Bischoff showcased the NJ3 and allowed them to get over through their work, the same way he did with Rey and Ultimo Dragon. They got time on Nitro and PPVs to shine, belts (Cruiser, TV, even US), angles (Benoit in the Horsemen, Dean vs Jericho, Dean vs Eddie vs Syxx). WWF grabbed Scorpio, give him lot of production, a stupid name, dancers, and he never got over and was a jobber 4 months into his stint. Bischoff was surely much better at promoting all these guys. He was much better letting Raven get over with his stuff.
Bischoff struck me as a lot more open-minded in his approach of the product. Really, if not for Bischoff, none of the NJ3 and Rey would have been grabbed by WWF. These guys were made by WCW and WWE only worked from there with Benoit, Rey and Eddie (although Eddie got awful stuff to work with early on with the Chyna nonsense). If Rey had not been pushed as the star of the cruiser division in WCW, the WWF would have never used him better than TAKA. Hell, they couldn't find a way to use Malenko, Saturn and Raven who were way over in WCW. Bischoff and WCW don't get enough credit for making those guys and allowing them to be used by WWF later on. They were too small and worked a style to far off from what WWF was used to to be used by Vince if WCW hadn't paved them the way.
Duke Droese was influenced by early ECW and TWA? He was working hardcore matches with blood & broken bottles? Really? First real ECW influence in WWF was Bret lifting up a Sabu table spot in his SS match with Diesel in 95.
