I wanted to see what Bischoff would have done with WCW if he would have bought it before Vince. Just to see if Bisch learned from his mistakes.
I actually think the WWE is currently run almost the same way it would be if Bisch was in control.
Bisch was a mark for guys with star power. So that would mean HHH, HBK, Taker, Angle and so on would be the top guys....not much different.
Bisch hates tag team wrestling, so it wouldn't get much play....not much different.
Bisch did let the CW's work....so you'd probably have a more consistant role for the CW division at the beginning of the shows. They still wouldn't get over though, because they would be used as cannon fodder for big guys.....not much different.
I guess the other main difference is thqt Bischoff would likely still have guys like Goldberg, Austin, Hogan and Sting on the shows. He would get them just to be TV characters (only work once a week) but still put them in top positions. The thinking being, they will do TV numbers and theoretically should do PPV numbers (even if they actually dont).
On the other hand, if Bischoff was the guy who put Nitro head up with RAW, he is the guy who killed squash matches on TV and made every segment mean something, he also gave us PPV (sorta) quality main events every week on TV. He also introduced the CWs to a major national audience, and of course he had the homeruns with NWO and Goldberg. So there's a track record there to make you think he could do some good.
Of course he's never had the success Vince has had, so they're probably better off where they are.
