Before appearing on WWE television, the antagonism between Eric Bischoff and Vince McMahon existed behind the scenes. When Bischoff challenged McMahon to show up to WCW during the heat of the Monday Night Wars, he shattered the fourth wall. After winning the battle to become the Raw General Manager, Vince hired Bischoff. Throughout Bischoff’s WWE career, the two had a few of high-tension moments that always made for terrific television. McMahon finished his term as GM by firing Bischoff and tossing him in a garbage truck.
The finest aspect of Eric Bischoff’s WWE career was having to serve as an authority figure on Raw with Steve Austin. After injury worries terminated Austin’s career at WrestleMania 19, WWE sought to find a way to keep him around. Austin would be the face that would prevent Bischoff’s nefarious schemes from succeeding. With incredibly emotional storytelling, Bischoff’s heel side, led by Randy Orton, defeated Shawn Michaels and Austin’s team in the spectacular Survivor Series 2003 elimination battle. Austin ultimately reappeared to exact further vengeance in a series of humorous or gripping sequences.
