#2 Eric Bischoff announced as an Authority Figure for the Weekly show
When you look at the All Elite Wrestling promotional material, the similarities with WCW Nitro are impossible to ignore. It's not only the flames that are similar, but also the fact that AEW is on the same network- TNT. So, if there's going to be a weekly show who better to have as an Authority Figure than Eric Bischoff?
Eric Bischoff did the heel Authority Figure gimmick even before Vince McMahon did so, on Nitro. He was also an Authority Figure on WWE RAW and is considered to be the best RAW General Manager of all time. His name has mainstream value, and he could be a valuable addition to the AEW Weekly product.
Just his inclusion into the mix could induce old-time fans to watch. A lot of fans, myself included, miss the good old days of Nitro.
