Eric Bischoff became the Senior Vice President of WCW in 1994 and he remained the top executive of the company until 1999. He has had multiple stints with WWE since then with his most recent run being his tenure as the Executive Director of SmackDown in 2019.

He is the second name to be announced for the 2021 Hall Of Fame class after the company confirmed former women’s champion Molly Holly as the first inductee of this year’s class.

Eric Bischoff and Molly Holly will be joined by the inductees of the 2020 class of Hall Of Fame during the ceremony this year after WWE officials had to halt the ceremony last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 2020 class will see the likes of Batista, nWo, The Bella Twins, JBL, Jushin “Thunder” Liger and The British Bulldog being inducted in the Hall Of Fame.
