Eric Bischoff Claims Vince McMahon Spoke With BKFC
Eric Bischoff, a prominent figure in the professional wrestling industry, has stirred up considerable speculation with his recent revelation regarding Vince McMahon’s activities. In an interview with CanadaCasino.ca, Bischoff asserted that McMahon, who has largely remained out of the public eye since his resignation from WWE last year, has engaged in discussions with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). This claim has reignited rumors about McMahon’s potential involvement in a new venture.
Since stepping down from his leadership role in WWE, McMahon’s whereabouts and activities have been shrouded in mystery. While he has maintained a low profile, whispers of a potential new project have circulated within the wrestling and entertainment circles. Bischoff’s statement regarding McMahon’s communication with BKFC adds a concrete element to these speculations, suggesting that McMahon may be exploring opportunities outside the traditional wrestling landscape.
Bischoff said: “Do I see at least a possibility on paper that Vince could invest as an investor in another wrestling organization? Yeah. Here’s what I know for a fact. I know for a fact that Vince is exploring opportunities in combat sports, at least as recently as about three months ago, so that leads me to believe that there is an interest, at least in doing something in this world of combat sports/sports entertainment. I know this because he was dealing with someone that I was dealing with at the same time, and I heard the dialogue, or portions of it, back and forth, so I know this to be true, and it was substantiated and confirmed by another third party, so that I know it is a fact, and that tells me if that’s a fact, then sure there’s a possibility,” he said. “Vince is 78 years old. I don’t know what kind of condition he’s in right now. I know he’s gone through some back issues and stuff like that, but he probably feels like he’s 35. The fact that he’s 78 isn’t going to slow him down. Vince will work until the day he draws his last breath. He’s passionate. He loves to be busy. He loves a challenge, and Vince loves to fight. It was the Bareknuckle Fighting Championship (that he was talking with); it’s a fascinating business. David Feldman, the guy that runs it, he’s doing a fantastic job. He built it with his own money. He’s out trying to raise money now. I went to a couple of their events because I was talking about doing some business with them and I wanted to learn more about the organization, and I met with David and his son a couple of times and other people that work there. Terrific, terrific group of people. I didn’t feel like I could really contribute enough to make a difference in what they’re doing, so I chose not to get involved, but I still want to support them. I’ll do interviews with them. I’ll promote their shows. I love what they’re doing and respect the hell out of them, but my understanding is that Vince was also talking to them, and for whatever reason, they decided not to move forward. So that’s how I know he was looking at getting involved.“
