The WWE has one of the hottest feuds of the year on their hands, as WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is set to defend his strap against “The Destroyer” Samoa Joe at the Great Balls Of Fire pay-per-view (PPV) next month. The pair have been hyping up their match extremely well these past few weeks, as the numerous confrontations between Joe, Lesnar, and Paul Heyman have been the hottest parts of Monday Night RAW as of late.
Former WCW President Eric Bischoff is a huge fan of the program between “The Beast” and “The Destroyer,” and took to his podcast, Bischoff On Wrestling, to advocate for why Joe should go over on Lesnar at Great Balls Of Fire:
“When I’ve worked with people on the creative side of things I tell them, “This is more of an art than it is a science.” While there is a WWE formula what it really comes down to is that you’ve got to keep an open enough mind to feel what the audience is reacting to. If you get so committed to a certain direction and outcome and if you see SummerSlam at the end of your creative horizon. If you see the outcome that you have in mind for SummerSlam and come hell or high water you’re going to get to that destination what you are probably going to miss along the way is great opportunities.
“If you’re so focused on one outcome you don’t see the potential of others and perhaps. I hope for Joe’s sake this is one of those situations where regardless of whatever they thought they were going to do with Braun or Roman, not to take anything away from both of those guys because I am a big fan of both, if all of a sudden Samoa Joe comes from out of left field even if he was just designed to be a stepping stone but the audience is reacting to it then… damn son! Shift gears. Take that exit. See what’s on the other side of it because it might be better than the original destination.”
