Eric Bischoff Criticizes WWE Unreal – Eric Bischoff has shared strong opinions about WWE Unreal Season 2, describing the reality-style series as uncomfortable and misleading when it comes to showing how WWE’s creative process actually works.

Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff explained that he has not watched the entire season. However, he said he has seen enough reactions online and spoken directly with people who appeared on camera to form a clear opinion. According to Bischoff, the show’s concept does not accurately reflect the reality of backstage creative meetings.

“I just don’t have time to watch it. It’s not that I’m not interested… But I’ve seen a lot of the comments, and I’ve talked to some of the people that are involved on-camera in that show — and it’s an awkward show.”

Bischoff questioned the idea that wrestlers and executives can simply ignore cameras placed in the room. He argued that the presence of cameras changes how people think, speak, and react during sensitive discussions.

“They’ll tell you, ‘Look, these cameras are going to be up here in the corner, and you’ll forget all about them…’ And you don’t forget those cameras are on. You’re second-guessing everything that you’re saying… or you’re not sure you should say it because there’s cameras rolling.”

He also pointed out the role editing plays in shaping the final product. Bischoff suggested that comments made during creative meetings can be taken out of context to manufacture tension, referencing a recent moment involving Road Dogg.

“You’ve got editors whose job it is to try to create and manage conflict and drama throughout a show. So, they edit accordingly. That just takes a comment like Road Dogg made and makes it sound even more out of context.”

From his experience as a producer, Bischoff said creative discussions are often messy and emotional. He explained that people sometimes exaggerate or speak loosely to make a point, which does not translate well when isolated on camera.

“When I’m in that creative zone… I’ll say things to exaggerate a point that if I said it out in public, it would probably be inappropriate… not anything that would get me canceled, but just the way I express myself.”

He added that having peers in the room while cameras are recording only increases discomfort.

“It’s awkward when there’s cameras rolling and your peers are watching. So you’re obviously going to be cautious and hesitant about what you say.”

Bischoff believes the series presents a blend of reality and calculated storytelling rather than a true behind-the-scenes look.

“You’re going to get some real stuff in there, and you’re going to get some stuff that is there for a reason.”

In his view, WWE Unreal Season 2 fails to capture the real creative process and instead delivers a version shaped for television drama.
