Pre-Show Stalwart
So, I think Eric Bischoff is a talented guy. I actually think that he is a great on air character and portrays the slimy, egotistical character really well. (It might be because that is a true persona). I also think he has some talent as a producer and is a good man to have with some input on creative. I think that being with Hulk Hogan is bad for him. Not only on screen but off. I think he is so in awe of the man that he cannot say no to him. But, if you look back to the days when he was in WWE without him, I think he came off as a great GM and on air persona.
So how can he freshen up his character and make his presence more meaningful in TNA. Currently, he runs immortal, but clearly plays second fiddle to Hogan. We've seen this before. A large group of older guys doing the power struggle thing. Bischoff ran the NWO and they were a bunch of older guys not wanting to give up their spots with a few young guys to keep it fresh. Same with Immortal. Eventually, Sting will win this battle, Dixie will get her company back, and Hogan will be red and yellow, brother. So where does that leave Bischoff?
Where I'd go, would be to make him a manager. Give him a heel group of wrestlers and let him be the mouthpiece. It doesn't have to be a true stable, but more like the Heenan Family. Each guy can cut their own promo, with Bischoff. Here's where I'd make it a little fresher for him. Bischoff always runs with the vets. But, what I'd do is have him pandering for clients and have all the vets turn him down. I'd have him finally have to reach out to the younger guys. I'd start with Gunner. Obvious connection with Immortal. Gunner needs a mouthpiece and bischoff would be great. Then, I'd bring in some guys for him to manage. Possibly, Natural Selection from NWA Hollywood. Brian Cage and Shaun Recker. (P.S. I think Recker will be a star and he reminds me a bit of a combo of Ric Flair/Dusty Rhodes in some promo work) Use his influence to get title shots for guys that really don't deserve them. Piss of the vets. But use his talents for talking on the mic to help build young guys.
