Eric Bischoff said there are many innocent people affected by the lawsuit, including close friends and family of the victim, as well as Vince McMahon’s family, including his son Shane, daughter Stephanie and wife Linda. He said he also includes those who work at the company that had nothing to do with the allegations. He even said that he had a fleeting moment wondering if it was time for him to step away from the wrestling business.
“These are people that I have known and worked with and I see how they have treated others and they have to endure this too. And the people that work there, there are so many people… that are there, that are all working hard every day and they are good family people, honest people who contribute to society and help others. I mean really good people that I know there personally who are affected by this.”
Bischoff and host Conrad Thompson discussed the idea of the name “McMahon” disappearing from WWE history, as well as McMahon’s grandchildren having to go to school and deal with the consequences of the lawsuit. Bischoff mentioned that Shane McMahon’s son, Declan, is a freshman in college. He said he would have to show up at school knowing that many of his classmates had read the gruesome details of the lawsuit.
“How do you react to that? How does a young man react to that?” he said. “And the granddaughters, it’s like, the name ‘McMahon,’ will be right there with Chris Benoit in a lot of people’s minds. It’ll be a name that won’t be mentioned, the way things look right now.”
