Vince McMahon’s famous “You’re fired!” quote can be seen in various GIFs, but his firing of Eric Bischoff on the December 5, 2005 episode of WWE RAW is probably the most popular.

After a three-and-a-half-year run as a WWE authority figure, it was time for Bischoff’s villainous character to be relieved of his duties as RAW General Manager.

The 30-minute segment, known as The Trial of Eric Bischoff, saw several WWE Superstars give their opinion on how well the former WCW executive had performed in his General Manager position.

Towards the end of the segment, Judge Vince McMahon agreed with Bischoff’s suggestion that John Cena should put his WWE Championship on the line in an Elimination Chamber match at New Year’s Revolution.

In doing so, he also informed the RAW GM that he would not be in charge when the PPV took place.

“You will all see it [Elimination Chamber match]. I will see it. Millions all over the world will see it. It’s just unfortunate, Mr. Bischoff, that you won’t. Eric Bischoff… YOU’RE FIRED!”

Bischoff then received an Attitude Adjustment from Cena before being thrown into the back of a garbage truck by Vince McMahon.
