As the world's largest professional wrestling league today, WWE now has a market capitalization of more than $6 billion, and Lao Mai's own assets have reached $3.2 billion, such a wealth is no match in the wrestling world. WWE can come to this day is through countless setbacks, in the 90s, Lao Mai and a person once launched a life and death game between the company, this man who competed with him, that year almost let Lao Mai bankruptcy, almost swallowed WWE!
This person is Eric Bishev, the president of the WCW League. Compared with WWE, WCW is a rising star, but the strength of this alliance has always been stronger than WWE, and later even strongly suppressed WWE. All kinds of exaggerated plots, all kinds of wonderful competitions, countless excellent talents, WCW in all aspects of the year forced WWE to the end, so that it went to the lowest point.
At the lowest point of WWE, it was almost bankrupt, and the top names of the year had all defected, and only the first-line players were left with the mourners. In the face of such a good situation, WCW should have let WWE play it completely, but why has WWE become the biggest league in the wrestling world today? This has to start from the 3 "ancestors" of WCW that year, these 3 people are the nWo's big three Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Hook hogan.
The peak of WCW is brought up by nWo, and the lowest trough is also caused by nWo; why can 3 players play a company to death? This has to start with Bishev's business strategy. Seeing that Hogan's combination was invincible, Eric Bishev began to give them high-level positions. But I didn't think about it, these 3 bad old men were very bad, and since then they have begun to run amok in the background, what they are in the ring, what they are offstage. This move forced away countless players and buried hidden dangers for the company.
Despite this, Bi Xuefu and Huo Yuanjia, who were called "the first in Jinmen" by passers-by, had long been blinded by fame and ratings, thinking that they would be invincible in the world from now on. Such an idea is not good at all, Huo Yuanjia confirmed, Eric Bishev also confirmed, he did not expect that WCW has long begun to slowly collapse. Until he gave a speech in front of the TV: "Now, I challenge Old Mai to come to the ring and act like a real man, with me knife to knife, gun to gun, fair and fair to a game, a duel." 」 ”
In some ways, this speech put WCW to the end, while from another point of view, it was just a fuse to light the powder keg. Eric Bischev was too arrogant at the time, openly provoking Old Mai, but did not think that those WCW iron fans actually bought tickets to WWE in order to see what Old Mai answered. By WWE, they had long forgotten what they were going to do, because they had long been immersed in the plot of the players such as The Funeral, Steve Austen, and Dwayne Johnson, and at that time, WCW began to fry cold rice.
Since then, WCW has become worse than a day, and WWE has also moved from the position of the second oldest in the early years to the first, and later acquired WCW. It can be said that Eric Bishev played himself to death because of the various acts of death in that year, so that WCW and himself went bankrupt. In the years after the acquisition, Eric Bishev served as the plot manager at WWE, but did not have any real power. Now, years on, WWE has announced that Eric Bishev is about to return again.
Next week, Eric Bishev will be the corporate consul at WWE, and he is currently moving his family to Connecticut to facilitate his daily work. More than 20 years ago, Bishev, who owned WCW, was a heroic hero of the moment, but his improper employment and poor management completely collapsed his company. Now that he has been silent for many years, he has returned to the wrestling world again, but he is working in the company of his nemesis, the so-called thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, such a change is really lamentable.
