Bischoff couldn't fly straight.


Sure during the "Monday Night War" period of 1995-2001, WCW nearly "buried" the WWF for a portion of that period. And that was done because of the "dirty" tactics that Eric Bischoff carried out to make WCW the "number 1" wrestling company during that time too. But in a lot of ways, Eric Bischoff was a real "hasa" which is a Yiddish word for a pig who doesn't fly straight. Sure, the "Monday Night War" DVD was basically one-sided. But there were a lot of truths that were told about Eric Bischoff which caused WCW's downfall. During one of Mick Foley's interview segments, he states that Bischoff's way of thinking dealt with one of the famous lines from The Godfather which was "it's only business, not personal." Of course, this war did become personal between Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff as well. But two other "Mob" related movies that relate to other mistakes that relate to Eric Bischoff are both Casino and Scarface. With the Casino reference, that refers to Bischoff's overspending which was how he earned the nickname "ATM Eric." And that relates to Nicky Santoro's(Joe Pecsi) narration when he states that "It should've been perfect. But in the end we *beep* it up. It should've been so sweet. But it turned out to be the last time that street guys like us were given anything that *beep* valuable again." When it comes to Scarface, there are two references that relate to Eric Bischoff. The first is the scene when Tony Montana(Al Pacino) has the falling out with his boss, Frank Lopez(Robert Loggia) for which Frank tells Tony that the guys(drug lords)that fly straight are the ones that last. While the guys that want it all, they don't last. That refers to the fact that Eric Bischoff wanted WCW to be number 1 over the WWF without focusing on WCW seriously. The second Scarface reference is during the scene when Tony along with his two men, Ernie and Chi Chi along with Alberto who was an associate of Alex Sosa who was Tony's business partner, are trying to kill that journalist/drug agent that Sosa wants killed by a car bombing in front of the UN building in N.Y.C. Tony goes along with the plan in the beginning. But balks out once that journalist has his wife and two kids accompanying him to the UN in that car. Although Tony doesn't want to continue with the killing, Alberto does for which Tony shoots and kills Alberto and tells him, "I told you no *beep* kids. No, but you wouldn't listen. Oh you stupid *beep* look at you now." How that relates to Eric Bischoff, well all of the ex-WWF wrestlers who wrestled in WCW during that time ranging from Hulk Hogan, Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, Macho Man Randy Savage, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and even Ric Flair and along with former WWF turned WCW announcers Mean Gene Okerlund and Bobby "the Brain" Heenan warned Eric Bischoff that if he continued to compete with Vince McMahon along with the cockiness he had at that time, he was going to be very sorry. And look what happened, WCW started going down in 1998 and eventually went out of business in 2001 when Vince McMahon and the WWF(WWE) bought the company. So practically everything I stated about Eric Bischoff during the Monday Night War is true. And although this is a theory that I have, but I also believe that Eric Bischoff is the true "mastermind" behind the Montreal Screwjob. Sure, Vince McMahon may have actually screwed Bret Hart in that match against Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on November 9, 1997, before Hart's departure to WCW. But I believe that Eric Bischoff basically forced Vince McMahon to screw Bret Hart in that match.
