Eric Bischoff was the Executive Director of Smackdown on FOX for a few months in 2019, and the former WCW head-honcho has something interesting tidbits from his time on the blue brand. 



On his podcast <a href="https://westwoodonepodcasts.com/pods/83-weeks-with-eric-bischoff/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">83 Weeks</a>, Bischoff talked about the much-hyped debut of Smackdown on FOX in October last year, and revealed that the show went &#8216;as flawlessly as it could go&#8217;.



He also added that Dwayne &#8216;The Rock&#8217; Johnson was allowed just twelve minutes for his segment with Becky Lynch and King Corbin, but backstage officials in the guerrilla feared that he would extend his segment.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“The mood and the feeling was very high. It was very positive. The show went about as flawlessly as it could go. There was a lot of nervousness about Rock. Now I’ve never produced Rock or worked directly with him as a producer. I’ve only worked with him briefly for a blink of an eye as an on-camera talent, but everybody was concerned that Rock was going to take his 12-minute promo and turn it into a 30-minute promo which as we discussed on this show before just collapse all kinds of other plans and other promos and length of match, it could be a real disaster when that happens.”</blockquote>



The Rock&#8217;s first appearance on WWE television in over three years had a major impact on the ratings, as WWE managed to rake in more than 4 million viewers for the debut episode of Smackdown on FOX.
