2. Eric Bischoff Says He’ll Kiss Dave Meltzer’s A$$ In The Middle Of Las Vegas If He’s Wrong Regarding A Racially Inappropriate Situation In WCW, Goldust Reveals What He Wants To Do At Starrcade This Year
– During a recent edition of “Bischoff On Wrestling” podcast, former WCW President Eric Bischoff took a look at an excerpt from the Wrestling Observer regarding his WCW firing:
“In recent weeks Bischoff had been under fire not only from talent, but from his office staff for refusal to fire one of his personal secretaries who wrote a racial joke that accidentally was seen by the numerous African Americans who work in the office, this after the company has spent money to ease racial relations and the African-Americans saw the result as when push came to shove, the easing racial relations was a work.”
Here’s what Bischoff had to say about this: “My response is I would like to see that. I would like to see what that joke was. I would like to know who that employee of mine was. I would like to confront that head on with Dave Meltzer or anybody else. I would like some facts in the equation because I have no recollection of that. If I am wrong I will kiss Dave Meltzer’s a$$ in the middle of Las Vegas. However, I have no recollection of that whatsoever. If I am wrong I will live up to it. I think it’s bullshit. I think it’s another example of the kind of things that, at least for me, made me so anti-dirt sheet and anti-Dave Meltzer.
If I am wrong I’ll eat it and I’ll accept responsibility and I’ll take it but I want to see it. I want to hear it and I want to know who it was. I want to see what the quote was. I want some facts. I want not “fake news” or “dirt sheet news” or “Dave Meltzer news.” I want some facts and then I’ll deal with it.”
– As we noted before, a WWE Live Event named “Starrcade” will take place on November 25th. Below is what former WWE Superstar and current ROH World Champion Cody Rhodes tweeted about this:

Speaking of Starrcade, Cody’s wife, former WWE ring announcer Brandi Rhodes, wasn’t happy with WWE not giving credit to the late great Dusty Rhodes for this event:
Starrcade was created and delivered by Dusty Rhodes. WWE didn't want to do it while he was here. Now they want to do it and not give credit? pic.twitter.com/5ZLsoptjHE
