Bischoff’s Comments on Not Being Notified

During the interview, Bischoff discussed the surprise of seeing himself in the documentary without prior notice. “I didn’t know. Isn’t that crazy? They never asked me to be part of that Netflix production. They never called and asked,” Bischoff said. He explained that the footage used in the series originated from an interview related to the NWO, a topic that dovetailed with McMahon’s influence in the wrestling world. Despite the lack of payment or notification, Bischoff stated, “I’m grateful…they must have felt like what they had fit perfectly.”

Bischoff believes McMahon’s drive for control and influence may be a factor in his recent business moves. He noted that, while McMahon has the means to retire comfortably, he seems intent on remaining active in the entertainment world. “It’s pride, it’s ego…he’s a control freak,” Bischoff commented, suggesting that McMahon’s relentless ambition keeps him from fully stepping back.
