I love Eric but his biggest flaw was following Hogan blindly when Hulk secretly cared about nothing and no one but how much he could squeeze out of Turner's bank account.
I like Eric a lot. I do wish he would just come clean about Starrcade 97 and the finger poke of doom, but honestly, he comes clean about more stuff than most people in the business do. I was a WCW fan for years before he took over and anyone else that was a wrestling promoter. There were good things and bad things. I do think that if Eric could go back in time, knowing what he knows now that he would do a few things differently.. He did a lot of good stuff though, but I do think his first big mistake was when he brought Hogan to WCW. He didn’t make WCW look like the big leagues. He made WWF look more like the big leagues. When you bring Hogan and you take your top baby faces like Sting and Luger make them his sidekicks, and then just have him run over all of your top heels it made WCW look like it was even smaller I felt. It seemed like Hogan had a tougher time in WWF than he did in WCW if wrestling was a shoot. I know that the PPV rates were through the roof for his first match in WCW versus Ric Flair. There’s no denying that. But he would’ve also had a huge buy rate if the main event for that PPV was Hogan and Sting vs Flair and Anderson . When you blow your load on his first day in the company, now you have nothing to work towards. Starrcade 94 should have been the place where Hogan beat Ric Flair for the title. The first PPV let that be a tagteam match because back then you could get away with having a tag match as the main event as long as all four guys were top guys. Then have Hogan chase him to Starrcade. Between the clash of the champ and the other PPV’s there you could’ve had a couple matches where Hogan was getting ready to beat him and then he ends up winning by disqualification because of outside interference so Hogan would win the match but not the championship etc. And then by the time you get to Starrcade you have a reason to have a cage match to keep people like Arron out and there’s no disqualification, this is just going to be Hogan versus Ric Flair, and there has to be a winner by pinfall or submission. But the way they went about it the best part of Hogan as a baby face came and went his first six weeks in the company and then most diehard WCW fans really didn’t like watching WCW. Tell Scott Hall showed up in the summer of 96.
Yes but Hogan would have heard that and said that doesn't work for me Brother and axed it. That program would have made big money having Hogan chase for the title but he really just went with let me beat everyone immediately
I’m starting to notice the similarities between AEW & TNA as far as story arc. The head of the promotion losing a bunch of their father’s money. Mistakingly thinking they could legitimately try to battle with, or somehow beat WWE instead of just being an alternative.
Anyone want to share their guesses as to who Eric was referring to when he mentioned the specific talent who was cashing in their unused plane tickets? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head but if I do I'll come back and edit my comment. Edit: Mick Foley aka Cactus Jack seems a likely candidate but I'm not sure if he was in WCW or ECW at the time.
KC, you Should have done another Timeline with Eric, this timeline was very interesting, I remember buying the DVD still have it. Wish you would still do these.
He never did, that's a lie. He lost 9 million in 1995 (his profit claim is simply because he never understood what EBITDA was) and the "profitable" years only happened because he shifted all financially losses from one year to the next and to the next. Hence why the promotion lost 9 million in 1999 again and 64 million in 2000 (And never forget that EA alone paid WCW 10 million dollars that year for the video game rights!)
@@ninowaves4061 you're so right, sad but true. That podcast was already starting to fall off even before his son's death. Which I'm not making light of, but it's true.
always laugh when i watch this shoot eric says some funny shit! The part where he says hogan worked 300 days a year,double shots at the weekend pmsl yeah maybe his first year in wwf but not at his height
I know it’s part of Erics Midwest folksy charm shtick but I’m so sick of that ”just one dollar profit” story of his. Who the heck would be happy about spending millions and going through all that effort to make ONE DOLLAR?!?
The dollar was to make a point. No one in Turner believed WCW was worth it. He drug the company out of debt turn a profit. When a company has lost millions of dollars for several years, reaching even or better is a massive success.
@@phballer99 I give him full credit for that, but…..why not set it a little higher. I mean, why not TWO DOLLARS? He didn’t want to seem greedy? I just feel like he borrowed the premise from Trading Places for the story, which to me seems like an Eric kind of movie.

Eric played a part in making wrestling cool
I mean, he did fire someone who became the greatest wrestler of all time.
I love Eric but his biggest flaw was following Hogan blindly when Hulk secretly cared about nothing and no one but how much he could squeeze out of Turner's bank account.

Hogan's hold over Bischoff, to this day, is baffling. I know it's crass to suggest they might have [had] one of "those" relationships, but still...
Eric is almost the literal poster child for failing upward

This is honestly a masterclass in running a wrestling company.
Yeah it's the opposite of running a class in reuploading the same shoots over and over again and passing them off as if they are new (to the channel)
Masterclass is too big of a word for you.

Surely KC must have a higher resolution than 360?
I know was filmed for DVD's but the quality looks like it's heavily aliased.
Theyve recycled this shoot for the 3rd time, the same video file can only survive RUclips's upload compression so many times

Paul Heyman. Paul talked about it on another show. It's why he had to leave WCW
My understanding is that this was a thing they all did back in the day, but yeah, I'm pretty sure this specific instance was Heyman.
KC, you Should have done another Timeline with Eric, this timeline was very interesting, I remember buying the DVD still have it. Wish you would still do these.

And seven years later, it was all over...
Can't wait for you guys to post Kevin Nash's 95 and 97 timelines again. I missed them the first 37 times but the notifications didn't work
Eric bischoff made Wcw profitable

@@ShadowAngel-lt8nwSo WCW never made money in 96/97/98? They felt like a part of Americana back then, but hey, I don't know much about finance.

We need a timeline with Kevin Nash for the hot summer of 92.
He wasn’t even a player in 92 unless I’m missing something
