	Eric Bischoff
		Eric Bischoff is one of those people who got to live their dreams.
		Bischoff continued to have problems with co-GM Austin as 2003 went by, but he also had to deal with other problems, including the rage of Kane (who chokeslammed Bischoff off the stage at one point).
		Bischoff showed the potential to return to his heel days on the next Raw, as he talked to Shawn Michaels about how the fans in attendance (the show was held in Canada) still hated him.

	SLAM! Sports - Wrestling - Eric Bischoff
		Although he was attacked by the Outsiders upon their arrival, in November, Bischoff himself would step from behind the camera to become the mouthpiece and leader of the NWO as it grew to prominence...
		Eric Bischoff walked out during an episode of Monday Night Raw and was introduced by Vince McMahon as the new General Manager of the Raw brand.
		Even heels seem to take Bischoff for granted on Raw, as he was the recipient of an RKO from Randy Orton after Orton challenged the Undertaker to a match at Wrestlemania XXI.

	WrestleView.com - Eric Bischoff FAQ
		Bischoff mostly was only involved in the creative process of WCW with Vince Russo and he left a few months after.
		Bischoff was again promoted to a higher position as President of WCW during some time in the middle of 1997 to sometime in 1999 but it is hard to know the exact time since no major changes took place.
		One of Bischoff's creative strategies was to use "on the fly" booking, meaning that the matches booked are not decided until the night of the show (for television shows) and then finishes are not decided until the night of the show.

		Bischoff did not pull any punches and spoke very openly about his views on Vince McMahon and his experiences in WWE, Vince Russo, Paul Heyman, nWo, DX and a lot more, so be sure to listen to the actual interview located at www.inyourheadonline.com.
		Bischoff tells the story of him goggling his name and finding his bio on wikipedia.com and it has the wrong birthday and wrong information about him and his life and in turn was a reason for him to write his book.
		Bischoff goes on to explain that that is how WCW became so successful, that WWF (at the time) were the leaders in family entertainment and were targeted more to kids, that is why WCW went for the harder 18-34 year old male demographic and that is what originally made WCW different from WWF.

	American Chronicle: WWE and WCW Legend: Eric Bischoff
		Eric Bischoff wasn?t a diffident kind of guy, he knew exactly what was wrong with WCW, and knew what to do to aggrandized the popularity of WCW.
		Bischoff?s power grew so much that he became hubris and callowest at the same time, eventually WWE would finally defeat WCW in the ratings and to no surprise it was an auspice of all omens, because it was the first confrontation between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon that would abridge WCW?s reign.
		Bischoff distended the pay-per-view status in wrestling; he introduced the gimmick of a heel running the company, literally; and caused an influx of one of the greatest stables since the Four Horsemen, and at the same time resurrected the tiresome career of Hulk Hogan.

	Detore: Bischoff's story has happy ending - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		In 2005, Bischoff is a changed man. He not only altered his wardrobe and shorned his locks but also dismissed the immaturity and lack of perspective that propped him up as a wrestling genius but also labeled him as short-sighted.
		Bischoff tried his best to work with Russo, but their styles clashed almost immediately, and Bischoff exercised his option to leave.
		Bischoff, because of his history, will never be just another WWE personality, but he's more of a role player as the "Raw" general manager.

		Eric was asked for his thoughts on the DVD, and he said that the DVD did a great job of characterizing WCW and WWF from 1993 to 1999.
		Eric says that he was trying to be number one, and while some of the things he did might have been considered unethical, it was not to put WWF out of business.
		Eric says that he is to blame for some of the problems, but also says that Ric Flair was not the 'patron saint' that he has been portrayed as in the business.

	Bischoff return doesn't mean instant success - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		Bischoff can add some star power to "Raw." He can add a name that most wrestling fans are familiar with, dating back to his dubious WCW days.
		Bischoff is a self-professed visionary who concocted the New World Order angle and rode it into the ground by diluting the original, masterful idea with no-name journeyman such as Vincent, Scott Norton and Ed Leslie.
		Bischoff's return to professional wrestling seemingly is another fail-proof storyline, a golden opportunity given to a writing staff that seems unsure as to what it wants to do with WWE.

		Bischoff: "It was almost exactly a year ago to this date (March 6) that we were preparing to close that deal.

	Eric Bischoff - Pro Wrestling
		Eric was a telecaster and syndicator for the company (Verne Gagne is quoted as saying he thought Eric "had the right look for television," but his announcing at this point was, even according to Bischoff himself, admittedly mediocre).
		Bischoff was replaced with WCW accountant Bill Busch (the title "President of WCW," which had been created specifically for Eric Bischoff, was eliminated, with Busch being named executive-VP) and the parent company went so far as to ban Bischoff from the WCW offices.
		Bischoff was chosen as the special guest referee for the Degeneration X vs. Randy Orton and Edge match at Cyber Sunday on November 5, with 60% of the vote.

		Bischoff is made to look like a sleazebag on every wwe dvd he is in.
		The fact is, Eric has made alot of cold hearted decissions, but because of those he is one of the most successful people in the industry of professional wrestling.
		At first, Bischoff bored the hell out of me and i got sick of him when he was always getting the heels to beat down the faces on Raw, and it became painfully obvious what would happen.

	The Wrestling Gospel According to Mike Mooneyham
		Eric Bischoff was a highly overrated booth announcer who maneuvered himself into a job and got an awful lot of support that I could have never gotten.
		Bischoff's claim to fame was that he was a booth announcer and he invented a couple of games.
		Bischoff, who critics labeled "ATM Eric" due to his lavish spending habits, led the company on a drunken party during an incredible two-year run, but the hangover proved to be fatal.

		talk.bizarre uttered a semi-incoherent rant observing that there seemed to be an awful lot of hackers named Eric around -- ``and have you noticed'' (he said) ``that they all have moustaches and they're all UNIX system manglers?'' He then opined that these must be the secret signs of an insidious conspiracy.
		When asked if you are really a initiate of a sinister conspiracy to dominate the net and/or world, silently leave the room, say ``No comment'', smile without speaking or otherwise contrive to leave the questioner nervous, confused, and just a little more paranoid than he/she was before.
		At Eric Conspiracy meetings or while on Conspiracy business, address other initiates as `Bruce' (just to keep things clear).

		Eric Bischoff: It's interesting that you bring that up, and I cover it in depth in the book, but that incident was a perfect example of how successful we were at blurring the lines between reality and fiction.

	Profile
		(Bischoff had a failed audition with the WWF in June 1990).
		- Shockingly, Bischoff challenged McMahon to a match at "Slamboree" '98 as a means to settle their differences once and for all.
		- McMahon refused to participate in the WCW event of course, and Bischoff replied by calling McMahon a coward and having the "match" anyway at the PPV, where McMahon was counted out and Bischoff was declared the winner.

	ETC. News: J.J. Dillon responds to comments made by Eric Bischoff (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Eric Bischoff would have a full-time job looking for a rock big enough to crawl under.
		The point I tried to make to Eric was that I had been involved in all aspects of talent management and I would therefore be a good resource to Eric any time he evaluated talent, and I could specifically give an informed opinion when evaluating individual talent compensation.
		As for character, I find it difficult to believe that someone with a history like Eric Bischoff, a history that includes the Gold Club incident in Atlanta, which is a matter of public court record, would ever comment on the character of someone else.
