Eric Bischoff made an appearance on this week’s episode of WWE NXT.
During this week’s broadcast, Bischoff came out to the ring to cut a promo about his legacy in wrestling, mentioning his role in the creation of WCW Nitro and the formation of the nWo. The former WCW President then introduced Ridge Holland and Trick Williams, with Bischoff offering high praise for both men.
Bischoff said Ridge Holland reminded him of wrestlers like Dick The Bruiser, while he described Trick Williams as the “evolution” of the wrestling business, emphasizing Trick’s modern style and character.
Ridge would go on to throw some bars at Trick, calling him “soft,” which triggered a fiery response from Trick. The verbal sparring led to a physical altercation, with Trick attacking Ridge.
