8 Geniuses Who Were Secretly Behind Famous Wrestling Ideas

3. New World Order: Eric Bischoff

Here's one that Eric Bischoff really did come up with - well, kind of.

Bischoff got the idea for the New World Order after he watched a similar storyline - specifically, that of "The Union of Wrestling Forces International" (maybe it just doesn't translate well) - unfold in New Japan Pro Wrestling, so it wasn't entirely original in its formation.

Its execution though - and the way that Hulk Hogan turned Hollywood in in 1996, joining up with Outsiders Kevin Nash and Scott Hall in the process - was 100% Bischoff (which would have also been a great name for a line of hair products launched by the future Raw GM).

If you want to know where he got the name "New World Order" from, we could tell you, but we'd have to kill you.
