Tell you what.

tell me

Bischoff was a bad booker who had too much money and too many stars. Paul Heyman was a great booker with not enough money and not enough stars.

ECW would have died in 1995.

By having Hogan and Nash be egotistical fucks and not want to job to him.

Actually now that I'm thinking about it, if Bischoff owned ECW, it probably wouldn't have had money problems, he likely would have gotten some sort of investors involved and a better TV deal.

 

[Barry Poppins]

The product would have looked like even worse ass tho.

 

[Barry Poppins]

People forget, Bischoff came from the Verne Gagne camp of booking.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Would certainly be an interesting thought exercise if Heyman ran WCW and Bischoff ECW.

 

[Barry Poppins]

But I fear that Heyman would have probably run WCW worse than Bischoff did by the end. Bischoff was a much better businessman than Heyman was, but Heyman was miles ahead as a booker.

I don't think we would've gotten Hogan in WCW... maybe I remember it wrong, but Bischoff was a huge part of that signing, right?

Bischoff had to convince Turner to buy Hogan's contract, not WCW itself.

The two fused together with their good traits in tact probably would be something else
