Eric Bischoff Calls For Soap Opera Style In Wrestling
“It is a male, testosterone — and sometimes female — testosterone-driven, action-driven, combat — it's fake combat, but perceived combat — but I think it has to have that soap opera feel in order to be episodic.— Eric Bischoff
WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff argued that pro wrestling must embrace a soap opera feel to succeed as episodic television. He said stories need to create anticipation so fans are eager for the next episode to see what happens next. Bischoff previously praised Triple H and Bruce Prichard for regaining WWE audience interest after Vince McMahon lost them with his approach to storytelling.
