Eric Bischoff is best known as the man who almost brought down WWE during the Monday Night Wars, as the President of World Champion Wrestling (WCW).

Any film with (or about) Bischoff would likely focus on the Monday Night Wars. The man best suited to play the former NWO member during that era would be Academy Award-winning actor, Tom Cruise.

Granted, Cruise usually plays the protagonist or hero in his films. That being said, as we saw in the early portion of Jerry Maguire (before he left the agency) Cruise can play a sleazy character as well.

However, what makes Cruise such a compelling candidate for the role of Eric Bischoff is the fact that he has that same sh%t-eating grin that made the former WCW head honcho appears so smug and helped make him a natural heel.

Cruise's signature smile alone is worth the small fortune it would cost to cast him as the man who nearly destoryed WWE.
