Despite many in the wrestling world turning against him, Eric Bischoff continues to stand by his friend, Hulk Hogan.
WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff was a recent guest on Keepin’ It 100. When asked about Shelton Benjamin’s recent comments towards Hulk Hogan, Bischoff said he doesn’t want to characterize how they feel, but explains why he’s still proud to be Hogan’s friend.
“I don’t know how they feel,” Eric Bischoff said. “I don’t want to try to characterize how they feel, but clearly they’re not satisfied and they reacted accordingly … It’s not hard for me to address this, Konnan, because he’s my friend. What’s hard is because I know it doesn’t really matter what I say … I’m proud to be Hulk Hogan’s friend, and I know him, I’ve known him for almost 30 years.
“I’ve been with him in every conceivable situation. I’ve seen him go out of his way to make people, who might otherwise be surprised, that if it’s a minority, especially if you can tell for whatever reason the environment you’re in, or the fundraiser you’re participating in, if it’s for underprivileged kids especially of any persuasion or race, I’ve seen him.” [H/T: Wrestling Inc.]
