10 Worst Decisions Eric Bischoff Ever Made

10. Having Curt Hennig Turn On The Horsemen So Quickly

When it came time for Arn Anderson to call time on his wrestling career in 1997, it was a huge moment. Across a 19-year career, Double A had cemented himself as a true legend of the business - often as part of the iconic Four Horsemen.

As Anderson delivered a typically brilliant promo to announce his farewell, he had one last request: that Curt Hennig take his spot in the Horsemen.

It was emotional, it was poignant, and Hennig's "it would be a privilege" line of acceptance felt genuine. Not to mention, Curt Hennig ticked all of the right boxes to be a truly great Horsemen.

The problem is, all of this was quickly sh*t on when Hennig turned on his Four Horsemen brethren barely two weeks later to join the nWo at that year's Fall Brawl PPV. Making this situation even more groan-inducing, the week following Anderson's retirement speech, the nWo did a distasteful parody of Arn's heartfelt farewell.

Was it necessarily an awful idea to have Curt Hennig turn of the Horsemen? Maybe not. The problem here, is that this turn happened way, way too quickly. From the prestige of being handpicked to be the new Enforcer of the Four Horsemen, Eric Bischoff made the call to make Curt just another guy in the ever-increasing ranks of the New World Order.
