ERIC BISCHOFF SHOWS THOSE PEOPLE SKILLS THAT MAKE HIM SUCH A VALUABLE TNA EXECUTIVE

Derek Clark sent the following....Eric Bischoff posted the following via FaceBook and Twitter: "Just had a beer here in Nashville. Bartender asked me I worked for the boss "Jeremy Borash". When I asked "WTF" that was supposed to mean, I was told emphatically that Jeremy has represented himself as an "owner" of TNA. Jeremy is a low rent bit player who should be fortunate he has a job."

Note from Mike: Anyone who has followed TNA knows that Jeremy Borash pretty much lives on the road for TNA, going back and forth from Europe to the United States working a ring announcer, house show producer and a TV announcer for the company. Beyond that, he's worked in production and creative ends and helped build the social media side of the promotion. During the early era of the company, he did a yeoman's work at pretty much anything and everything that was needed. To be fair, he wasn't alone as lots of others did and do the same, but anyone who's ever worked there knows what a utility player Borash has been for TNA since the Nashville PPV era.

For Bischoff to go online at 1 am in the morning (Nashville time) and write that anyone is lucky to have their job is a downright insulting and pathetic thing for anyone to say, much less a top executive in any company talking about someone they are supposed to be producing and overseeing as a talent. It's hardly the thing that breeds loyalty and inspires anyone to work hard for the place they work for - and that's not factoring in that Borash has been there since day one of the company, when employees were hardly making anything.

As top wrestler in the company texted to me this AM, "Either Bischoff is trying to get heat or he just outed how much he doesn't know or care about TNA."

I really, really, really hope it's the former. If it's the latter, even if Bischoff believes he was 100% in the right for making the comment and calling out Borash, the trickle down effect of emasculating an employee publicly is something Dixie Carter has to address. WWE would never, ever tolerate someone of power doing that publicly and neither should TNA. Could you imagine Kevin Dunn writing that about say, Michael Hayes, in public?
