The Monday Night War Debate: 14 Things We Learned From Eric Bischoff & Bruce Prichard
9. The Idea For The NWO
The next topic is where the idea from the nWo came from, and as covered before, Eric says that he was inspired by the invasion storylines taking place in Japan. He was amazed at how hot the business was in that country, and he wanted to create the same reality and perception in their product. He was just learning about the psychology of the business and wanted to emulate the company vs. company angles he saw being done overseas. Prichard says that Bischoff was specifically trying to paint it as WWE employees coming into WWE, and he counters that it was never his intention to treat it as an invasion of WWE wrestlers, but rather as a group of former WCW workers who had been mistreated by the company, left and found success elsewhere and then returned to exact their revenge. Bruce argues that he did exactly the opposite of that, making every allusion that the two men were still under WWEs employ, and Bischoff admits that they didnt do enough to draw that distinction and learned that lesson the hard way in court.
