Bischoff trashes another WWE title:
Eric Bischoff says the Universal title is meaningless...
"I don't think it matters if Brock Lesnar held the Universal title or not, and I don't think anybody cares about the Universal title. It's meaningless. Who cares? I think people care about Brock. I think he is such a badass, and such a larger than life character, and so unbeatable that the world is waiting to see who and if anybody will come along and knock him from his throne. But I don't think there would be any more or any less interest in any of those matchups if the belt was not a part of it."

"All of last year, I feel like our career was kind of like at a standpoint where we weren't really doing much, where we were told one thing and the next week, it was something else. We thought we would be facing each other, and then they stopped that. So we were like, 'alright, if they're going to make us a tag team, let's be the best tag team we could possibly be' where we were training together; we're watching tape together; we're getting matching gear just to be told that they weren't going to have the titles. And then, the next thing you know, they're introducing the titles, there are so many dreams and so many goals that we stay up late on the road just talking about how we're going to achieve them all."
