WrestleZone’s Top 10: WWE Authority Figures

Number 2: Eric Bischoff: July 2002, December 2005

A shocking announcement, followed by a jaw dropping hug that Bischoff and McMahon made memorable, Eric Bischoff made a huge impact from the beginning. The history from WCW certainly helped, especially because of the real life hatred he possessed with Vince. Maybe it was because I was such a fan of his HLA or Two Minute Warning creations but Bischoff’s tenure was excellent. He created “Raw Roulette” and the ever so dangerous Elimination Chamber. He is the longest tenured GM on Raw. He would feud with John Cena, Stone Cold, and a lot of the best the business had to offer. He would be taken out in a dumpster by Vince McMahon, who was taking out the trash. Bischoff was never anything short of fantastic. His character, his charisma, and his undying intelligence of the wrestling business. Some wish he would still be in the WWE. I am one of those, because his legacy now is a different story. Nonetheless, Bischoff did it the right way in the WWE.
