remained a key presence in wrestling, working with WWE, TNA, and AEW while also making appearances for various independent promotions.

Despite his long tenure in the industry, Bischoff reassured fans that retirement is not on the horizon, emphasising that as long as he enjoys what he does, he will continue to contribute to the business.
