Former WCW President Eric Bischoff is weighing in on the brewing controversy over CNN blackmailing a Redditor that created the now famous Trump Vs. CNN meme.

For those unfamiliar with the story, President Donald Trump tweeted out a humorous internet meme of his WrestleMania appearance last week. The meme portrayed Trump beating Vince McMahon with the CNN logo replacing McMahon’s head. To most people it was a harmless dig at the CNN. To humorless CNN, it was a high crime and misdemeanor.

CNN then apparently hunted down the Redditor who took credit for the original meme and apparently coerced an apology, threatening to publicly to reveal his name if he does it again:

Even if you think the Reddit guy was a butt hole for some of his alleged posts, his family friends and co-workers could be caught in the crossfire of any revenge visited upon him by CNN revealing his identity.
