Whatever. He ruined WCW. I give him no credit. Never thought he was that great on the mike, either.
He may have caused the end of WCW (though I think that's debatable, I think there are a few other people that could take a share of the blame for that), but he did (as he's mentioned a few times) make WCW Nitro beat Raw in the rating for over a year and a half straight.
For a good long time WCW was far better than WWF. At the end it sucked, but he did a great job for a good portion of it.
Hopefully he can bring some of the earlier success of WCW to Raw. I think he's got a lot of talent in the creative department. The last few weeks I've been pretty happy with WWE, but the last year or so has gotten pretty stale.
They could use the new blood to shake things up. Vince is still in charge, so if Eric goes the way of the end of WCW, then Vince will give him the boot I'm sure. But for now, I'm hoping that Easy E can bring some of the earlier success of WCW into the "Raw brand."
