And a tip of the hat to @JRsBBQ for the @83Weeks nod last night on @AEWonTNT. Proving once again that he, like no one else, can make a shameless plug sound exciting as hell!

Declaring @orangecassidy the winner of that debate was just…2Sweet! He ate your lunch and stole your bike with his global warming stance. Get over it. https://t.co/771492e8fA

ORIGINAL: Former WCW Head and WWE Smackdown Executive Director Eric Bischoff made his AEW debut last night on Dynamite. He appeared as the moderator for the “debate” between Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy ahead of their upcoming rematch. It was later reported by PWInsider that Bischoff’s appearance was a “one-time thing.” Bischoff himself later spoke to Wrestlezone’s Bill Pritchard, commenting that his appearance was just a “cameo.”
Wrestlezone reports that when asked about his AEW status, Bischoff confirmed that his appearance was a “one-time deal” and only a “cameo” role. He responded on his appearance, “No. It was a cameo, and it made sense in that particular scene between Orange Cassidy and Chris Jericho.”
The Dynamite episode featuring Bischoff’s appearance drew AEW’s highest viewership since March 4. Additionally, it also drew the highest ratings for Dynamite since February 5.
Earlier today, Bischoff responded to a tweet by the official TNT account noting, “Eric Bischoff is on TNT. That’s it. That’s the tweet.” He replied, “And glad to be back. Miss me?” You can view that exchange below.
