Eric Bischoff's Irrational WWE Fear
What did Bisch fear most during his latest run?
What did Eric Bischoff fear most during his most recent WWE run? The sack? P*ssing off Vince McMahon with creative ideas the boss didn't like? Raising the ire of wrestling fans for failing to turn SmackDown into a watchable product?
Nope, none of those things.
Bisch feared the glances Vinnie Mac would take at his hands during crunch creative meetings most of all. This irrational bout of anxiety began when Bruce Prichard pestered Eric to get a pedicure and manicure on his finger and toenails.
It's true; Bischoff joked on his '83 Weeks' podcast that he'd start to panic when seeing McMahon look down at his nails. He wasn't sure if the Vin man was secretly judging his "raggedy-assed nails".
According to 'Easy E', both McMahon and Prichard regularly get work done on their nails, and Bischoff wondered if Vince was holding his poorly-maintained appendages against him. No, that isn't the reason why Eric left WWE, but it's still bloody funny to think he even gave this any thought.
Be warned, prospective WWE employees. Tell the boss you've booked a manicure during that first interview to earn some quick brownie points.
