I remember reading that his latest Scott Baio project got picked up for a second season so I am thinking he's probably off working on that and not gone for good sadly.

No Hogan, No Bischoff? Get Dixie off TV and things might be good again.

Thinking about it, Bischoff and Hogan signed at the same time so it would be a little odd if they gave Eric a longer deal than the guy he represents the business interests of. If he signed his deal on the 27th of October in 2009 when TNA announced his signing, his contract will officially expire in a couple of days so there's not much point having him book the post bound for glory Impact when they'll be beginning to sow the seeds for storylines for the coming year.
Expect him to start running down TNA and making excuses for his failures on the 28th, or when the first Impact sirs after his release is made official. He'll do a Hulk Hogan and retweet lots of messages about how amazing he is and how Impact now sucks without him from people who desperately crave celebrity approval.

Is TNA paying him while he is gone?

Back at the Impact Zone, AJ as champ, possible return of the 6 sided ring, and Hogan/Bischoff gone...
So we're just gonna pretend the last four years didn't happen huh?

A little more from PWInsider:
During the afternoon meeting, the TNA talent roster was told that going forward Eric Bischoff would be working with the company "from home". There were quite a few that thought the terminology was a euphemism for Bischoff's departure, but there's no official word if he's actually been removed from power or not.
Bischoff was not in attendance at TNA Bound for Glory

Wes Briscoe is way better than Garrett Bischoff lmao. Wes's only fault is being goofy looking and I'll never understand why people make his suckitude more than it is. Its Wes that actually makes good enhancement talent and I'd never want him to rise further than that but Garrett sucks even too much for that.
Anyway I hope this is true and that Garrett "Lil Nepotism" Bischoff follows him right out.

Wes Brisco faced Kurt Angle inside a steel cage at one of their biggest shows, in one of the big feuds going into a show ...
lol
no wonder this company is failing.

Should go back to WWE and be the kayfabe "WWE President" once the current storyline ends. Nah. I'm bored of Eric Bischoff's onscreen personality to the point where I'd never want to see him again honestly. He's a good heel but thats kinda missing the point of a "WWE president" personality I think, a "WWE President" shouldn't be an obnoxious heel he really shouldn't have too much of a screen presence or personality at all so as not to take any of the spotlight. Once the current WWE storyline is over I really hope they drop spotlight hogging authority figures that appear on every show and get involved with feuds with the wrestlers forever. They still need someone to lay down the important decisions, but someone who can lay them down impartially and without getting involved with the wrestlers as much as possible. Bischoff doesn't work in that roll in my opinion.

I figure they'll never have a neutral authority figure in WWE, so they may as well merge the GM roles into a president, and Bischoff is the only guy in wrestling other than Vince McMahon who has credibility IMO as an on-screen authority figure. Way more than HHH and Stephanie.

Why didn't whoever PWInsider's source is just go and ask Garrett what the real story is?

"Dear head of TNA Creative, have I got a gimmick idea for you!"

Who is even left to do the booking at this point? Bully Ray? Yeah I'm getting pretty confused who is doing what at this point. Every name I hear that is involved in creative, seems like once I've figured it out, I hear some months later they're gone.

Why the Garrett hate? He's not nearly as bad as Brisco and could one day become a great enhancement talent. To be honest, I see nothing in him. I thought Wes was better, but that's not saying much. I want Wes Briscoe to have a pretty pretty princess gimmick. Just a brute Angelica from Rugrats. A big dude who acts like a spoiled whiny little girl. His voice and hair is perfect for it. It could be gold.
