On September 14 and October 1, PWTorch editor Wade Keller interviewed former WCW President Eric Bischoff an exclusive multi-hour "Torch Talk" interview covering a variety of controversial subjects from the Monday Night War period, his days on WWE TV, his 2006 autobiography, and the "Rise & Fall of WCW" DVD.

The following is the latest installment of part eight of the exclusive five-hour "Torch Talk" with former WCW President Eric Bischoff from October 1 - before Bischoff joined TNA and was just starting negotiations with TNA at the time. Part 8 of our daily Q&As will be published here at PWTorch.com, which is unprecedented with our VIP-exclusive "Torch Talk" series.

To both READ and LISTEN to the entire interview, you'll want to become a VIP member, which also includes instant access to our newsmaking multi-hour in-depth hard-hitting "Torch Talks" with other top WCW players such as Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, X-Pac, Vince Russo, Ed Ferrara, Hulk Hogan, Goldberg, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, and others (ALL AVAILABLE AT THIS LINK FOR VIP MEMBERS). To subscribe right now and be the first to read the entire Bischoff "Torch Talk" and have VIP-only access to the audio, click here. The first audio segment and transcript installment is now available for VIP members.

We present today's latest question and answer from Part 8. Tune in tomorrow for the next series of Q&A's from the Eric Bischoff Torch Talk.


Wade Keller: If it weren't as tough to give up things that were going well (to join TNA), do you ever think about what you would do? Do you ever think, "Well, if the circumstances were such, this might be what I'd do in this marketplace?"

Eric Bischoff: Not really. A, because I don't watch it. B, because I just don't think about it. I don't watch WWE, either. It's not because I don't like it. Well, it's kind of because I don't like it. It's just that it's so boring I can almost tell you what's going to happen 30 seconds before it happens. I'm not just talking about the matches, I'm talking about the whole storyline arc of the show. But, I don't want to say this the wrong way. It's not a "been there, done that" syndrome, although that's kind of part of it. It's that unless it's really creatively challenging and stimulating, I just don't think about it. Since I'm not in it and I don't really watch it, it's just not something that I think about. I've probably thought more about wrestling in the last two interviews I've done with you than I have in the last two years.

Keller: Fair enough. That makes sense. You mentioned Vince Russo earlier. You said he conned his way into WCW. I made a note here to have you elaborate on that. What does that mean he conned himself into WCW?
