Ronda Rousey was one of the topics on Eric Bischoff’s 83 Weeks Podcast, and Bischoff made a bold claim when it came to Rousey, as Bischoff believes that Rousey is “overrated” in “the wrestling industry”:

“Eh, I think she’s….I don't want to say [she's] overrated, but I think in terms of the professional wrestling industry, she's overrated. Obviously very accomplished mixed martial artists, very accomplished in judo. Phenomenal athlete, but she never clicked for me in WWE despite a push from the gods. She got an amazing push, but there was something lacking with her, and she never clicked with me. I don't think she really clicked with the audience. Not long after she first arrived. I think the shine kind of wore off the star pretty quickly, and I never got the feeling that she was really serious about the industry.”

Bischoff continued:

“I just don't think she's as big a name as people sometimes think she is. I don't think she'd matter to a buyer. I don't think there's going to be a media buyer out there or a programming buyer out there, or an executive that's going, ‘Oh, wait a minute, you got Ronda Rousey. I wasn't too sure about this deal, but now I really want to do it.’ I don't see that.”
