5 times Vince McMahon saved the careers of his rivals

#1 Eric Bischoff

Bischoff with McMahon

There wasn't anyone else who would've topped this list! Eric Bischoff is the guy who went out of his way to make sure that WWE would become a part of history.

Backed by Ted Turner's money, Bischoff brought in WCW Monday Nitro as a direct competitor to WWE's Raw. This led to the dawning of quite possibly the most exciting era in the history of professional wrestling.

For a period of more than 80 weeks, Nitro beat Raw in weekly ratings, and there were times when it seemed as if WWE would be bought off by the competition. Ultimately, Vince McMahon emerged victoriously and bought WCW.

A year later, he brought in Eric Bischoff as the GM of Monday Night Raw, to the absolute shock of the wrestling world. The image of Vince raising Bischoff's hand up in the air has now become an iconic still.
