Your thoughts on what Eric Bischoff wrote on his twitter?
"Seems like 90% of the audience loves what the loudest 10% hates. So who really matters?"
"The 10%er's can't get over the fact that they are irrelevant. Ratings don't lie. Research doesn't lie. IWC smarks need to get over it."
I kinda wonder why you would bash on anykind of, even possible, audience you have.. To me it makes more sense to try to get those 10% to wach Impact instead of telling them that they/we dont matter..

To add another sensible answer to the one Straight Edge Enigma posted, rather than the "Bischoff's an idiot" majority:
If anybody has been paying attention to what I write here they will see that I've been writing pretty much the same thing for the past couple of years or so. Specifically to the often-asked "why doesn't the WWE ever listen to us?" question.
While Bischoff is PROBABLY referring to the TNA-hate that's always been there, and more so now that he and Hogan are running things, he might also be referring to the IWC in general and it's overwhelmingly negative comments about the WWE, too.
Bischoff is absolutely correct. We, the IWC, can whine and piss and moan and complain until we're blue in the face and it won't make a bit of difference. We, the IWC, are just a few thousand know-it-alls who love to hear ourselves complain (and to see our complaints in public for all to see). We're just a few thousands. TNA gets 1-2 MILLION viewers every week. The WWE gets 11-12 MILLION viewers every week. If TNA and the WWE were as horrible as the IWC makes them out to be, those millions of viewers wouldn't be watching every week. So obviously, despite our complaints, TNA and the WWE are doing a lot of things right for those millions who keep watching.
I imagine Bischoff is generalizing because of the VERY limited space available on twitter. Not all members of the IWC are whining, complaining, know-it-all "smarks". But enough of us are to give us ALL a bad name. Some of us understand that we are a very vocal, very tiny, minority, and we don't take things personal; we try to discuss things rationally and in-perspective. But too many of us in the IWC take various storylines and characters (in both companies) as a personal affront, intended to offend us, and we stand up and shout in moral outrage (I'm not immune to that, myself). Bischoff is responding to THEM, I believe.
He's telling them to lighten up and watch the show or change the channel. He's telling them that yeah, a couple thousand people complain no matter what they do, but a million+ (11-12 million+ for the WWE) people DON'T complain on the internet and they keep watching the shows every week. The morally-outraged and offended really don't matter in the big picture, he's saying. He's basically telling them to get over themselves and stop taking things so personally, and try to enjoy the shows as the vast majority do. Or change the channel.
Or, in my case, DVR and the fast-forward button to skip past segments that "offend" me.

Eric Bischoff replaced into large, the two as an on-air heel character (and face too), and a innovative strategies interior the corporation so a strategies as working WCW interior the previous due 90s. i do no longer think of Eric gets adequate credit for the place he took WCW, particularly in 1997. That 365 days, WCW replaced into the favorite wrestling instruct to visual exhibit unit. Even long-time WWF followers have been making the transition, and have been watching WCW extra advantageous than they ever had earlier. the unique Outsiders attitude the place he delivered in corridor and Nash under the thought they nonetheless worked for the WWF and have been 'invading' WCW replaced into organic genius. he's likewise the only guy ever to take to Vince McMahon, to the element Vince replaced into particularly backed up against a wall, some thing that had in no way been completed earlier as much as that element. And Vince, by using that, had to get admire for Bischoff, because of the fact he ended up hiring him as a expertise. for somebody who did no longer strengthen up interior the wrestling corporation, Eric Bischoff replaced right into a hell of a strategies for awhile there. so a strategies as TNA is going, i'm taking a wait and notice strategies-set. optimistically, Bischoff, alongside with Hogan, can replace TNA for the extra effective.

Honestly, he probably goes onto his little laptop, comes on ANY type of IWC site, and sees that people want him and Hogan fired.
If the rating of your show go up, it has nothing to do with Bishoff, or Hogan. It's all about the wrestlers, not the pathetic management that bashes ten percent of it's audience.
No one loves him in that promotion, real life friends of mine that are into wrestling that aren't on the IWC want him out of the promotion, so it should be the other way around. 90% of the audience hates what the other 10% of the audience loves.

eric is an idiot. both him and hogan don't know much about wrestling. they are very stupid. im not even joking, they are. eric still thinks hogan sting and all the other old timers from w_e can draw ratings.
its not 10% that hate tna. about 90% of every wrestling fan hates it. i hate when people use smark as an insult, smarks dont always trash things. *shakes head*

I don't blame him for getting annoyed by the internet fans never stopping complaining about everything that goes on and pretending to know the business when they don't.
Those fans will continue to watch whatever he says, his words arn't going to change things. And it just happens that Bischoff is 100% right in what he's saying. the Internet fans do need to realise that they are the minority.
