Eric Bischoff addresses what WWE President Nick Khan said about online criticism towards the company

While speaking on the What’s Your Story With Stephanie McMahon podcast, WWE President Nick Khan addressed online criticism of WWE by stating the following…

“We train our creative team to ignore the noise. Trust the data. Trust your instincts. Don’t let Twitter or Reddit or whatever throw you off your game.”

While speaking on his podcast, WWE Eric Bischoff addressed Khan’s comments…

“It’s funny. You know, I’ve been saying the same thing for years. Take out Twitter, insert dirt sheets. You know, it’s the same thing. It’s the same mentality,” Bischoff said. “The reason they’re so upset about Nick Khan saying, ‘Don’t book for these morons, they’re just a small group of people that make a lot of freaking noise,’ the reason that upsets them so much is because they desperately believe their identity as human beings is tied directly to the amount of influence they have on social media. And the very idea that they’re just a bunch of nerds screaming in the darkness and their voices don’t really matter scares them to death, because if they don’t have that, they don’t have anything.”

“I used to go so far as to tell people internally, ‘Hey, if guys like Dave Meltzer are burying you, you know you’re on the right track. Anytime you read something in Dave Meltzer’s sheet, think about doing the exact opposite. You’ll be close.’ I mean, I’ve been saying this for decades, so it’s really fun to see someone of Nick Khan’s level coming out and essentially taking the same position, because it’s the accurate one.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
