How can we say that? How can we arrive at the conclusion that WWE is one way or another when, in fact, they\u2019re giving both sides of the equation great entertainment?<\/p>\n<p>If all they would do is book hardcore conservative country acts \u2014 yeah, okay. But that\u2019s not the case. They\u2019re not doing that.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know. I think people are trying to make more out of this because it\u2019s good commentary. It\u2019s good clickbait. It\u2019s great podcast conversation. I think it\u2019s just a lot of freaking cheap noise.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, cheap heat in wrestling \u2014 which is why it\u2019s considered cheap heat, because it\u2019s so freaking easy to get. It has no value. This is kind of like cheap content.<\/p>\n<p>And I think the internet wrestling community is creating it because now they have something new to fight about, make fun of each other over, and accuse each other of horrific things. Now we can do that and talk about wrestling at the same time. That\u2019s what all this is.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s a sad commentary, is what it really is.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While speaking on his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff responded to internet wrestling fans calling WWE&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300419,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,134952],"class_list":{"0":"post-476379","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-eric-bischoff"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476379\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
