He’s back! In MLW.
The WWE Hall of Famer originally made his debut for the promotion in December and well, Bischoff was Bischoff. He booked some matches. Fired some people. And made his time in MLW official by signing a contract at the end of his appearance.
The press release for Bischoff’s return clearly states that the former WCW star will address the ONE-SHOT finale via satellite. As of now, Bischoff said that he doesn’t have any contract signed with any promotion, so his deal with MLW seems to be on a per appearance basis, though that’s speculation on my end as his contract status with the company remains unknown.
It may seem weird that Bischoff is working for MLW, but the WWE Hall of Famer was very transparent about his appearance. He’s not looking to do anything in wrestling unless it looks fun, and his time in MLW seemingly brings back memories of his Nitro/early RAW days.
"One of the things I told [MLW CEO] Court [Bauer] is that for me to do something in wrestling now, it has to be fun," Bischoff told FOX News Digital. "If it's not fun for me, if it's just a job, or if it's just a payday, I'm really not that interested. ... When it comes to putting my toe back in the water in wrestling, my first priority is that it has to be fun. If it's not fun, I'm not interested. So it all depends. I honestly, to be very transparent about it, I can't see it. I like my life just the way it is. I live in a beautiful part of the country out in the middle of nowhere where I can look out my back window and see Yellowstone National Park."
