[1999-01-11-WCW-Nitro] Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff

Talk about it here.

Vignettes of Eric Bischoff's day in Flair's office. Where WWE does vignettes better than WCW is that WCW vignettes are shot like commercials or something with no real point of view. Bischoff gets in a dig that Ric Flair and Jim Ross ran WCW in 1991 and couldn't put 400 people in a building. Yeah, Flair and Jim Ross were running WCW. Anyway, I love that Flair has his robe on the wall at Bischoff's office. Flair makes clear that he's going to make Bischoff's life as miserable as he possibly can for the next 90 days. His new job is to work on the ring crew. Flair says, "Go get 'em, Easy E. Isn't that what Nash calls you?" as he leaves. KLONDIKE BILL yells at Eric for a while, but Bischoff ends up gimmicking the ring without anyone noticing.

This was weirdly produced but had enough enjoyable moments that I liked it. The highlight was Klondike Bill and Eric going at it with him setting up the ring. It also plays well into the end of the night.

Man you would have thought Flair would have a better office than that working for Turner. I liked the security guard saying "please sit down Mr. Bischoff" and then Eric asking does he know who he is and the guy says no. The Klondike Bill stuff was classic.

I guess Bischoff namedropping Jim Herd would have flown over viewers' heads. Bischoff's chemistry with Klondike Bill is the highlight. The start of several weeks of Bischoff outsmarting Flair for every menial job he's given.
