During the latest episode of the 83 Weeks Podcast, Eric Bischoff gave his thoughts on the talent cuts WWE has made in the last two years.
In 2021, the company has cut 80 wrestlers while they cite budget cuts as the reason.
“The rest of the talent, here’s my impression from way outside the lines and being on the outside looking in: I think this is just a market correction,” Bischoff said. “I think WWE for whatever reason stacked a lot of talent, and I’m talking about developmental talent. These are not all big name, well established characters or personalities in WWE, a lot of these people I’ve never heard of before. Only because they haven’t been prominent on RAW or SmackDown. I think that for whatever reason the strategy over the last five or six years with NXT is being re-evaluated and as a result there’s just a lot of talent that’s looking for work today. That’s just a market correction.”
