Earlier, he used to work as a TV announcer at American Wrestling Association (AWA) until the company closed its doors in 1991. Over time, Bischoff got a good hold of the wrestling industry and he soon applied for WWE.

However, he failed to get into it but luckily got in WCW, the rival promotion of WWE in the 90s.

In 1993, Bischoff was the one who made WCW a recognizable company to bring top names from WWE, like Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Lex Luger, and many more. WCW even gave a tough competition to WWE for a short time.

Over the years, the ‘Eazy E’ built his empire and personality, signing multiple deals with many wrestling federations. Moreover, he was the one behind the ideology of introducing the nWo into WCW.

The ‘Eazy E‘ has come a long way since WCW. In 2016, Eric made his return to WWE, becoming the executive producer of Friday Night SmackDown.
