TNA X-Division Supervisor | Eric Bischoff
When I came here to TNA on January 4th, I instantly lost the reputation I had. The reputation of building an empire and competing with the WWE and beating them in ratings. Then my stint in WWE as the greatest General Manager in WWE according to the fans. But now, It is all gone simply because I joined the Hogan circus and did not think before doing so.
So, where do I go from here? Hogan, Nash, Hall, Flair and the “Band” are out of here but I am sticking around. Reason is that I need to rebuild my reputation. Now I thought about it for awhile and came to a conclusion, What better way of rebuilding my reputation then by rebuilding something else at the same time.
Eric looks around smiling as the fans at the Impact Zone gather at what he is getting at.
TNA X-Division Supervisor | Eric Bischoff
