#1 The nWo
The most well known of all Eric Bischoff's ideas. This one has been talked about to death, but here is once more.
Trending
Eric Bischoff wanted to do an invasion angle where WCW was being taken over by a group of wrestlers who were essentially from another company. The idea was inspired by an NJPW vs. UWFi match from an NJPW show in 1996. The original idea was for the nWo to be portrayed as a separate entity from WCW, with them even potentially having their own show and running their own Pay-Per-Views, the latter of which briefly did happen.

Former WWE stars who jumped ship to WCW, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, would join forces with surprise partner Hulk Hogan for the biggest heel turn ever at WCW Bash at the Beach 1996 and history was made. With their black and white gear, attitudes, beat downs on other stars and expanding group, it soon became cool to be bad. The nWo quickly became the hottest thing in wrestling, catapulted WCW to the top of the wrestling world and blew WWE right out of the water.
The nWo was what contributed most to WCW's success and ratings victories over WWE, and the biggest part of it all came from Eric Bischoff.
