Aprés avoir été plutôt sarcastique et méchant à l’endroit de Tony Khan et de la AEW depuis quelques semaines, Eric Bischoff a adopté un ton beaucoup plus positif en évoquant la rivalité entre CM Punk et Eddie Kingston.
Sur son podcast 83 Weeks, Bischoff espère que ces deux lutteurs continueront de s’affronter après leur match à Full Gear.
Bischoff aurait aimé que les fans comprennent un peu mieux pourquoi les deux lutteurs en viennent aux coups, mais il a adoré leurs promos à Rampage vendredi dernier, en plus d’aimer leur récent segment à Dynamite.
Bischoff en profite pour dire qu’il aime la AEW, mais qu’il se permet de critiquer la compagnie lorsqu’il le ressent.
“Absolutely loved it. It was fun watching Dynamite with [Conrad] in Huntsville because first of all, all the things that are going on and the narrative that’s been going back and forth on social media because of the comments that Tony made and I responded too and it heated everything up. Again, I want to reiterate to all the people that are out there, I’m not sh**ing on AEW. I reacted to something that I found offensive and uninformed and as I do, it’s just a part of my nature. If somebody says something that I find unflattering or critical but it’s uninformed I will react on my platform, that’s just how it goes. I’m very supportive of AEW, when we watched that scene as it was launched between Eddie and Punk and [Conrad] told me the backstory, if they tell that story and that’s the beginning of act one and we’re building upon that backstory this could be a phenomenal storyline. And, they did, I watched it. I watched that clip between Eddie and Punk and I thought it was just magnificent. I am a huge Eddie Kingston fan as a result of seeing that promo.”
Bischoff soutient que la promo de Kingston est authentique, expliquant à merveille ses motivations. Il ajoute qu’une histoire doit être bien structurée du début à la fin, en présentant bien les personnages en question.
“That promo was real, it defined Eddie’s position clearly, now I understand the motivation. You often hear me talk about story, story, story, structure, but when you look at a story, there’s a beginning and the beginning has to serve a couple different purposes. You have to familiarize your audience with the characters in that story, in this case the audience is already familiar with the characters in that story but you have to understand the motivation”
Bischoff mentionne que Kingston est le meilleur lutteur au niveau des promos, utilisant très bien les émotions et l’intensité. Il ajoute que Kingston n’a pas besoin de scripts pour briller, soutenant que même The Rock n’aurait pas fait mieux.
“On Wednesday it didn’t happen but [on Rampage] it did and I don’t think they could’ve done a better job. I don’t think it’s possible to do a better job, humanly possible for any talent in any organization to do a better job than Eddie Kingston did in that promo because it was real. It came from his heart, he probably didn’t even need to write it down. I’m sure he didn’t need some writer, I’m not knocking writers but unless that writer is really inside your soul or head, no writer can write for you when you feel as passionate as Eddie did in that promo. You can’t artificially create that level of true emotion and intensity, it has to be real and I don’t think anybody could deliver it better. I don’t think The Rock would have delivered it better. I don’t think anybody in the industry right now could’ve done a better job of that promo than Eddie Kingston.”
Il espère donc que la AEW donnera l’occasion aux deux lutteurs de continuer leur histoire pendant longtemps.
“I’m sure someone is going to take this as a negative comment and it’s not, I only wish Eddie and Punk had more time to build that story because I think the potential is there for that to be a huge story,” Bischoff said. “It’s a good story and it could’ve been a better story had it had more time to build.”
