In between all these memorable mentions of the debuts of the superstars, it became impossible to recall inarguably the most memorable non-wrestler debut in the history of WWE - the one from former WCW Boss Eric Bischoff.

Bischoff and McMahon had been each other's sworn enemies, as the boss of WCW and WWF respectively, since the mid-90s, with both of them making serious remarks against each other during Attitude Era. Hence, it was deemed next to impossible to see them side by side for years and years to come.

However, everything changed on that one fateful night of Raw. Booker T was being interviewed by The Coach backstage and was cutting one of his signature promos. Right at the end of his promo, Booker T lost his senses when a familiar face, Eric Bischoff, emerged from the Edge of the Camera to the surprise of Booker, Coach and probably everyone else.

Taking the matters to a whole new level of surprise, Bischoff was welcomed by McMahon onto the stage, the two shared a hug and Bischoff was announced as the new General Manager of Raw. Bischoff tenure as GM, which lasted for almost 3 years, is often termed as the best reign by any authority figure in WWE.
