Then Bischoff got hooked on coke and watching his wife get eaten out by prostitutes, and any creativity he had went right out the window.

Keeping steve austin, stealing bret in 96 and then letting hogan/hall/nash leave after starrcade so they could poison the wwf locker room would have 100% won the war

nobody cared how Sting looked. If it was booked well this wouldn't be a talking point at all. It was only brought up because Eric needed an excuse for how badly he fucked the whole thing up

Your timeline doesn't make sense. Bret's contract came up in '97, and I doubt Hogan/Hall/Nash's contracts would have expired all at the same time.

Bret was negotiating with WCW in October 1996 before he signed his mega deal with wcw to keep him around for another 10 years. Hogan's contract expired in 1998

Austin being wasted still makes no sense, dude had clear star potential even back then. His feud with steamboat was midcard and still better than anything wwe was doing at the time

He was great as an on screen heel, but booking was another thing. So many bad decisions and wasted talent like Hart. He was mostly lucky to have so much money to throw around but he couldn't control the egos in the NWO.

I love Eric B. I love his podcast and always thought he was great on the mic as a commentator or as on screen heel. That being said he said on 83 weeks his podcast he never was a fan of wrestling in terms of what happened in the ring. I surmise that is why he missed the boat on a lot of these guys. WCW was tits in terms of presentation and a lot of ways. If the guy in charge doesn't like wrestling there is definitely going to be a cap on how far it can go.

say what you will about him, but Bischoff is the only promoter who ever beat Mcmahon in any way. Now that vince is retired, no one else can ever do that so he remains the only one.

Bischoff was an excellent TV executive. Nitro's presentation was amazing and made everything they did seem so much more important than WWF, especially before Vince got a clue and started pushing RAW as a grimy white trash promotion.

That said, Bischoff had exactly one good booking idea ever, and couldn't let that go even as the company circled the drain.
