Okay what's he done since 2001? Even his success in WCW is based on 2 good not great years and wasting a lot of people's money in the other 6 years he was in charge.

Eric really gave up a steady AEW paycheck to jump on the hate grift and get a couple thousand from WWE every year or so huh

If only bitchoff had a dad who could eternally fund his wrestler daycare center.
>>
>>16791687
this is the crux of it btw bischoff had one appearance on AEW and that was it then bischoff just started ragging on them week to week. which is fine because WWE has now bailed him out of multiple failed business ventures about 3-4 times.

nooooo reeee you're supposed to pretend that tony khan did this all on his own with no help from anyone reeeeeee

>That was Kevin Sullivan
people dont realize sullivan after retiring from wrestling worked behind the scenes in wcw as a booker for over 10+ yrs until they folded, ive never even heard bischoff refer to himself as a booker. all eric did was give every wwf wrestler ridiculously high guaranteed contracts. everybody was laughing at eric back then. jj dillion who after working in the wwf front office returned to wcw and thought eric was out of his mind for paying those dudes so much
>>
>>16791727
>All these losers trying to dunk on Bischoff when none of them ever increased business as much as he did in WCW
More importantly, without Bischoff the whole attitude era would have never happened. Vince would have kept chugging along, with gimmicky jobbers based around some job they once had before, like the goon and tl hopper. The new generation, that drove fans away would have kept turning them away and the out of touch old man, obsessed with fart jokes would have kept at it til they all left. Much like all of the fans that left, after WCW folded and never came back.
>>
>>16791687
That would mean something if Tony wasn't dumb enough to hire Meltzer. Hey numbnuts, the fucking 100 week no milly is approaching

no. wcw wasnt the nwa show that was on before it. ted turner bought it and turned it into wcw. all eric did was buy a bunch of big name dudes from the wwf at the time. wcw had never had a profitable year until 95 or 96 and it was only because eric cancelled all house shows. beating raw in the ratings didnt mean anything when you look at the other factors going on
>Blame Bischoff for everything wrong in WCW
he was a major reason why the business failed so when talking about eric his failures far outweigh his successes
>>
>>16792854
>In 1995, Bischoff made WCW profitable for the first time ever
i just said this but let me say it again it was only for a very short time because he cancelled all house shows. eric handing out multi-million dollar guaranteed contracts put them back in the red and it was the beginning downward spiral they could never recover from [sting losing to hogan in an extremely awkward match after a year of hype! lol]
>>
>>16792911
Wcw was a southern wrestling mess. EB signed huge names, revolutionized tv production, & creative. He took wcw from the outhouse to the penthouse. EB did have a lot to do with wcw failures. But he had create something first to fuck it up.
>>
>>16792806
>an employee working within a single division of a complex publicly traded corporate conglomerate with many people to answer to
He booked money-losing shows at a biker rally because he had to answer to the highers up, not because he was wasteful mark that wanted to play hell's angel with Hulk and had no vision for the future? That's wild!

KEK. Shit must be really grim over at AEW if Dave's acting this insecure and pissy desu
>>
>>16792936
You're describing Ted Turner's moves, which Eric has taken credit for for decades because he's a two-bit carney and you believe him because you're an idiot.
>>
If Tony listened to Eric and not Metzler, AEW would actually be beating WWE. Metzler knows this and he has to act like he hasn't caused the downfall of one of the best opportunities got a WWE competitor
>>
>>16792952
EB signed HH & Macho man. He implemented the modern wrestling production we see today & more adult stories and characters. Where's the lie?

Smoky mountain literally had the Gangstas with New Jack shouting out OJ in his promos before walking out in the bumfuck south with actual racists
>>

Also, the live event business was turned around by former WWF promoter, Zane Bresloff. Eric didn't do shit expect piss away turner's cash.

I don't think u know what implement means. EB put into effect modern wrestling tv production, & more adult characters & stories in wcw. May not of pioneered these things like your heros in bingo halls but EB did it in a big time box office level.
>>
>>16793327
Not giving eb credit would be like not giving vince credit. Just a hater.

The merger & hiring Russo had more to do with wcw death than any creative decision by Eric.

Revisionist bullshit, shows what a great reporter Dave is, can't even get a single thing fact checked before he cries like a bitch.

Eric Bischoff stopped being in charge of WCW in like September 1999. WCW didn't go out of business until March 2001.

WCW also walked about from about $45 million to sell WCW just because they didn't want it on TV anymore.

Dave's argument is retarded, Tony would have to declare bankruptcy tomorrow if Shad cut him off.

>>16792674
Do you even watch your own show AEWTIST? He has been on Dynamite 4 different times, plus he was on Rhodes to the Top, an AEW show.

What business ventures has WWE bailed him out of lol, you are just making shit up.

Guys I'm worried about Dave coming from the top rope so much. Can he handle it at his age? Worried he might get injured. Maybe he should stick to second rope moves
>>
>>16792911
Both of your responses show how uneducated on the subject you are. Nobody but Bischoff EVER turned a profit in WCW. He got the job in 1994, then turned a profit in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998.

Before they relieved him of his position in 1999, they were forecasted to turn a profit, but after he was gone WCW cancelled a PPV on New Years Eve because AOL was afraid of Y2K. Had they not cancelled that PPV, they would have been profitable for 5 of the 6 years Bischoff was in charge.
>>
>>16794203
He wasn't fired, because they were still paying him, but he was no longer in charge.

They turned a profit because they cut house shows and received rights fees worth millions for programming. That made them instantly profitable.

>Before they relieved him of his position in 1999, they were forecasted to turn a profit
You are a fucking retard. Their live event and ppv business had already collapsed at that point. Kind of hard to turn a profit when nobody pays money to see your product. And they cancelled the New Years Eve ppv because it was fucking idiotic and nobody wanted to work on the biggest New Year's for that century.
>>
>>16794545
Factually he was not fired. He lost his position, but was still getting paid. It is why they were able to call him and tell him to come back to work doing something else 6 months later.

>>16794704
>HE STOPPED DOING THE THINGS THAT WAS MAKING WCW LOSE MONEY, THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE DID ANYTHING TO MAKE A PROFIT!
Actually, that is exactly exactly what it means.

>THEY WERE MAKING LESS MONEY THEN THEY USED TO, AND NOBODY GETTING PAID MONEY TO WORK SHOUKD HAVE TO WORK IN NEW YEARS EVE!!!!
Nigga do you even know how business works lol

Yeah if he hired bischoff something terrible like getting a show cancelled, downgrading to theaters from stadiums and getting two years of no milly could have happened.

Bischoff was better than Tony, howeverbeit
>>
>>16795358
If you have a huge payroll and you no longer have revenue coming in, you will lose a lot of money very quickly. Keep repeating that to yourself until it sinks in. And the new years eve 99 ppv was canceled because talent was refusing to work. You are a retard.
>>
>>16795716
LOL where do you come up with this shit?

AOL was worried about Y2K, Time Warner was worried about liability from fans in attendance if Y2K happened. WCW wrestlers could not just cancel a show you fucking retard.
>>
>>16795716
Also, WCW never had a payroll 1/4th as high as GAYEW with 5 times the number of viewers.

But yeah, Tony is the one who knows what he is doing lol
>>
Say what you want about Bischoff but he at least ran a wrestling organization. Dave thinks he could but whenever he's asked "how do you fix AEW's lack of attendance" he'll never give you a straight answer its as if he doesn't have a real solution

The WCW payroll was revealed during the Hogan lawsuit and is easy to find online even for a tard like you.

he’s not gonna put him over like that. dave ratioed bischoff without even tagging him. not dave’s fault eric missed his spot.
>>
>>16794373
he’s on stem cells
>>
I think AEW has been in the shitter for years and Tony Khan is a joke, but why do people act like Bischoff shitting on them means anything? WWE has paid him for an appearance more recently than AEW has, so of course he will be on their side, thats how carnies work.

>>16797489
You mean the one from 2000 that shows there were only 6 wrestlers besides Hogan who were contracted over a million a year?

Bill Goldberg $2,376,247.46
Bret Hart $1,311,545.80
Diamond Dallas Page $1,176,877.77
Kevin Nash $1,595,131.40
Lex Luger $1,326,057.00
Sting $1,447,980.00

AEW has half that many JUST in the DeathFag Riders!

At least you were right about one thing, it was incredibly easy to find out that WCW's payroll was WAY FUCKING LESS than GAYEW's, you dumb crippled bitch LMFAO

Except it really does. Meltzer can't stand the fact that Bischoff is a more successful wrestling promoter than Tony R. Khanetty ever will be.
