According to a report from RingSideNews on Saturday, Eric Bischoff has learned over the years that people behind the scenes with “creative control” are a problem. That was a significant problem for WCW during Bischoff’s tenure and it led to a lot of problems.

It’s for that reason, Eric doesn’t want to “oversee” Shane McMahon and ruffled feathers backstage. Shane is one of the top heels on SmackDown Live and WWE programming at the moment. Therefore, the situation between Bischoff and Shane is really interesting.
