Born as Robert Dhue, Bob Dhue built a reputation as a sharp, quick-witted professional who was admired for his insight into the wrestling industry and distinctive personal style. Before entering the world of professional wrestling management, Dhue served as the manager of the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, a major sporting and entertainment venue. His experience overseeing large-scale events at the Omni provided him with valuable operational expertise that he later brought to World Championship Wrestling (WCW).
Bob Dhue rose to the position of President at WCW during a transitional period in the early 1990s. Contrary to the original statement, WCW did not change its name to World Wrestling Federation (WWF); in fact, the WWF was a separate and rival promotion, later renamed WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). Dhue's leadership came after the departure of then-president Bill Watts in 1993, who resigned amidst controversy involving past controversial comments, although Watts claimed in a later interview that internal politics, particularly from Bill Shaw, led to his departure.
Following Watts' exit, Dhue was appointed President of WCW. In his role, Dhue emphasized structure, bold decision-making, and corporate responsibility over appeasement of individual wrestlers. He once told Ric Flair that managing an arena was markedly different from managing professional wrestlers—a comment Flair later recalled favorably in his autobiography, "Ric Flair: To Be the Man." Flair described Dhue as "a great guy who knew what he was doing."
