Eric Bischoff Advocates for Episodic Storytelling in Wrestling
Eric Bischoff has voiced his concerns regarding the storytelling in contemporary professional wrestling, cautioning AEW against prioritizing wrestling over narrative. He has praised Triple H and Bruce Prichard for their efforts in regaining WWE fans after Vince McMahon's storytelling missteps.
Bischoff argues that wrestling should adopt a soap opera-like approach to enhance its episodic nature. He believes that successful wrestling should create anticipation for future episodes, making viewers eager to see how stories unfold. He noted that wrestling cannot solely rely on matches without a storyline.
He reflected on how episodic storytelling contributed to the success of WCW during his tenure, describing it as a unique approach at the time. While acknowledging that some fans appreciate matches without significant storylines, he considers this perspective to be held by a minority.
