Eric Bischoff Takes Creative Control at MLW Event

Eric Bischoff recently reflected on his decision to sign Lex Luger to WCW, revealing that he initially hesitated due to Luger's previous arrogance and ultimately offered him a significantly reduced contract of $150,000 after a $600,000 pay cut from WWE. At the MLW One-Shot event, Bischoff showcased his creative influence, including a dramatic segment where he 'fired' wrestler Alex Kane, which was later confirmed as part of a storyline. Following the success of the event, reports indicate that MLW plans to use Bischoff more frequently, as they were pleased with his contributions. Bischoff expressed a desire to ensure both the audience and talent enjoy their experiences while he brings his expertise to the promotion. Additionally, all proceeds from the MLW One-Shot event were donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to support military and first responders. His involvement appears to be both a personal enjoyment and a professional commitment to enhancing MLW's programming.
