- Bischoff says that he is proud about his success in WCW, but that he would not want to run another Wrestling Promotion. He doesnt feel like he could live up to what he did in WCW, and now that he works for WWE he actually likes a lot of the people he works with and it would be hard to have the take no prisoners mentality in making legit wrestling competition.
- Eric Bischoff says that his book is sort of a farewell from the wrestling business, and thanks Vince for giving him the chance to be a performer in his last few years with the wrestling business and for letting him end it the way it has.
- He is then asked about his other projects like Full Throttle and is asked whether or not he will continue with such projects. He says that he is in no position to retire and has many other business ventures like an entertainment company, an energy drink company, and several others.
- Bischoff decided to go to the WWE in 2002 after he had time to get over some of the negative feelings he had towards the business after what happened in WCW. He said that he missed performing, and decided to go and do that with the WWE. He also felt that it was a better way to end his career than with the downfall of WCW.
- He feels that Vince owning all of the WCW footage has already skewed what happened during the Monday Night Wars. He says that there are still a few people at WWE that would just as soon drive a stake through my heart as look at me He says that some of them still remember the problems that the WWE had during the time that WCW was dominating. He is also understanding of such feelings, but feels those feelings will prevent the true influence of WCW from being fully acknowledged. When talking about the influence of WCW, he says that WWE is still benefiting from it
- When asked about the ECW Rebirth and what was said about WCW during that time, he says that he was only playing a character and didnt really mind. He says that when he is taking the paychecks he gives 100% of my time effort and energy and support 100% of what they want to do When asked if WWE was surprised about him doing some of the things he did, Bischoff tells a story about how when he first signed with Vince and how Vince asked him if there was anything that he was uncomfortable about doing. He says that Im not comfortable moving to Connecticut, but other than that Im wide open
- He then talks about how the book is less cutthroat than people may expect. He feels that all the wrestling books hes read are the same in that its basically just wrestlers taking shots at other wrestlers that they worked with. He wanted to write a book about the complexity of the wrestling business, which has never been done before.
