Eric Bischoff was a mastermind of WCW’s success, serving as Senior Vice President of the Monday Night Wars and founding one of the most dominant factions of the ’90s, the NWO. To this day, Bischoff regards this group as the biggest story told in wrestling, pointing out that Hulk Hogan’s heel turn was something no one had foreseen. However, Eric Bischoff believes the current WWE storyline will prevail over the NWO storyline. “I think [The Bloodline] is the best story told in professional wrestling for 30 years or more,” Bischoff said on a recent episode of the “83 Weeks” podcast. “Much better than the NWO. That is. Structurally, it’s discipline. That means sticking to the plan, sticking to the story, and not starting to throw things at random and spontaneously because someone had a great idea two hours before showtime. This is what usually happens.

“They stick to the plan and execute it perfectly. NWO is a great story, and at the time, I think it – until Bloodline – was one of the best stories told, which is why people kept talking about it. But if you just look at the way Bloodline is told and the detail and discipline that go into that story, it just blows up the NWO story.”

Roman Reigns’ heel. The WWE Hall of Famer said there was no wrong choice in what WWE was doing, calling it a “good position”. Reigns will defend his title against Zayn at the Elimination Chamber and if he retains the title, he will face Royal Rumble men’s winner Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39.  

“John is the ultimate role model for how he behaves in all things to the media, to the fans, to the good fans, to the more unruly fans. He is the ultimate role model. And I had to drive him a little bit before he became a bus driver. He just talked. He was a really irreplaceable person to be with. However, The American Nightmare noted that he and Cena have different methods as locker room leaders: Rhodes, while Cenation’s leader waits in Gorilla and offers advice to wrestlers.
