— The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that within the company and among the creative team, they have been told nothing about Eric Bischoff. Bischoff’s name has apparently “almost never” come up and nobody from outside the company ever brought up his name.

— Bruce Prichard is said to be the person who works with Eric Bischoff to acclimate him to the company and is reportedly the one who pushed the hardest for WWE to hire him back.
