One of Bischoff's very first assignments in WWE was to make a quick cameo on the 22 July 'Raw Reunion' episode. In between that, he had to acclimatise quickly to WWE's corporate structure and bed into his new role behind the scenes. After the show was done, he hopped into a car with Paul Heyman and Dana Warrior.

What a Survivor Series team and unlikely trio that is.

Bischoff drove from Raw in Tampa to SmackDown in Miami (the show was still being shot on Tuesdays at the time) with the guy who revolutionised pro wrestling in the 90s with ECW and The Ultimate Warrior's widow. Conrad Thompson had a pretty hard time picturing that threesome rocking up to service stations in the middle of the night.

Eric did snag himself a place on WWE's corporate jet after that, which surprised him; he asked the company how he'd get plane tickets, but they told him he was on the jet with Vince. No more slumming it in cars for 'Easy E'!
