On an episode of his "83 Weeks" podcast, former WCW executive Eric Bischoff analyzed his former boss' "never look back" mindset, which is heavily explored in the first few episodes of the series. Bischoff said it's not just something McMahon said to establish a character for the docuseries, but what he's done throughout his entire career that demonstrates how he truly thinks.
"It's so consistent if you look back over the years and the decisions that Vince has made," Bischoff said. "Quite frankly, the decision to bring me in as a talent back in 2001 or whenever it was. The Warrior, to bring him back. To bring Sable back, we saw that in detail. I mean, it was weird, Stephanie's using it as part of a promo about Sable suing WWE for sexual [harassment] and now it's part of a storyline. Vince has demonstrated exactly what he said in this documentary. He doesn't look backward, he only looks forward and if it's good for business, let's talk."
