During a recent episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff praised the angle between Chris Jericho and Mike Tyson on AEW Dynamite. Here’s what he had to say:
They didn’t use him in a way that took anything away from anybody, they used him in a way that enhanced everybody that was associated with him. I don’t know why this would get such criticism online unless it’s kind of a pavlovian dirtsheet reading audience that feels a need to kind of hate on something. I liked it. I watched the clips of it, I watched the pull apart, I thought it was really, really well done. I don’t get where the criticism comes from or why.
Mike Tyson is an interesting cat. I’ve always been a fan of Mike Tyson, from when he was young. Obviously he ran into some personal issues as we all know about, but he has come out of that. I find him one of the more interesting sports characters in the last couple of decades.
