3. Eric Bischoff Challenges Vince McMahon To A Fight On Pay-Per-View
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoZUXeKIPwE On the May 11, 1998 edition of WWF Monday Night Raw, not only did Sable finally powerbomb her evil husband Marc Mero, but D-Generation X also attempted an "invasion" of CNN Tower in Atlanta - the building that housed WCW's corporate headquarters. Eric Bischoff's response wasn't of course to say, have nWo member and then-WCW Champion Hollywood Hogan challenge WWF Champion "Stone Cold"Steve Austin to a match. Instead he challenged Vince McMahon to a fight at Slamboree on May 17, 1998. Certainly, Vince McMahon was merely tweaking Eric Bischoff, and he fell for the bait hook, line and sinker. I can imagine Vince, sitting in his office, rewinding Bischoff's promo burying him and X-Pac and really trying hard not to laugh his ass all of the way off. Do you want to see the amazing conclusion to this ridiculous ratings stunt? Of course you do. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ik7f_eric-bischoff-vs-vince-mcmahon-slam_sport
