Eric Bischoff might not exactly be a wrestler in the traditional sense of an athlete but, he's severely affected the climate of what wrestling is today. As president of the WCW imprint, Bischoff single-handedly helped the company rise to prominence above the forever dominating force that was the WWF in the pro-wrestling promotions world in the mid-90s. Bischoff helped develop the nWo era of wrestling, he helped Sting rebrand and become a cult-classic legend, and he developed the killing machine that we all know today as Bill Goldberg.
Bischoff started the Monday Night Wars between WCW and WWF and reigned supreme for a total of 84 weeks in a row. Unfortunately, WCW's reign was cut short and the masses transitions back over to the WWE. Bischoff later was hired as a General Manager at WWE Monday Night RAW, he also worked with TNA as a producer and Global Force Wrestling before bowing out of the business. Say what you want about him, you have to give Eric Bischoff his credit for affecting the culture in a positive way and maxing it out to its fullest potential.
