| Bischoff is king of Raw, it's that simple. The guy is brilliant. But I'll agree he's in a bit of a "rut" regarding his character. The Johnny Nitro thing had potential but disappeared, the Eugene thing has at least included him.. but you guys are right - to reach his full (and obvious) potential he needs to have a foil. Heyman is the man for this, he's great too. The historical thing, as pointed out, would heighten it, but we need something to trigger the brand "war", and Kurt Angle losing his position as GM.
Perhaps having him come into harm's way and causing further 'treatment'. Then having Vince re-hire Heyman as he was proven to be good. Then, Bischoff could do an "Annual Review" of Raw. This could of course help put him over as face or heel, deciding on what WWE wanted to do. Have him perhaps evaluate superstars, and then at the end, make a sniping comment at how Raw still kicks SD's ass, just like WCW beat WWF for 86 weeks straight (Or however long it was.).
Then Heyman could retaliate, and a war could ensue between the brands. I remember at the start of the split with the Chuckabilly wedding, and the attack of 3 Minute Warning and Bischoff revealing himself as the vicar. That rocked.. if they could re-create that somehow - perhaps have the Dudleys do a similar spot for Bischoff, and then have them both try to create the best shows they could. Bidding wars for superstars, consistent attempts to create better matches on TV and PPV... the possiblities are endless. |
