Eric Bischoff supports WWE’s decision to cancel their Day 1 PPV.
WWE has canceled the January 1st event and replaced it with a live event a few days earlier.
Bischoff addressed the issue in the most recent episode of his podcast, Strictly Business on AdFreeShows.com:
“Absolutely love it, I think it’s a great move,” Bischoff said of the reported decision to put on less Premium Live Events. Gimmick matches for the sake of gimmick matches … Here lies a man who hates gimmick matches/pay-per-views because it’s just a cheap way out. I’ve said this for years, like a long time, maybe a decade or two, gimmick matches are nothing more than someone telling the world they don’t know how to write a story.”
