Bischoff's main duty in WCW was to dictate the overall direction of the promotion. Bischoff's job was to do most of the booking, oversee day to day operations, sign wrestlers, and negotiate contracts. He in essence, mostly had all the same powers of his long time rival Vince McMahon has had in WWF/WWE. The main difference between Bischoff and McMahon is that unlike McMahon, whose family controls his promotion, Bischoff could be fired at any time.

Bischoff has the distinction of being the only American wrestling promoter to successfully overtake McMahon's promotion in terms of popularity. From the years of 1996 to 1998, Bischoff's WCW was the most profitable wrestling company in the world.
