Going ahead, Opportunities and Personalities need to match

Bischoff mentioned how he knew that he was expected to say bad things about the WWE after his exit but did not really have anything to say except the fact that the company's needs and his personality did not match too much. Bischoff also added how he loves being challenged and likes to experiment, something that he was able to do in his time at the WCW. Under Eric Bischoff, the WCW became a massive hit in the late 90s and gave direct competition to WWE Raw, starting the Monday Night Wars.
