5 Best General Managers in WWE History

Eric Bischoff

Eric Bischoff pushed the boundaries with the McMahons during his run as GM

Say what you will about the former executive in the AWA, WCW, TNA and eventually, WWE. He made things interesting. Bischoff has been accused in the past for the demise of both WCW and part of the issues related to TNA. What Bischoff could do is create drama, chaos and controversy – which in the end, created cash for AWA and then WCW before the end of its role in the business.

Bischoff was one of the best heel general managers of all time, taking on Ric Flair in WCW, which was a real-life struggle between the two over Flair’s contract and WCW holdings, and later Vince McMahon over control of the company (Kayfabe). He is credited with creating the Elimination Chamber PPV during his reign in WWE.
