Can't remember if it was actually explained in the Monday Night Wars DVD but how did Eric Bischoff manage to actually get the results to the taped episodes of Raw during the early years of Raw being taped?

Did he send people to WWF events and had them send the results of the matches to him or somehow got access of the tapes from an inside source working with the USA Network?

Good Q. I am slowly getting thru 'Contoversy Creates Cash' but I don't think that will reveal anything. I think Bischoff had his ways. 'Email' was existant back then believe it or not.

Internet newsboards were around back in 96, right? Couldn't have been that hard.

It wasnt really until 98/99 that he was pushing out results and they were certainly internet sites posting spoilers.

Also, how hard would it be to hear about it from fans, or guys in the back, or just going through the circles they knew.

Bischoff wrote for WWE back in 1998.
