17 Things We Learned From Eric Bischoff On Legends With JBL (Part 1)

11. Bill Watts

When Herd, who had no experience running a wrestling company and whose previous job was as a regional manager for a Pizza Hut, didn't work out WCW hired Bill Watts to take over. Like Herd, Watts had a controversial tenure in WCW, implementing what some felt were anachronistic rules (no jumping off or over the top rope) and for being way behind the times. JBL asks Bischoff if he liked Watts to which he receives an instant 'no, I didn't like him on a personal level'. Although Watts and Bischoff didn't interact much, Bischoff saw the way he treated other people and he wasn't a fan of it. Bischoff called him a bully who did some 'insane things' that he wouldn't even talk about because they were so 'crude and rude'. Both men quickly bring up that Watts was fired from his position after making racist remarks during an interview.
