Either JJ doesn't age or he's been this age since the 80s.

[@TheHannibalTV]

Very true. He looks exactly the same.

@@jsdavis75 He's like a vampire. 100 years is like 1 year to him.

[@brandonhendrix7223]

I think he's one of those "born old" guys. Meaning he probably looked the same when he was in his teens as he does today. Ha!

[@PGTransformed]

JJ Dillion definitely took care of himself. That is why he has not aged!

[@markbowman6655]

JJ seems the furthest thing from his heel manager persona of the 80's, honest, real low key, and down to earth.

[@johnfalcetta5431]

The end was one of the most polite yet effective burials ever.

[@FraterOculus]

Personally if I had been in charge of WCW, I think I would have given the actual wrestling business aspects to Dillon and Sullivan, and used Bischoff as my greasy salesmen to send to fleece money out of people.

[@edwardsanchezgonzalez1146]

JJ Dillon is right! he's telling the truth. Eric Bischoff did failed WCW is gone.

[@georgebrice3831]

Edward Sanchez gonazelez+ bischoff failed WCW bullshit he made WCW look at the ratings they beat wwe for 82 weeks shoot he close it to beat Vince time warner and AOL failed with WCW and Vince Russo sabotaged it JJ dillion sound like a bitter old man who never came close to the success that bischoff did

[@Bryan8329]

I think that's what he is essentially going to do for WWE and Fox per the new position he just acquired.

[@williamturnbull16]

Eric did not fail Time Warner/ AOL didn’t want wrestling and Ted Turner wasn’t in charge that is why WCW went under. Eric was a wrestling guy he was brought up in the dying days of the AWA. I would also call Eric successful because he did what a lot of old wrestling guys couldn’t do( Dusty, Ole, Watts, Cornette, Flair and Sullivan) he beat McMahon for a while being the biggest wrestling company in the World. The people I previously mentioned had access to Ted as well and couldn’t do what Eric did.

[@jimpimmers5387]

To this day I would never believe a word Eric Bischoff ever says. He's a huge bullshit artist just like when you listen to Hulk Hogan. WCW failed and Bischoff never takes any responsibility for it but he sure as shit will tell you how wonderful he was in the 80+ weeks Nitro was able to beat Raw.

[@curthennig9448]

Ain't that the truth! That's why Bischoff is out there on the podcasts to revise the negative WCW history attributed to him. At every turn he tries to discredit the dirt sheets when he gets buried for something. To be fair, Meltzer and Keller didn't always get it right, but certainly there was a good amount of truth in the majority of their reporting.

[@edwardsanchezgonzalez1146]

JJ Dillon is right! he's telling the truth. Eric Bischoff did failed WCW is gone.

[@edwardsanchezgonzalez1146]

luckiest person in the world Eric Bischoff made a profit for WCW only because he had a open check book from Ted Turner, (he was getting all the talent from wwf/wwe)as far of his predecessors Ole Anderson, Jim Herd a disaster waiting to happen.

[@Byzantine41]

A very classy way of saying he doesn't give a fuck about Eric or what he thinks lol

[@TheeCoachg]

Byzantine41 right 😂😂😂😂😂 JJ is a class act

[@rumtuckskatter]

JJ has literally not aged since 1985. Pretty sure he got turned into a vampire when he was 60 years old (which was 30 years ago)

[@keefriff99]

JJ is 77, which means he was 47 thirty years ago.

[@markj9398]

He didn't deny it 🤷‍♂️

[@chadwilliams5756]

I met Jimmy Dillon briefly back in 2004. Very nice, friendly and humble man.

[@aaronmassey256]

I wish the candidness of jj and just the flowing stories would come through on his podcast.

[@gigglemaniarunninwild2207]

Why? Does his podcast suck?

[@aaronmassey256]

Yes. It’s not even around anymore

[@TheeCoachg]

Bischoff should been under someone to properly utilize his talents. Eric is a snake oil salesman and truly believes his own bullshit and that can be beneficial when relegated properly. There should have been a promotor between Turner & Bischoff,Bill Watts possibly. Eric needed someone who knew that product to monitor where the outrageous spending went. Eric brought in Hogan,great but once he turned WCW around,he became a huge festering sore to the company but because he was Bischoff’s friend,he continued burying new talent and getting obscene paydays for it. Watts would never have let that go on.

[@TheNotbadphonedaddy]

J.J is extremely concerned with how a person dresses. I was doing a job one time for a company called Takedownwrestle media. It was a three-day event. I had no idea that JJ was going to join us for a breakfast before the work day started. I thought it was just going to be me and a member of the crew grabbing a quick waffle and yogurt. So I just went down in a pair of shorts and a baseball cap. J.J. already dressed in a suit and tie, was highly offended. I could tell just by the way he talked and spoke with me. I wish I would have had warning, because later on I dressed professionally, but I wasn't for that breakfast that I had no idea he was going to be a member of. It forever tainted his image of me.

[@afattori316]

What a class act he is. One of the greatest heel managers.

[@jackdavies8581]

Bischoff is so full of shit, hed have had that info in a drop of a heart beat and did! He was so desperate to put WWE out of business, I mean if he didnt have figures or didnt want them then how did he prize Nash, Hall, Hogan etc from WWE? Obviously he knew their payroll.....even Nash and Hall have go on the record of saying that they were offered more in WCW I wonder why

[@curthennig9448]

Hogan was actually gone from the WWF when Bischoff plucked him from that stupid movie series he was doing. Have to remember that Barry Bloom was negotiating for Hall and Nash before they came to WCW I believe. Eric could over pay these guys because it wasn't his company/money. With Turner's checkbook at his disposal ATM Eric started running wild. And you better believe that the wrestlers were well aware of it and most of them got some great guaranteed money with limited working dates.

[@mikesmith2718]

Bischoff and his kid will never be mentioned even closely to JJ Dillon and what hes done for the business. Bischoff won 2 years of ratings than sank the entire ship after those 2 years .

[@curthennig9448]

It certainly started to fall off the cliff in the early stages of 1999. Garrett Bischoff was a recipient of Dixie Carter welfare money. Where is he now? Hanging around Jason Hervey maybe?

[@mike2959]

Kevin Sullivan isn’t responsible. JJ not responsible. Nobody responsible when it’s bad. Everyone takes the credit when it’s good. Eric’s success was turning a profit, then beating WWE for 2 years. While Monday night football is also airing. That’s pretty damn impressive. With very little experience compared to Vince.

[@genxtasy9914]

JJ partied hard when he was young and aged fast. So he put the brakes on it and now hasn't aged.

[@kapten32]

The problem is wcw tried to compete against wwf and it didn't go well should've just stayed how it was

[@jasonvoorhees6416]

Floyd Wilson don't talk anymore ok. Unless you want to learn facts before you talk. Like how wcw did more than compete and beat raw for over 2 years

[@kapten32]

Jason Voorhees number 1 I'm well aware about wcw beating wwf for 2 years I'm not talking about that I'm talking about when the nwa was the standard of wrestling so before you comment on someone's comment how bout you ask the person what they meant before spewing your opinions to a person who knows what they're talking about

[@arturocruz3760]

Floyd Wilson I concur , The NWA/ early WCW days were the best wrestling ever. It all changed when Hogan brought his wrestling buddies that were part of WWFs over the top characters.

[@Deeky76]

If wcw didn't compete against wwf back then it would have been in the shitter back in the early 90s

[@curthennig9448]

@@jasonvoorhees6416 WCW certainly competed very well against Vince for a good 3 years in all facets of the game.

[@TheeCoachg]

JJ is old school and knows how to play the game. He was pivotal in Jim Crockett promotions/WCW success,he had loyalty to the “Territory System”. My guess is that JJ collected all the information he needed while working in Stanford,knowing he would be back to WCW at some point and wanted to do right by them. He never denies what Bischoff is accusing him of but how JJ carries himself he would not outright take contracts or leave a sloppy paper trail so if Bischoff said “Hey,I really want Scott Hall and im gonna pay him 500,000”.. JJ would would interject with thats either far more or far less than he’s making now. Its smart business. And it actually seems like something Vince would send somebody to wcw to do. Bischoff became power hungry and thought he knew everything,had Bill Watts been in charge that information would have been handled properly.

[@curthennig9448]

Excellent points here and that's probably how it went down between Eric and JJ when discussing pursuing WWF talent.

[@arthurprior3494]

Wait?So Eric was telling the truth he's saying?

[@rainman11985]

Certainly sounds like it.

[@curthennig9448]

Bischoff had to watch his p's and q's because the WWF had slapped a lawsuit on WCW before Dillon had returned to WCW. I think JJ left the WWF in Oct.1996. I'm not sure when JJ exactly started in WCW, but it was probably shortly after that.

[@billywilliams8753]
