WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff took on an episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including if he hopes to see fellow WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg’s retirement match take place at WrestleMania 41.
Bischoff said, “I hope we do. I hope Bill gets that opportunity. I think with Triple H and the team in place at the helm, it’ll probably turn out to be pretty good, pretty entertaining. It sounds exciting. It sounds like a fun thing to be a part of WrestleMania, we’ll see. Bill’s also been known to step out over his skis a couple times in interviews. Maybe he’s kind of forcing the issue and planting seeds, like with a jackhammer planting seeds. But it sounds like — You know, and that setup between him and Gunther, that was a little too well executed to not be something that at least had been in discussion. So I expect to see it.”
On WWE returning to Toronto for Elimination Chamber 2025:
“That event’s going to be off the charts. The crowd in Toronto, Montreal, it’s — the crowd is just so intense. And that’s going to make whatever they do in the ring even better. You know the crowd, and the reaction from the crowd — when it comes to the people who are watching at home, who can’t be there, it adds a factor of about 50% or 80% to your enjoyment. If the crowd’s really into it, whatever it is you’re watching feels a whole lot more exciting than it might be if the crowd wasn’t as excited as they are. So it’ll be fun.”
