Wrestling Legends Speak on Eric Bischoff 

Underestimated it more like. As Elvis will be known forever and there always will be Elvis impersonators to go along with that forever and secretly or in some cases not so secretly people have a dislike for them. They always seem to think they are the greatest one and not only are a dead ringer for but sound exactly like Elvis to the point they think they are him. However in actual fact most people think they are nothing like him, pathetic & are ridiculous. That's why the gimmick got over he was such an extreme impersonator that he thought he was original, above Elvis & Elvis copied him.

Sooo... Overestimated his gimmick..

He couldnt. Bischoff ran WCW out of business

Honky Tonk cuts a good shoot interview and comes off as a legit good guy but that WCW thing was suspect. He also had next to none crowd reaction with the brief Santino run recently which was unfortunate but you got to see eventually his poor fitness regime which is just his own lazy fault.

Honky Tonk Man sucks

Thank you very much!

@@LH74 Ruined a great company? Do you know how much money they were losing before Bischoff stepped in? They were finished. Destroyed the wrestling business? The attitude era does not occur without Nash and Hall going over to Bischoff's WCW and taking the business to the next level. If it weren't for them, we would still have Doink the Clown's, to this day.

Bischoff left booking everything except Hogan. Anything else was booking committee. Financially he did turn profit which is his true claim to fame, just so happens along the way he did win a one sided ratings war.

I think he and JR could have made a great team and done great things together.

@@PGO_Gamingwhat’s wrong with Doink the clown? Matt Borne created it and Vince ruined it by turning baby face after Matt was fired

I don't. I don't see Hogan, in 2000, agreeing to lose to Jeff Jarrett 4 the world title

Dude that story such bs. They had just started. They wont that over until 97. Stop repeating Kevin nash bull lol

Actually, the nwo was first started in Japan... and then wcw used it later. Chris Jericho was in Japan when it started.

Because he holds the world record for the number of times “BRO “ is said in one interview

Bro, he is a brolegend

I came here to say the exact thing.

He is a legend in bad gimmick matches, when you think of wrestle crap you think of him,

Yea, it's not surprising tobhear him still talking bullshit.

He’s a legendary figure in wrestling for sure great heel

Russo wrote the most-viewed wrestling shows ever.

They weren't the most viewed shows because of his writing. A monkey could've wrote and had success with Austin and The Rock. It's like when Barry Switzer won the Superbowl with Jimmy Johnson's roster in Dallas. Besides, it hasn't been wrestling since 85 when Vince turned everyone into cartoon characters.

MS: Yeah, I'm gonna call b.s. on that. Before Vince flushed the industry down the toilet, there were no scripted promos. Guys weren't told words they weren't allowed to use. Legends like Tommy Rich, Dusty, Jake Roberts, The Road Warriors, The Horsemen, and dozens more didn't need a script and it came off much more natural. Vince's little fantasy world of "wrestling" garbage men, repo men, roosters, Elvis impersonators, monks, gobbledy gookers has been trash since the day he took over. It's hysterical that a guy like Terry Taylor, who was an accomplished professional, would reduce himself to the little red rooster character. And Russo's garbage wasn't about the wrestling, it was about what ridiculous, awkward position he could put the women in. He was a hack. If Russo is so great, why is he still unemployed?

I'll say again, Austin and The Rock were going to be huge even if a 3rd grader was booking it. They were going to be huge no matter what. While Vince (McMahon) has wiped his ass with the business for 30+ years, there have been some good things to come out of it. Austin, Rock, Taker. I can't stand Shaun at all, but he's probably the best worker ever.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Jesse Calarco first of all what I said was my opinion. I said what I said and I meant what I said as a wrestling fan. Not to mention I've never liked Bischoff, though I do give him some credit for some of the things he did. This goes all the way back to my high school days when the Monday Night War was going on. What you said is pointless because Dave Meltzer, nor Vince Russo nor anyone else had anything to do with my views towards Bischoff. Smh. Using common sense is much better than assumption. Learn to not assume things towards a person especially when you don't know a person. Unless of course you have the gift of readng minds, which clearly you don't, considering how wrong your assumptions were in your response. Have a nice day sir.

@Jesse Calarco Lol carbon copy. Its more like a coincidence. Like I said my opinion and they had nothing to do with it. If it's similar as you claim then hey o well I could careless. Deal with it . Bischoff did not push alot of the talent he had. It was mainly about NWO every week. I don't need to listen to Dave Meltzer to know that, why because I watched the product. Like I said I do give Bischoff some credit because he did come up with some good ideas. The NWO and the Hogan heel turn were two of his best. Goldberg was great as well. As time went on the NWO angle got boring and stale. I agree it's because of him WCW was ruling the Monday Night War. However, though I feel the way I feel about Bischoff, I feel like hiring Russo was a big mistake because he was running WCW into the toilet. When I say that Bischoff didn't know what he was doing, I feel like he didn't try to improve on his creativity. That's just my opinion man. I mean Jesus Christ man relax. Its just an opinion based on what I saw as a wrestling fan. If you don't agree with me that's fine. No need to come off, making assumptions because like I said you don't know me. I could be wrong, but you seem to be a passionate person about wrestling. I am also. We can agree/disagree respectfully sir. Enjoy your weekend. Be safe

The nwo wasn't created in America, it was created in Japan. Nash and Bischoff stole that gimmick.

lol thanks very forgettable stuff

Hogan got several guys up the card in wwf and wcw.

Sonny Onoo...I think

Jerry jarret

Hogan is always full of shit....but so is Russo. Hardest mystery in Kayfabe to crack.

Russo wrote the most-viewed wrestling shows ever

Fair enough

I'm good with more Sonny and less Vince

Sonny Oh no!

I love how he frams that ridiculous sounding Ninja Star Wars business venture with Bischoff like a reasonable successful idea...and then essentially buries himself in the single line "we didn't make any money" 😆 Ya no shit Sonny a couple con men selling a stupid idea won't go very far.

I would believe Russo over Bischoff any day.

Bro, what are you talking about, bro? Vinnie Roo created the Attitude era, bro. Look at the numbahs, bro.

Smark.

yes

@@TheHannibalTV he had success, but a legend??😬

Maybe your next compilation should feature Legendary Greatest Wrestler ever Beaver Cleavage, or maybe World's Greatest Manager Judy Bagwell
