I've never been convinced that Eric Bischoff's success was attributable to anything beyond reusing effective ideas (NWO, ECW bringing in Luchadors), being able to convince those with the means to let him have an open chequebook, and surrounding himself with talented wrestlers and writers. He talks a lot of trash for a guy who, in retrospect, seems to be extraordinarily good at being in the right place, at the absolutely right time. I think his tenure in TNA is proving that right.  

I'm not sure what the question is here!  However, I will say in Bischoff's defense that his "being able to convince those with the means to let him have an open chequebook" is not an easy ability to master.  There were a lot of people put in charge of WCW once Ted Turner purchased it, and none of them were able to get the Turner-Time Warner machine behind the company the way Bischoff did.  If he didn't do that, we never would have had the Monday Night Wars. 

I know this sounds terrible, but isn't someone always coming lately in TNA? Exactly how many supergroups can one have in a wrestling promotion?

Yeah, it does seem that TNA likes their "stables" going back to the early days of Sports Entertainment Xtreme then the Main Event Mafia the short-lived EV2.0 and now Immortal and Fortune.  

With the autobiography books that wrestlers have already written who would you love to see write a book one day.

Randy Savage would be an interesting one. 

With Shawn Michaels getting inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame this year who do you think will induct him I recall HBK did say he would love to have Bret Hart induct him and Bret later stated before him and HBK finally made peace when Bret Hart returned to the WWE a year ago as Guest Host for Raw he would consider it. Could it still happen?

Bret and Shawn have obviously put the past behind them and both get along now, but I think the only logical presenter for HBK at the Hall Of Fame is Triple H.  

So far there has been a group referred to as "they" that has taken control of TNA from President Dixie Carter with both Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan at the forefront. Now there is a possibility of another "they" arriving. You know the old expression: the third times the charm. Why not have a third "they"? This time however it involves the Knockouts. A female "they" version. A group of women taking over the Knockout division. What do you think?

I don't see it happening, in large part because I don't see TNA bringing in a group of female talent at once.
