World Class Wrestling
Eric Bischoff has been a quiet millionaire for years, keeping it to himself. Waiting for something to do with it. With a lot of books coming out to the public and revealing the WWE's darkest secrets, it didn't look too good for Mr. McMahon and his company, as well as it's superstars. On December 10, 2007, it was announced to the public that Eric Bischoff bought out some TNA contracts. Many fans were scratching their hands to why. It was later announced on December 17, 2007 that WWE had folded due to complications and many superstars, including top stars, were looking for work.
December 19, 2007, it was finally announced that Eric Bischoff was opening a new wrestling promotion. World Class Wrestling, with the initials being the exact same of the company he once worked for, WCW.
On February 2, 2008 - April 1, 2008, pay-per-views were set up, arenas were rented for certain dates and the roster was completed. The first ever WCW show will be Redemption, on April 20, 2008.
