  1. I think SHORT term it made sense for Bischoff to be the "manager" of the nWo but LONG term, it made more sense for Trillionaire Ted to because of the obvious WWF ties & take over of WCW. So it's all about the storytelling & how they wanted to tell the story. Nash power bombing Eric & then he's the manager makes no sense to me at all

  2. Eric would've been a decent manager if they dropped him after a year.

    Him sticking around like a bad smell turned me away from WCW. Which I guess I'm thankful for since it all went to heck anyway.

  3. Eric was a TV guy, not a wrestling guy. It worked because TV was what it was about at that time. Crash TV, more specifically. As great as the Monday Night Wars (and Attitude Era) were, it also led to a place where we could never really get wrestling back. Promoters and guys from the Territory days talk about that a lot: as great as the nWo, Sting, Stone Cold and the Rock, DX, and everything that came with that era was – as great as it STILL is to go back and watch – it changed the business so it is no longer The Business. It has become more difficult to make angles and gimmicks last; matches have become glorified gymnastics routines instead of about psychology and selling. The guys who are "over" are force-fed to us (like Cena was) at the expense of all other talent. Everything is now overproduced, and the crowds are awful because they just chant stupid shit while recording everything on their phones instead of watching the show.

  4. Except he wasn't and it should've been Ted DiBiase. Not only is he a way better promo guy, connecting it back to the Million Dollar Man gimmick made a lot of sense.
    Bankrupt Bischoff only displayed one thing: Ego. He saw the nWo getting big, so he needed to become part of it. It was weak and basically didn't do anything. Heck, most of the time nothing made even any sense anymore. Especially WCW keeping him in power and just watch him do nonsense.
    But i guess the little cuckold needed this. No wonder WCW turned to complete crap under his rule.
