Bishoff is very talented creatively, business wise he isn't good at all. The whole Aces & 8's is them trying to attract adult fans and they do that. Bishoff's ideas though are regulated so what you see isn't all his idea, you have to remember that, his idea has to pass through a series of people before they can air it. And it gets twisted and changed from his idea to the product we see.
The ratings sank because Bishoff was responsible for business, and because of this he was enticed by beating WWE in ratings, if he had remained on Creative and they had employed a good business representative We would all be tuning into WCW each week, I believe WWE would either have died out or become a regional show
