I think Bischoff's stint as Raw GM is an indication of how the casual fan views his role in WCW. Was that an accurate view? No. But does it show he had the potential to generates sales? Yes.

Working for the WWE was a completely different scenario than TNA though. There you had Bisch, long portrayed as the man that nearly killed the company, actually in a position of power on Raw. In TNA he's got to sink or swim on his own merit. There's no WCW v. WWF story for him to be relevant. It's just "Here's Eric Bischoff. I did these things in WCW, these things in WWE, and now I'm here." Will that generate sales? Remains to be seen.
