Bigger Impact on Wrestling: Heyman or Bischoff?

Heyman was by far a better writer. He put the details and week to week development of a story better than anyone!! He could take a crappy storyline and spice it up. He could make you care about a worthless storyline.

However Heyman seemed to needs someone get the ball rolling. That spot is where Eric wins. He saw long term very well and had brilliant ideas that changed and affected the wrestling world. He just didn't know how carry them from week to week and make his plan get the image he saw, tna is proof of this. The storyline start in a tremendous way but keeping the viewers interested enough to enjoy the payoff is not there.

I like your analysis as I feel both Bischoff and Heyman helped to revolutionize wrestling. Heyman was a great writer, but I do feel he was a bad judge of talent as we got some awful wrestlers from ECW, we also got great ones like Benoit, RVD, Guerrero, Taz, Awesome. He knew how to get the crowd into things. Eric Bischoff did that as well. WCW was on top for a long time before he forced Vince to change the way he was presenting wrestling, so Bischoff made Monday nights entertaining and then Vince took the ball in summer of 1998, but I have to give credit to all three of the heads of each company as they all are responsible for helping wrestling boom.
