Bringing Hulk Hogan to TNA was the best thing Bischoff did to try to bring the ratings in but WWE will always be the number 1 wrestling promotion

He did it because Vince asked, and because they needed an Irish Wrestler at that time. He was always behind the scenes as a trainer, mostly of the female wrestlers. Then they asked him if he was interested in taking a role they had. Of course he said yes, who wouldn't :P

Totally different though, WCW had been a solid number 2 promotion for many years, and Ted Turner bankrolled the company pretty much for anything they wanted.

Which allowed Bishoff to bring in numerous WWE guys who still had drawing power, and create an undercard full of young talented guys.

But most importantly he created the NWO and turned Hogan heel which i believe is soley responsible for allowing them to actually take on WWE and beat them for 2 years. Without that they might of put up a decent challenge and done well, but not to the extent they did.

And remember Bischoff is also the guy who managed to turn a huge wrestling company, for 2 years the most succesful in the world in a a laughing stock out of business in a matter of years.

I dont believe that Bishoff made it into a laughing stock, I read his autobiography and he said that the control was taken from him. It was Ted Truners company that did stupid stuff to the company to make it into a laughing stock... not to mention Vince Ruesso... what a Kn00b! Cant stand that fella!

He would say that wouldn't he :D

I know Time Warner didn't help, and Vince Russo came up with some of the most ridiculous ideas in wrestling history but The Bisch was the man in charge so has to take the blame, as i'm sure he takes the credit for sticking it to Vince for 2 years.
