Eric Bischoff PROMOTED WCW Agent For Knocking out Vader!

so I just wondered because it's obviously been rumored online did Paul orndorf really beat up Vader in his flip-flops yeah he did and please feel free to tell that story on my cell phone as I was driving to the the venue my assistant her name is Janie Angel and she lives in Texas now um but she was my right-hand person she knew everything nothing happened that I didn't hear about if I either didn't see it or it didn't come to me through her she was very close to me she was also very close to Paul lorf occasionally on the road but but Janie Jannie was very good friends with Paul and Paul and Vader got into an argument because Vader was a bully and if he was sitting in that chair right now I'd probably still get my ass kicked but he was a bully he just treated everybody with disrespect and he just he was a if you looked up the word bully in the dictionary at that time it would be a picture of a Big Fat Sweaty Vader and he and this is what I was told now cuz I'll go give back to that in a second but what I was told was that the production crew crew was try you know how it is you produce TV and you're trying to get people in certain places at certain times cuz you got cameramen that got a lot of stuff to do and you you know you don't you don't have all day to shoot a TV show you gotta kind of you got to get it done when you got to get it done and a lot of times Talent I'll get to you when I get to you yeah I'll be with you in just a second I got a whatever and a half hour to go by and it backs up everything and everybody else it's very disrespectful to everybody involved not only the production crew but also other Talent when you're a talent and a producer I don't care if it's a producer that's never been on the job one day before when a producer asks you to do something your job as a talent is to do it as quickly and as well as you can that's what I believe well Vader operated a little differently as did some some other guys so producers getting frustrated and trying to get Vader to where he was supposed to be and he kept blowing them off finally somebody went to Paul oror who was the agent at the time one of the agents and Paul was still a badass back then I mean he's still he could go and he didn't take any from anybody and he went up to Vader and said come on Vader you got to get you know get get to your interview and and Vader blew him off and Paul he showed up at TV and he was wearing cut off shorts cuz it was it was in the summer I remember in the summer time it was hot it was in an unir conditioned building similar to what we were in last night it was just a small confined hot place with not a lot of room to move around and everybody was a little tense anyway and when Vaders just blew Paul off Paul just punched him right in the side of the freaking head and knocked him out I don't know if he knocked him out he knocked him down I don't think he knocked him completely unconscious but he knocked him he dropped him with one punch in his flip-flops and Bermuda shorts and Jan I got to tell the rest of the story so I'm driving to the Arena cuz I was at a meeting and I was running late TV had already started and I'm I'm driving as quick as I could I had a cell phone on my car that was back when cell phones were kind of a big this like James Bond Adam and and I get this Panic call from Janie Angel because she thought for sure when I got to the building and found out that Paul hor dorf punched one of our talents that I was going to fire Paul and because she was friends with Paul she didn't want that to happen so so I'm pick up phone she and she you know she's trying to tell me and she's a very honest person and she's trying to tell me what happened I went tell Paulie just got a raise and that's that story
