Eric Bischoff Comments on Not Currently Being Signed to Legends Deal with WWE

A recent episode of the 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff podcast featured WWE Hall of Famer and co-host Eric Bischoff giving his thoughts about his recent appearances in WWE and clarified that he is not under a Legends contract with the company.

“I did two WWE episodes. One on NXT and one for the WWE on the A&E Network. Then 48 hours later, I’m on an MLW show, who, by the way, was in a lawsuit with WWE… I don’t even have a legends agreement with WWE. I don’t have a written agreement with anybody. I don’t even have a handshake deal with anybody. If TNA were to call me and say. ‘Hey, we’re doing something. We’d like you to show up.’ If it fit into my schedule and it sounded fun, I’ll do it.”
