Eric Bischoff Question...

Recommended Posts

Guest Cole

Hi guys, I'm wondering as of May 1996 was Eric Bischoff acting as President Of WCW and Announcer? Or Just One? Or neither?

 

All help is greatly appreciated!

Both, or at least he was executive VP and later became president. As Joey Styles said "You ran the damn company or else no one would have ever given you a headset!"

Thank you very much!

 

One more, was Sister Sherri still managing Harlem Heat as of May 1996?

I don't think she rejoined the team until the summer of 1996.

You're right.

 

She returned just before Bash at the Beach that year.

Thanks! :)

 

I have one question about the Horsemen, going into Slamboree '96 the members of the Horsemen were Flair, Anderson and Benoit right? If I recall they were, since Pillman was taken out around SuperBrawl time...

 

Can anyone confirm?

Inasmuch as the Horsemen were together at that time, yes, it was Flair, Arn, and Benoit. They weren't really together at that point, though, with Arn doing the angle with the Dungeon of Doom and Benoit kind of being separated from the group a bit. They weren't truly a group again until Mongo joined *shudder* after the Great American Bash.

I feel this begs the question of who was worse as a horseman, Mongo or Roma?

At least the angle where Mongo joined the Horsemen was surprising and fairly well done. Roma joining just came off as him being a cheap replacement for Tully Blanchard (who everyone was expecting).

Whats worse is that Mongo won a singles title in WCW before Benoit did. I believe he won the US Title by either beating Jeff Jarrett or Alex Wright for it. Even scarier is that the crowd popped for the Mongo title win.

And then we suffered through Mongo in 1998, with him being especially unmotivated and beating Flock members over and over again without any real direction.

 

And who can forget the epic feud with the even more unmotivated British Bulldog?

Ah, the original hot coffee-feud.

Epic.
