#6. Eric Bischoff's ego.

<p>

After years of beating WWE in the ratings, Eric Bischoff's ego caused him to make some bad decisions.

He spent millions of dollars on non-wrestlers like Master P and the Misfits, behaved snidely and insulted Vince McMahon on air every chance he had, and figured that it was only a matter of time before he put WWE out of business and became the only show in town.

Then of course, there was the time he ordered the announce team on Nitro to give away the main event ending on the taped edition of Raw. Inadvertently, he caused millions of viewers to switch over to witness Mick Foley's championship victory.

If Eric had been more savvy and logical, he might not have set the stage for his eventual defeat.
