Eric Bischoff dealt with a lot of imposter syndrome while he was running WCW.
While speaking on a recent edition of the “No Contest Wrestling” podcast, the former WCW President revealed that he didn’t feel he deserved his position at the top of the company. He said,
“I had never heard of imposter syndrome at that point, but I could have written the book. I’d go to work every day going ‘why am I in this position? What do I do? How do I do this job?’ But again, I surrounded myself with really good people that I could lean on that had more experience than I did in certain areas, and was able to learn from them, and just like I said, learn on the job.”
He added, “You know I had some great success, had a couple of miserable failures, but as long as you learn from your mistakes, it’s just part of the process.”
Bischoff was first put into an executive position in WCW in 1993. He would go on to run the company from 1994 until 1999.
