14 Things We Learned From Eric Bischoff On Legends With JBL (Part 2)
6. He Hated Being In WCW In Late 1999 But Had A Plan For A Millennium PPV
Bischoff's WCW firing was inevitable and the culmination of several poor creative and business decisions coming to a head. Bischoff says he was miserable during his final months in WCW and absolutely hated working there. He reiterates that his biggest regret is not leaving on his terms in 1998 when his gut was telling him to. Two hours after being fired from the company he had his fishing gear packed and was on his way to Wyoming. Bischoff did have an idea for a big Millennium PPV that he thinks would have gotten WCW closer to being back in the black but people were fearful of the Y2K thing and Bischoff was on his way out, anyway.
