I'd love to see him back as the Raw GM again. Thoughts?

As a WWE character I always loved Eric Bischoff, but I think the ship has sailed for him or for all authority type figures in the WWE, period. I'd like to see the move away from an "on-air authority figure giving orders" format for a bit and go back to how it was in the late 80s and early 90s.

Eric Bischoff shows up and announces himself as new GM of Raw....3 minutes later Brock returns and annihilates him and he's never seen again would work.

He was great for his time, but I never need to see him again.
1) He'd just be doing the same thing again which is a smaller facet of 2)we don't NEED evil GMs or GMs at all anymore. That horse has been in a bottle of Elmer's for at least ten years.

I want to see an evil authority figure that leaves the top faces alone because he accepts that they're the bread winners, so he instead abuses his power by screwing with midcarders. |

I'm just tired of the entire concept. It lends itself to hackneyed, lazy writing, and the same formula we've gotten since 98. It WAS great, I just never need to see it again. I'd love to go back to neutral off-camera or seldom appearing authority figures if at all possible. The Tunney mold if you have to have a guy appear; but I'd take some nebulous off-screen board of directors that have no need to screw with anybody. |

Eh. What all is there left for him to do?
He did serious angles, he did comedy, he made out with Steph once for literally no reason. What's left?

I'd like to see the move away from an "on-air authority figure giving orders" format for a bit and go back to how it was in the late 80s and early 90s. I'm really tired of having authority figures too, but I don't think there's any sign of them disappearing forever. HHH and Steph are on TV now as much as any authority figure has ever been. That said it is worth noting that since HHH and Steph are positioned to run the company in real life and in kayfabe it doesn't make sense to have a different authority figure. Even then I could see WWE wanting to change things up to keep it fresh. Also, as HHH and Steph take up more responsibilities they may just not have enough time to be on TV that much. |

He'll be back. He has unfinished business with Steph. Sexual business!

I think he'd be good as a guest commentator or host for some classic WWE Network stuff. Kinda like how he did a couple episodes of Legends of Wrestling. We don't need him as an on-air character on Raw or Smackdown, but he's got way too damn much historical and insider knowledge to share.

If you watched 5 minutes of TNA in 2010 or 2011, you wouldn't be wishing him back.

Just a HOF induction and then he can f*** right off to Wyoming and fondle himself to Scott Baio's newest show that no one watches.

I would like WWE to one day have an authority figure like Jim Cornette during the early part of his TNA run, where he'd address the entire roster and make decisions on every feud in a 5 minute promo. Triple H brings out the entire roster every week and sometimes doesn't even mention any one of them.
