WWE’s Executive Director of SmackDown Live Eric Bischoff commented on the news that broke last week about his new role with the WWE on the latest 83 Weeks podcast, noting that he was overwhelmed by the positive response that he has received since the announcement and said that it is the biggest opportunity that he has ever had in the wrestling industry.

Bischoff revealed that he will be heading to Connecticut on a full-time basis next week ad called the job a “deep dive” and a “23/7 job”. Bischoff also revealed that the 83 Weeks podcast will continue, to which co-host Conrad Thompson noted that the show may take a week off here and there when necessary, but that the live shows will come to an end for now.

Bischoff thanked Conrad for helping him to launch the podcast, noting that it gave him a new perspective and renewed energy about wrestling and that the show will continue to be based on nostalgia and will not talk about the current wrestling product.
