Who would have won the fight at Slamboree between Bischoff and McMahon? Let us know in the comments below!
even shawn michaels could beat bischoff. mcmahon would kill bischoff according to kevin nash
Vince would've destroyed Eric with ease.
Maybe....cause of roids, but Bischof is actually a tough dude@@fmthebaron
Bischoff
Vince moves like a poppet with its strings cut off.
I 100% believe hulk and savage when they say Vince loves to fight. Let's not forget the time he choked nailz hands with his bare throat. And the most famous one of his when it took just one face to Brets punch to end their fight.
#JusticeForNailz
Lmaoo very underrated comment
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Bret was insanely tough !!
That's a Load of Shit about Nailz as no one was in the Room when it happened . And that Bret Hart thing . Depends on who you ask. If you ask Shawn and his buddies it was a Work . If you ask Bret Buddies Bret Broke his Hand on that one Punch to Vince
I wish WCW was still around in 2024
It is just a different name 😂😂😂
@@paulcarpenter7844 You mean AEW? It does feel a bit like late-stage WCW at times.
@paulcarpenter7844 AEW will never be WCW lol.
I bet that light in Eric's face is driving his crazy
Not as much as your spelling.
@@Rschr101 ok I got you. Good one

Eric Would win if it was a wcw style match…about 20 run ins
@Fighter51328 wtf are you sm0kin'? Vince was soon to be 53 back then and he was jacked af and would have wh00ped bischoff's unathletic @zz easily
they're talking about back in the 90s@Fighter51328
how do you know Vince can't fight?@Fighter51328
Dude, Eric already won in one of his matches against Vince in one of WCW's PPV. He announced a match against Vince, Vince didn't show up. The ref called the match and declared Eric a winner. Eric act like he won the Olympics. It was the lamest thing ever. This was back in the Attitude days before the WWE purchased WCW.
Eric is a legit black belt in karate and competed in kickboxing before his wrestling career. Vince only has pro wrestling training, and was terrible at it at that (overselling, taking moves wrong, etc...). Eric would have ruined him in a real fight.
Eric Bischoff has always been light in the loafers.
LOL 1950's insults ! I like it ! 😀
@johnny5805 that's a timeless insult. I use it all the time.
Vince has 0 coordination, timing, or reflexes. It would be like fighting an overly muscled calf.
Nobody's even looking at his girlish chin structure.
Vince can take punishment, but can he actually fight?.... Bischoff has had some kind of training at least, supposedly. My prediction, Vince would blow out both quads getting into the ring and Bischoff would slip on his own BS and knock himself out....A No Contest.
😂
😂😂😂👍
I mean he was famous as kid for getting into too many fights+ kicked out of army boarding school for again getting into fights.
Ran from home found real father owner of them wrestling federation etc and earned his way into good grace by working from refree to ring announcer.
He is a evil bad man, but still not all hot air unlike Eric.
Vince basically be getting the shit beat out of him by Bishoff, and Vince be spitting blood, is that all you got ya son of a bitch?! Vince probably never was able to move fast, but could take punishment like a marvel character
Eric seems to speak his truth. Only ppl that disagree are Dave Makeituper Marks.
But remember, Vince tested his "heel persona" even earlier in USWA. Was it -92 or -93?
92 going into 93 also
So what, who was aware that outside of the Tennessee territory? He saw Eric getting over as the villain boss, and ripped it off.
Bischoff was an intimidating villain not just a goofy boss
I sat next to the host on the bus back from the first Jericho cruise. At the time I didn't know him. He was very cool!
"These aren't your normal lesbians...
These are BISEXUAL lesbians!"
*crowd pops*
cant help but to cough trying to impersonate Macho Man, that voice is wild
Karate man (ATM Eric/Easy E) vs. Vince McMahon (the genetic jackhammer with testicular fortitude (the size of grapefruits); I think that maybe he wanted to become a bodybuilder ?)
No rapist has "testicular fortitude." They have the instinct to take advantage of someone who is afraid of them. That's it.
@@PatrickGreeneFearwriter- power and control
Let's all remember. Bischoff threw out the challenge. Vince didn't show up. That's the bottom line. Vince didn't show up! Vince did not accept the challenge because he knew the possibility of losing.
i heard vince wanted to but got talked out of it
Then you’d also remember that Vince threw out a counter challenge a few days later.
No PPV’s, No cameras, Just him and Eric, in pre-agreed location to have a street fight. Vince didn’t show up not because he was afraid, but because he wasn’t going to help his Slamboree buy rates in the hopes of cashing in on his appearance.
And of course, Eric didn’t respond to the challenge.
Eric probably knew deep down that fighting Vince to the death was not a smart move.
That's so Vince could do something cheap. One on one, no mafioso tricks, and Vince knew he could lose. Vince's counter challenge was just silly. He chickened out. A challenge was thrown out and he didn't show up. That's the bottom line. Counter challenge? He did not accept a challenge, bottom line. He knew he just might get his a** kicked and would rather hire someone to hide in the shadows and do something cheap. Nice try fake name.@@darkhorse1280
They mention this on the Monday Night War dvd that WWE put out. They said that McMahon didn't show up for the challenge because "he was busy".
@@MiketheratguyMultimedia Yep, "The Monday Night Wars."
I want to see Eric vs Larry Zbyszko 2.
If it's like a fight fight, like a real fight with rounds, I'm taking eric. If it's a wrestling match I'm still taking eric. I mean come on, he has the NWO backing him. One of the most influential groups before DX.
I'm always amazed how everyone goes on about the attitude area. All wwf did was copy Eric then as soon as they were gone, back to shit tv
Coming from a guy who was juiced to the gills and benching 455 when he started training Jiu Jitsu years ago (that being me lol), muscles don't mean shit against someone with legitimate training lol. I got my ass handed to me by guys 140 pounds despite being 220 at the time. Thats not to say Vince couldn't theoretically get ahold of him and I'm sure he knows a few things as well, but I have a feeling Bischoff would have dusted him in a real fight.
Now its time to strike back, revive WCW, then he is really back and better than ever( i know it's not happening)
Say what u like about Vince, but the dude is huge and has taken some gnarly bumps. Bischoff knows karate, oh no! (Kevin Nash googly eyes)
Vince would never show up on a rival wrestling company. Not when he had a choice to do so. It is not that he doesn't want to fight but it about business and money. It would just promote WCW and give them a lead in the ratings. Vince is wise enough not to give the other company a step up or seem like a threat to his business.
What do you mean "give" WCW a lead or make them "seem" like a threat? WCW had led the WWF for the past two years.
Vince might have been bigger, but he built muscle for appearance. Functional strength and endurance is different. Bischoff would outlast him.
Now, Bischoff vs a 25 year old Shane McMahon would be interesting. Shane may not have been a fighter but he is a natural athlete.
one headlock and eric's eyeballs pop out
@@alexrekzu4079 If Eric is smart, he doesn’t let Vince get that close.
@@zlinedavid heheh true. Not sure why we are even thinking of strats for a fake dreamshoot. just seeing Eric try some blackbelt moves and fall down trying to attack someone
Wow I never knew or would have thought Eric Was the 1st Boss Antagonist..
Um, didn't Vince launch that heel, Mr. McMahon, character in USWA in 1993?
No, it was in 1997.
@@poorchristopher15 Dare means when Vince showed up on USWA TV in 1993 with a type of prototype heel Vince character. It wasn't as full-on as Mr McMahon would be, but the seeds were there.
@@JamesMMcCann The seeds were there as a regular ring announcer. I wouldn't say that he was a heel. It was after the bret heart screw job that vince went full.heel mode.
@@poorchristopher15 go watch some of the promos Vince was doing on the TV shows for the USWA (Lawler's promotion) when WWF guys were going down there. He was in full-on heel mode, he just wasn't playing it 'evil' just yet.
@@JamesMMcCann 1993?
Muscled up Vince back then was also Cardio fit. He has always been cardio fit cos he had full length wrestling matches with the likes of Stone cold in his fifties. Back then when Bischoff challenged he would have killed Bischoff
Muscle fit, cardio fit -- might as well be pilates fit. The one with the amateur wrestling experience takes it, and that's EB.
Just because you did a little bit of amateur wrestling in high school does not mean you can are any good at street fighting at forty. Vince had five stone on him, he would killed him
Vince was in his early 50s at this time, & stiff as hell from all of those inflated roid muscles. Eric was no tough guy, but he definitely had the age, speed, technique, and cardio advantage over Vince. Vince would have had a puncher’s chance though.
The torn quad incident shows how brittle VM was. Imagine a single leg kick.
I don’t think Vince would destroy Bischoff
Look Plain and simple If his daughters graduation was the problem he could shown up next time..But he DIDN'T!! He knew it would of been embarrassing
Bischoff is a black belt in karate
o0o0o0o0o so scaredddd (Scott Hall voice) _throws toothpick_
so am I but that can mean anything.
Karate is the most useless martial arts , there’s a reason why almost no ufc fighter uses karate aside from wonderboy and Henry Cejudo
@@JavierNYC423 Cejudo is a Olympic level wrestler.
Taekwondo not Karate
Lets be honest.. Eric as a Heel doesn't hold a candle to Vince's Heel.. Never has Never Will!
Nobody as a heel holds a candle to Vince as a heel
@@phoenixmodellingphotography yeah, basically nobody was that perfect and evil as a Heel Character.
You must be crazy if you think he would have shown up. If any fight were to occur, it would have been on HIS pay per view.
vince could easily bicep curl eric with one arm in his Prime..
Vince would literally sh!t on him
Lmao that is Vince’s finisher
@@brettmajors69karaoke Spat out my fucking drink at that, goddammit.
You got no chance in Heeell..if Vinnie mac had Mexican food😂
Vince McMahon's natural athleticism...lol.
Vince fears ratings and Bischoff.
I wish Vince would have confronted Bishchoff.
Vince should have showed up on Nitro, back then when Bischoff was waiting in the ring. In another universe, this match happened, and Eric beat him up.
You mean in Bischoff's head
The video we have wanted to hear for years. 🙏
All you gotta do is take out those quads, the Achilles heel of the McMahons 😅
There's a small part of me that hates myself for how quick I clicked on this title.
Vince wasn’t 72 at the time
“Sean was a valuable part of the nWo.” Yeah. He was the job guy 😂
He got everything he ever wanted
@@Rschr101 he made a lot of money. Not gonna deny that. But he was a glorified jobber in WCW.
XPac sucks.
@Rschr101 and he'll never give that baaack!😂
Vince McMahon was furious about that open challenge by wcw, wwf clams it was his daughter's graduation day back in 1998
Bischoff just came off as a weak, smarmy, groupy rather than the boss that you want to see get what's coming to him from "working class" Steve Austin. That's why Vince's turn worked so much better.
I’ll need to go back
But this seems odd to me
The idea that Hogan, Hall, and Nash needed someone to speak for them is insane to me
I don’t recall them needing anyone yo speak for them at the time
Hall and Nash carried everything from Hall’s debut through BATB
All Hulk needed was someone in charge to tell him to keep it short and sweet, because he could ramble at times.
But they didn’t *need* a mouthpiece
I know for sure EVERYONE and I mean everyone in the locker room could beat up Shawn Michaels. Micheal’s blew Vince and Nash for protection.
Bischoff could throw some serious Chuck Norris kicks. Saw him doing that a few times when watching WCW. Commentator saying he's a 3 time champion in karate became a running gag though.
It didn’t make sense why the person running the company would try to destroy his own product
7:42 that’s cute he’s trying to make himself feel tough lol Eric would’ve needed an ambulance 😂
Shut up Vince you've got bigger problems than Eric Bischoff these days
You shut up@@phoenixmodellingphotography wcw was trash
First to make a move wins i believe. Depends on the range as well.
I remember the ppv and the "vinny mac cam" 😂
I still contend Ted Dibiase could've been the voice.
I think there were other options too. Probably Lanny Poffo could have done it as well. I think they actually were paying him money at the time to do nothing.
So did he. Apparently Dibiase was slated for the role of bankrolling the NWO and becoming their mouthpiece. For whatever reason it was changed to Eric because he was an executive at WCW it seems more plausible that he'd've been the mole secretly using his power to aid the NWO. When that happened Ted wasn't needed any more.
Could you have imagined, vince comes out they fight for a good 10 minutes then the NWO comes out, beats up vince and out of the back Dx comes out with the rock. A brawl happens but the wrestlers from the back nwo and wcw gang up on the wwe members. Vince leaves and yells out this isnt over Eric!
This could have been the real WWe vs WCw we wanted to see. This would have been a huge success. However it didnt and we got a cheap version
There was absolutely no way Vince would have shown up to help a competitor sell Pay Per Views. He was all about the business first. If he were to fight Bischoff they probably would have met in Central Park or some other open location, and people would still be talking about it to this day.
Ranger Rick's a little light in the timberlands
When Kirk wanted to quit. Vince called him into his office and offered to fight him right then and there. Kirk was legit shocked. Granted he didn’t realize he had spent days threatening Vince… but it made kirk double think what was going on 😂
Vince is just a bodybuilder. No fighting skill. Eric would have knocked him out
I can see that, ever since the 90's I heard he was a legitimate martial artist. Vince got pretty muscles or whatever but I see Eric makin short work of him.
A real martial artist, not a hobbyist, never forgets what they learn. He would be slower and rusty, but he would not have forgotten all of his training.
@@markprescott6477 don't get me wrong, Vince won't roll over and die. Eric wouldn't win hands down.
@@MattChewycat33 Oh yeah I get where you're coming from. Vince has a huge ego so that means he would probably end up taking a beating. But Eric would work for it, I agree.
Eric is a fake
@@kevinbbadd well I guess that's fair to say seeing how I don't have much info on the latter. But tell me fella lol how do you know he's fake???? Or are you just assuming in a confident way??? Lol
Bischoff is a legitimate martial artist, and Vince was a roided up freak. I'd put my money on Eric any day of the week.
I'll never forget that WcW ppv where he challenged Vince and they had the Vinnie Mac cam and Easy E won by count out cause Vince didn't show up 😂😂😂
You helped dx that was the end of the nwo you should have just paid him more
Eric absolutely wins this based on wrestling experience alone. Juiced or.not, VM is a spoiled rich boy with no heart for fighting.
Spoiled rich boy? Do you even know his origin story?
@@eazye088he has no idea
Vince would break you and your weedy old man in two at the same time.
@@eazye088 Yep. Nepotism beneficiary under rich promoter father. Then - lifetime rapist.
@@eazye088 Yeah. Born to a rich wrestling promoter from whom he inherited the company and the money, bypassing entirely the job market process. Then -- onto a lifetime of rape and abuse of power.
Imagine how delusional you have to be to think Vince would show up on a competitor’s ppv to fist fight someone.
Vince was furious and thought not showing up would be worse. He had to be talked out of not going.
@@victorw6732 stop it lmao. Vince was never going to appear on his competition’s ppv
So many in the comments are convinced Vince would've mauled Eric. But I know exactly how this fight would go, cause I watched a very similar event go down. My friend is a pro powerlifter, nationally ranked and strong as a damn ox. He benches like 400+lbs. He could beat almost any untrained dude. Pick them up and toss them like a rag doll.
I saw him get into a tussle with a dude half his size. No exaggeration, this other dude likely weighed half what he did. We're talking 150lbs vs 300lbs. But the little dude was a pro boxer/MMA fighter. Not good at all, he had a terrible record. But still, dedicated martial arts experience. And the little guy took my buddy down in seconds. Danced around, tired him out, took him out at the knee, and put a choke on him. Done.
Training and experience in combat matters way more than size and strength. Bischoff can be an utterly mediocre wrestler and kickboxer, he still has training and experience and would take stumbly, awkward baby giraffe Vince apart pretty quick.
Even Kevin Nash says he would fear at least a greenbelt in BJJ.
Vince would of killed him
Vince was just a bodybuilder, Bischoff is a black belt karate master...
@@Art77joh no not a black belt karate master!
🤣🤣🤣@@ReginaldForman
You ever seen Vince's attempts at anything athletic ever?
If he (Vince) can’t grapple ya, he can’t win. Martial Arts is about keeping your distance and using precise striking attacks, see Savate.
WOOOOOO
We need more Kenny mckintosh content
I agree, as muscular as Vince was, he was super unathletic and uncoordinated. I recently watched Vince doing the people Elbow and he almost completely fell on his face like 3 times during it. I almost died laughing
"I was an on air character before I was an executive.... So I placed myself in the hottest angle" so... he might not have been an exec but he had power to put himself in major roles?
vince was never an athlete. he was always working out to look better. he never took any actual combat training in any technique. he was also always much older than eric. I wouldn't be surprised if he could've won a fight with him. Vince lost a fight with himself running to the ring
Eric says he likes everyone but still fires them 😂
I read everywhere Bischoff didn't like Waltman, this is the first I'm hearing the opposite.
I’ve never heard anything about Vince loving to fight. I would love to hear those stories.
Really? I've heard loads
Role played as Brock Lesnar, there's some uproar just now.
@@unclefred3128 I’ve heard of him wrestling around with guys. Never real fights.
Kurt Angle did say at One time during an interview that he would text Vince when he’d be under the influence and one day Vince confronted him in person to a fight. If I find the link I’ll post it here
@@frankreyna7293 I’ll have to look for that.
Noffense, but Vince was AMAZING in the role.
Do you think that pose of Vince in the thumbnail is the same one he used when he pushed one out on that girls head?! (Allegedly)
Vince was a far better on-screen character. Eric would have certainly gotten his butt kicked if Vince showed up.
That last question about Vince’s athleticism was sarcastic right?
It was a joke right?
Moneys on the bischoff.
You'd be broke
@@georgecosrove3651 you funny. Height and weight to Vince. However he's on steroids, their muscles require more oxygen, stay away for a bit, and I think bischoff could. Bischoff, speed, very good wrestling skill set and a kick boxer. I think vinces ego would work against him also.
I'd cheer for Bischoff
Black King to White Knight, do you hear me?
If Vince showed up on his PVP and beat the hell out of him maybe it helps WCW a little bit sure, just to have the exposure and the news that would come with such a thing..but then that's just more ammo that WCW is an inferior product. Vince would've talked about how he beat Bischoff's every night and would've gotten peak Hogan pop back home. As much as it might've helped WCW it would've helped WWF more. So idk, as good of a businessman as Bischoff thinks he is I don't think he quite sees all the angles.
I wouldn't trust Vince in a fight not to stick a thumb somewhere it doesn't belong
Vince turning heel was not planed.
Bischoff was and still is a total tool when it comes to wCw - I've heard countless shoots by Nash, Hogan and Hall all saying they told Bischoff he's out of his mind for thinking he can put WWE out of business.
Xpac/Sean Waltman was way better in WWE as the newest Dx member - and Vince probably would have beat the sh*t out of Bischoff if they would have fought.
Why would Vince have shown up to give the opposition ratings
Shiavone would run circles around this dork.
Vince became a heel on accident with that hitman screw job. Had that gone over smooth i dont think vince gets involved in matches the way he did. All of that happened by chance not because he was copying this fool.
Vince being heel literally has nothing to do with Eric. What the fuck type of take is this? His ego is wild.
Vince is a beast. He’d bruck up Eric.
As recent events have shown, Vince is indeed a beast.
Epic onion haircut
A 68 year old man bragging about beating up a 78 year old man; yeah, that's what made me a wrestling fan. 😒
Eric would win because Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall told him he could he could beat Vince.
I've seen Vince on the mat. He takes private classes for years. Like Eminem learning how to box, privately.
😂😅😂
Shane been training for years with Pro MMA trainer Phil Nurse. Im pretty sure Vince was taking classes as well.
Maybe now, but 20 years ago wouldve crushed
Oh please.. The old jacked up Vince would have rearranged Bischoff's face.
Sorry but being jacked doesn't mean you know how to fight dummy.
No, muscles are a hinderance and consume a lot of oxygen during a fight. Being "jacked" doesn't mean you can fight.
Size matters
@@truthskr7127This guy. 🙄
@@jamesmiller5331 sorry buddy it only matters when you put a small guy vs a big guy of equal strength. You should see what happens to Brian shaw the strongest man in the world against a small mma fighter, he has zero chance. Technique beats size and strength all day.
Just because you have a black belt doesn't mean you can fight.
Amateur wrestling, though. Head down to your local high school and ask to take on their smallest, worst guy. Let us know how it goes.
Eric bischoff couldn’t beat a turtle in a foot race hes going to win a fight vs Vince McMahon 😂 yea right
Sean Waltman was the luckiest wrestler ever. He was the no name weird looking wrestler in NWO and DGen-X when i was growing up. Had no idea his name until about 5 years ago.
Terrible take.
Sean was excellent
