Eric Bischoff Believes WWE Is Too Big To Have Competition

Eric Bischoff’s opinion in the pro wrestling world has a lot of value simply due to his vast knowledge of the business. Sometimes Bischoff’s opinion might not be agreeable with fans and that is unlikely to change either.

AEW has come a long way since its debut back in 2019, as it has gone through various changes. While it has certainly grown, it is nowhere near the level that WWE is.

In fact, no pro wrestling company can be compared to the sheer size of WWE now. While speaking to Lucha Libre Online, Eric Bischoff stated that he believes WWE has become too big to have proper competition.

“If you talk about real competition, you have to define what that competition is. If you are just talking about competition in terms of revenues, good luck with that. WWE has such a head start, the company is so far upfront any new emerging company that it would take a generation to really catch up to the revenue. If you talk about the distribution of the product, the footprint of the brand, that too. It can happen, but it will defintiely take a lot of time.

The truth is, I got competitive with WWE when it was WWF and although they were clearly way out in front of WCW at the time, they weren’t so big that they were not vulnerable, and now they’ve become so big that while they still may be vulnerable, it’s going to take a hell of an effort to make them realize you’re there.”

We will have to wait and see whether AEW or any other pro wrestling company will end up becoming proper competition to WWE in the future or not.
