What Did FTR Member Say About ATM Eric?
FTR blast Eric Bischoff, the latest example of Tony Khan's Twitter tirade spreading beyond himself and Jinder Mahal. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler (aka FTR) appeared on Jeff Snyder's YouTube channel. Harwood took some time to discuss Eric Bischoff, blasting "Easy E" over some comments the former WCW executive recently made about AEW President Tony Khan. Here are some highlights from Dax's diatribe on Bischoff:
“I don’t think Tony Khan gets the credit that he deserves because he afforded a lot of people, a lot of jobs, and a lot of income. I mean, even if you look outside of AEW, you got all these old-time, miserable podcasters like Eric Bischoff and some of the others who make a living just by going on their podcasts and burying Tony and AEW when they know that AEW is a place where business is thriving.
Harwood praised Tony Khan for the opportunities AEWÂ has afforded to many people:
"Where AEW is a place that is helping change professional wrestling for the positive. So not only did Tony give us and hundreds of other people living. He’s afforded a living to some people who otherwise would be sitting miserable, bankrupt in their house.”
AEWÂ has provided wrestling fans with an alternative to the WWE. While the company isn't always successful at utilizing all its talent, it's also provided wrestlers a place to go to give their careers a second chance. It's also given younger wrestlers an alternative for finding work on a national stage besides the WWE.
Dax's tag team partner, Cash Wheeler, also weighed in on Bischoff's apparent anger:
“I think he’s really mad that Tony wouldn’t give him a job the few times he was there to collect the paycheck,” Cash Wheeler said with a laugh. “Here comes bankruptcy number four!”
