I thought the story was JR treated Bischoff like crap when he was his underling then fled in panic when Bischoff was promoted over his head rather than risk getting his comeuppance. JR has done a great job selling the good ol' JR character, but a fair number of people he works along side seem to grow to despise him, Bischoff, Russo, Ferrara, even Vince himself, and the 'hates southerners' thing is always thrown out there as the reason but it's kind of hard to buy, I'm more inclined to believe JR is an ass if you work for him and have your own ideas. Eric and JR did not get along and it was similar to why a lot of wrestling guys didn't like Eric when he first started; they didn't view him as part of the business. But JR also got a lot of heat because he really pushed for Bill Watts to be hired before Eric and he acted like a bigshot when Watts got there, so when Watts was fired JR had a lot of heat. But Bischoff has admitted he felt that the WCW shows looked too southern, and when he got the go ahead for Nitro, he took steps to make it look less regional.

JR does seem like a bit of a jerk to be honest. On his podcasts and any interview he does he comes across as really condescending.
