5 reasons WWE should use Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman as on-screen characters

#3 Both men possess top-notch mic skills

Bischoff

When a company wants to use someone as an on-screen character, the first thing that is considered is whether they are capable enough to take the role, and do justice to it via their mic and in-ring skills. This experiment didn't work too well back in 2011, when WWE decided to bring in John Laurinaitis as a heel authority figure. Laurinaitis' mic skills left a lot to be desired, and he used to get constantly mocked by wrestlers as well as the live audience.

On the contrary, Heyman is widely regarded as one of the greatest talkers in the history of this business. He is so good that WWE rarely lets Brock Lesnar use the mic, and instead lets Heyman do the honors whenever the two are in the ring. And then there's Bischoff! As someone who saw Bischoff and Heyman in all their glory back in 2003-04, it is incredibly hard for me to decide on who's the better mic worker between the two. Nevertheless, these mic-skills need to be fully utilized on TV, instead of going to waste.
