Top Ten: WWE Superstar Debuts

October 14, 2011

Number 9: Eric Bischoff July 15, 2002 WWE Monday Night Raw

WCW, bought in 2001 by Vince McMahon, was the most crucial business decision in Professinal Wrestling history. The man who dominated the WWE in ratings was Eric Bischoff. While Booker T was seen with the biggest shock on his face, nobody expected to see Eric Bischoff on WWE TV. When that went to commercial, the mystery of the Raw GM was solved. This cultivated the racy, attitude, and pushy limits that we would see for the next few years. Bischoff was the main guy responsible for creativity, for making wrestling "cool." When Vince hired him, you knew that Vince would do anything for his company to make it better. He did just that when Bischoff was shown on WWE. The shock value itself made everything fit.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
