Pro wrestling legend Eric Bischoff made his Major League Wrestling debut on Thursday night, forming matches, confronting wrestlers and even firing someone.
Major League Wrestling founder Court Bauer told Fox News Digital at the beginning of the year he believed the company was in for a 'huge year.' It hardly gets bigger than Eric Bischoff. The former World Championship Wrestling executive who launched the 'Monday Night Wars' against WWE in the mid-1990s with the formation of the New World Order faction received 'one shot' to put his creative mind at work on Thursday night.
Much to the delight of the crowd at Melrose Ballroom in Queens, New York, he made an impact almost immediately. Matt Riddle and 'Filthy' Tom Lawlor came out to welcome Bischoff to MLW and poked the bear. Bischoff booked Riddle to go against Donovan Dijak in a match, putting Riddle’s title shot on the line. If Riddle lost, Dijak would receive the MLW World Heavyweight Championship shot at the company’s first premium live event of 2025, 'Kings of Colosseum,' against Satoshi Kojima.
Bischoff is hardly one to forget. Kane defeated Bobby Fish in a UWFI Rules match. As he celebrated the victory, Bischoff appeared on the screen and said it wouldn’t be a real return if he didn’t get a chance to fire somebody. Kane was in Bischoff’s crosshairs. He fired Kane. Security guards tried to get 'The Suplex Assassin,' but were met with suplex after suplex. Kane’s partner Mr. Thomas then calmed him down and escorted him out.
Bischoff previously told Fox News Digital he would only really think about returning if Bauer, the performers and the fans enjoyed it. The fans definitely left Queens wondering whether he will become a mainstay in the company. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
