Guest Downhome Report post Posted July 27, 2002 The following is from the Torch Newsletter... "Eric Bischoff's contract with WWE is unique in comparison to virtually every recognized talent on the roster. While nearly all talent has multi-year guaranteed deals, Bischoff's contract is based on how well his angle on television goes. His contract is very short-term and his future all depends, like I said, on how well his angle gets over which gives him the incenative to work to the best of his ability." ...I've never heard of anything like that, but I guess it's an easy way out if they feel the need to bail on this idea. Sincerely, ...Downhome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Downhome Report post Posted July 27, 2002 So far, so good. Agreed, I hope they give it time to REALLY play out, to the extent of FINALLY having both shows totally truly split. I'm loving my WWE TV for now, so I have nothing to complain about! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted July 27, 2002 Too bad Steph and Triple H don't have this in their contracts Sorry, I don't mean to turn this into an other "I Hate Steph & Hunter" Tread. FeArHaVoC is NOT a Troll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted July 27, 2002 So, I guess this means Bischoff will be out of a job in 2 months? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted July 28, 2002 I trust the Torch Man...Bisch must have REALLY wanted to get his hand back into things...taking a contract like that after running another promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted July 28, 2002 Well that kinda shuts the door for Bischoff to get any power, its Do good or DIE basically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted July 28, 2002 Well, I think it's going pretty well so far. I like Bischoff's current on-air role, and I think the fans are as well, because he's a fresh face in WWE storylines. I hope he stays around for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted July 28, 2002 The tried to go the same route with the NWO but couldn't sign them like that. I wonder why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted July 28, 2002 Well, looks like Hogan shapened up and learned he's not King Shit anymore, as he's been putting over talent more in the past 4-5 months than he has in the past 10-15 years. Anyways, I will say this: I mark for Eric Bischoff the character, and even Eric Bischoff the promoter at times. But the moment he tries to destroy ANY aspect of wrestling or push friends, fuck him. That was off-topic, but I do mark-out for Uncle Eric's character. His faces are just great, man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted July 29, 2002 most likely that is going to happen. because as shane mcmahon said....if EB gets the chance, he's gonna screw mcmahon over. Well, I think he's pretty much fully a performer now. He's performing a caricature of his promoter/owner role from WCW, but he's sharing dressing rooms and other things with the rest of the wrestlers, at least so say the dirt sheet. So he appearantly knows his role, catchphrase not intended. I think it's like what he said in the Confidential interview. "I'm here because I think I have something to contribute. I think I can help. If I can't, I'm gone." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
