I'd think highly of it. Raw could use a GM more right now, but I'd rather him go to Smackdown. He's already been on Raw, and after the Vickie angle is up he'd make a nice replacement.
I'd rather see him working with the talent there as well.

I still would love to see him try to slowly "take-over" WWE by getting all the superstars on his brand threaten to quit unless Vince gives Bischoff more power in the company or something.

I would be all for it. I'd prefer it on Raw though, as Raw has no GM and most of the guys currently on Raw didn't work with Bisch during his first run. Also, I like Edge/Vickie, and while I know it can't go on forever, I think it can go on for awhile longer (in this hypothetical bring Eric back scenario, it would go on longer than we are talking about in bringing back Eric, therefore he needs to go to Raw.

I strongly believe a Jericho "takover" of GM and corporate power would work now. Bischoff would be a great partner for it

If Bischoff ever did return to the WWE, this is a role that I'd really like to see him in. Some might think it unneccessary, but I would not be opposed to The Bisch championing the "WCW" name.

Since the WWE bought them out, WCW has been swept under the rug. For the most part, it has been made to look like a joke. ECW got a resurgence and its title restored to health. What about WCW? Bischoff could help Chris Jericho win the World Heavyweight Championship for a third time, and then have Jericho start calling himself a "five-time WCW Champion."

Even if a brief angle, it could be pretty entertaining. To explain how Bischoff gets back into the WWE, you could have Shane McMahon sign him and unleash him upon Stephanie just as a way of letting her know that he isn't going to take her disrespect lying down. Shane bought the WCW name, so he could very easily lend it to Bischoff to use.

What's with the thread? Is there some rumour going round that Bischoff may come back...?

Regardless, anything with Bischoff would be great.

I had a moment of inspiration, and now all I need is for you to get naked and jump into the kiddie pool full of pudding with Kane Knight.

In other words a kiddie pool full of Kane Knight?

Yeah, I know it's not likely going to get off the ground, but if it did (note that I stressed that I do not think it is likely at all), I would be very curious to see where a Bischoff run promotion would go. Especially if they had ties to Hulk Hogan's stardom (which, like the man or not, is pretty fucking huge), and the whole CCW thing going on.

It'd be like TNA, but with actual money.

It'd be awesome, Bischoff has never failed to entertain me during his WWE stints.

Bischoff's time is over. The time to do the take over angle was six years ago.

Not really, people were fed up with the WWE VS ECW/ WCW at that time, plus the NWO angle. Bring it back, it's fresh.

No it isn't. All of those people now are old and grey. WWE missed the boat on it.

WCW has been buried by the WWE in every way possible now. Even if they were to bring WCW back it would just be WWEised and therefore be terrible...Again.

He still is in possession of the Hulk Hogan empire, so I'd love him to show up to Hulks music and legally come out as Hulk Hogan.

Most of the time I don't understand the love for Bischoff. Bringing him in always has potential, but it never ever works out.

Such an entertaining man. With the black hair, he was such a sleazy boss, but when he got all gray, I was a mark for "I don't take shit from anyone!" Eric.

If they do a payoff to the "Vince McMahon crippled" angle, Bischoff being responsible would be as good as anything else, I think.

So "terrible".
