Ranking Top 10 WCW Main Eventers In WWE

2. Eric Bischoff

Eric Bischoff only €œwrestled€ a few matches for WWE, but there's no denying that he was more successful in hostile territory than one would have ever expected. After the NWO storyline wrapped up in WWE, the company needed to be shaken up once again. To create a bit of controversy, they signed the former president of WCW to become the General Manager of Raw.

The sight of him on Raw was downright bizarre, but it lead to some great television. He constantly butted heads with Steve Austin, and almost always came up on the losing side to the delight of the fans. He later turned his sights on his €œnephew€ Eugene, and later John Cena. Despite having a plethora of real-life enemies backstage, he was able to hang onto his gig for four years.

Most people wouldn't have blamed him for wanting out of the wrestling business entirely, or at least not wanting to join his victorious opponent. But he did, and was a top character in the company during his tenure. The idea of an evil authority figure has been run to the ground over the past 15 years, but for some, Bischoff was the last one to do it in entertaining fashion.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
