Eric Bischoff is setting the record straight on Vince McMahons creative legacy.
The former WCW president turned WWE Hall of Famer addressed the long-running narrative that McMahon was a creative genius on his 83 Weeks podcast with Conrad Thompson. While Bischoff said he respects McMahons impact on the wrestling business, he pushed back on the idea that WWEs most famous boss was always the man behind the ideas.
Bischoff, who famously created the nWo in WCW before McMahon later brought the faction into WWE, explained that he never personally witnessed McMahon generating groundbreaking ideas on his own.
Bischoff even referenced how McMahons 2002 storyline of bringing the nWo to WWE didnt land with fans, calling it stupid and confusing.
The former WCW bosss comments add to the debate over how much credit McMahon deserves for WWEs most iconic creative moves versus simply approving or shaping other peoples pitches.
