Eric Bischoff Raves About AEW Match, Hails Jeff Jarrett for the “Top Veteran”

He suggested that the hardcore nature of the match overshadowed the chance for Jarrett and Danielson to demonstrate their full range of wrestling skills. “As opposed to a hardcore match, which really doesn’t give you the opportunity to appreciate what they’re really capable of doing,” Bischoff added, highlighting his belief that a more conventional match could have better displayed their technical prowess.
