WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff spoke with TVInsider.com on a number of topics, including his exact role at the MLW One-Shot event on Thursday, December 5th.
Bischoff said, “As far as the creativity and my fingerprints on the show, I’m thinking more of the production than storylines. Let’s be real, I’m not fluent in the backstory and talent and everything that has been going on in MLW, that will become important and clearly, Court and his team have a handle on that. What I want to do is whatever stories they have in place already, I’m focused on telling that story, what could I do from a production standpoint, for example, the way we treat the backstage interviews or the way we thread the story throughout the show, the way we build anticipation for the main event. Whatever is fundamental in professional wrestling, but often times overlooked, everyone is focused on the finish, the big spot in the match or the in-ring promo, all things that deserve attention, but in the process on focusing on the big things, producers have a tendency to lose sight of the little things that make the show flow and creates emotion and hold viewers’ interest and surprise them.”
