Hall Of Famer DOESN'T Like The Rock's WWE Heel Turn

We at Real Rasslin have come to learn.

Eric Bischoff has admitted that this initial reaction to The Rock's WWE heel turn was simple: "Ew". The company Hall Of Famer Eric Bischoff questioned why Dwayne Johnson needed to go rogue on his 'Strictly Business' podcast, but he's willing to see how things play out.

Eric Bischoff wasn't sold on it though, and revealed he's "having a hard time" understanding why The Rock is heel in 2024. Given Dwayne Johnson's vast popularity in the entertainment industry, that's fair, but many agree The Rock going heel was the right call due to Cody Rhodes own involvement in the story.

WWE seemingly replacing Cody Rhodes with Rock vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 was met with significant backlash from fans before the promotion pivoted during a press event in Las Vegas. Eric Bischoff isn't convinced by any of this but noted it's important to "definitely give [Rocky] the benefit of the doubt and see what happens next.

Eric Bischoff has never been shy to shoot down storylines or angles he considers illogical via his podcasts. The ex-WCW boss and WWE GM have been very outspoken about Tony Khan and AEW in the past, for example.
