10 WWE Traitors Who Were More Effective After Leaving

10. Eric Bischoff

The man who used that very phrase as the title of his WWE-produced autobiography? None other than Eric Bischoff, one time known as the head honcho of World Championship Wrestling. Throughout the 1990's, WCW was Vince McMahon's biggest competition, and Bischoff would actually lead the Atlanta organisation to the top of the wrestling tree, garnering bigger ratings than McMahon's then-WWF for an 84 week spell, all the while raking in millions of dollars in Pay-Per-View revenue and merchandise. Unthinkably joining WWE in 2002, solely to play an on-screen character as General Manager of Monday Night Raw, Bischoff had a great run with the company and seemed to be having fun in wrestling again. The latter years of WCW's existence had been incredibly stressful, but his role in WWE allowed Eric to just concentrate on performing. Making appearances right up until late-2007 for WWE, Bischoff would later join TNA in late-2009, and delivered a bold statement that the promotion were gunning for the top spot. Lightning would not strike a second time for Bischoff, and those words would go without merit. Exactly why the guy was trying to take down WWE is unclear, because was it ever really likely to happen? For many longtime fans of the company, the arrival of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff is exactly when TNA started going downhill.
