Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff said he respects the OTC1 a lot and his opinion of his in-ring character has nothing to do with the respect he has for him.

However, Bischoff said he is bored with him since there is nothing fresh from his character.

“I’m bored with him. I don’t see anything new from him. I don’t see a character evolving…We’re not seeing any evolution. We’re seeing maintenance, and it’s good. It’s definitely working from a financial perspective, so there’s nothing wrong with it. There’s just nothing compelling about it,” he said.

Bischoff compared Roman Reigns’ character work to Ric Flair, saying the Nature Boy wrestled the same match always and didn’t have to change.

“Ric’s character never changed. Didn’t have to. And I think that’s where Roman is. But that doesn’t mean that he’s number one, not valuable, and number two, it doesn’t mean that I can’t be bored with it. Those two things are not mutually exclusive,” he added.

Eric Bischoff warns WWE about Roman Reigns and The Bloodline

During a session on his podcast last week, Eric Bischoff shared his view on the Bloodline storyline taking center stage once again.

Bischoff praised the original story, which had the fans hooked, but warned WWE of making the same mistake he did with the nWo.

He said the nWo was diluted when they added many members and had smaller groups emerge from it. Bischoff said WWE needs to come up with fresh ideas for The Bloodline and not ride it till it dies.

The former WCW president said that if the company did this, the fans won’t remember Roman Reigns and his faction too fondly down the line.
