Former WWE SmackDown Executive Director Eric Bischoff had a strong reply when asked about current WWE storylines during an interview with Sports Keeda.
“Storylines suck right now. They suck. Storylines are getting worse and worse,” Bischoff emphatically stated. “This the one thing that I feel adamant about. You look at what WWE did at SmackDown (at) ThunderDome over the weekend. Such a phenomenal job from a production point of view.”
Bischoff, who was briefly in charge of SmackDown, is no longer with WWE. He most recently made a surprise appearance with All Elite Wrestling to appear on Dynamite. He has been a fan of WWE’s ThunderDome and believes their production is unmatched.
“I knew that WWE would knock the ThunderDome concept out of the park. Better than anybody, including the NBA. I knew they would – because they’re so good at that,” said Bischoff. “What they’re not good at is basic fundamental storytelling. They’re just not. I love them and I have many friends there, who I love dearly. It doesn’t change the fact that their storyline, the architecture, their approach to stories, their discipline with stories, sucks. Until somebody comes along and takes an honest look at storytelling and the structure of storytelling and the formulas that are used, it’s going to be hit or miss forever.”
