Should Eric Bischoff ever enter the Hall of Fame?

[M-A-G]

Simple enough question. I mean, aside from Verne Gagne no one else had really been able to bring the fight to Vince McMahon and his WWE promotion like Eric Bischoff. And he made no bones about wanting to be in charge of the number one promotion in the world. From offering big money deals to big name stars to implementing Nitro to utilizing production values efficiently to cheap shots at the competiton, Bischoff did more than his share for this business. He was able to bring together the right elements that brought WCW out of the red rut it was in since its inception and make it profitable. Certainly that's enough to qualify him for some sort of recognition. After all, Verne Gagne was inducted this year and he had never had anything to do with the WWE but his contributions to the business were worth noting.

However, much like Gagne, Bischoff was himself guilty of travelling down the wrong road at times. All of a sudden his ways caused a decline in the revenues and those big guaranteed money deals still needed to be paid off. The man was responsible for bringing in Bret Hart into the fold but that particular star went nowhere thanks to the way things were run backstage. More than one former WCW star has at least one negative story to tell about Mr. Bischoff and his regime. Perhaps his failures overshadow the success?

So what do you think? Yay or nay?
