    If given free reign, would Eric Bischoff be a good fit in creative for WWE or AEW today? Let us know in the comments below!

    How they don't use Bischoff in creative is beyond me, he had some very good ideas just like Heyman, surely he could only be an asset. Or bring him back as GM or do another angle with him? Eric is really good on the mic, WWE waste so many chances. WWE need to stop scripting all the promo's word for word and let the wrestlers talk like the old days, it comes across as more real then. It's way too over scripted now that's a big problem. Why not have Bischoff and Heyman with control of the brands and let them write? Vince is just a control freak, Heyman/Bischoff were fantastic minds. Vince has so much hatred for WCW and ECW. Imagine Heyman/Bischoff competing against each other, you could build that rivalry and build it so much.

Bischoff had no barometer on what was going on (which as an aside was the same problem with Russo 2002 I think). but Vince taking absolute control doesn't sound outside the realm of possibility at all either. look how much better the show presentation is now without Vince screaming in headsets or Kevin Dunn's abortionist style of doing wrestling TV.
