Where is the controversial episode

Jul 21

heypatmurray

He keeps saying in 329 that it’s amazing they’re still talking after the previous episode. But the previous one is tame. Was it supposed to be the Benoit Ep? Where is it
Great Podcast

Really enjoy the Strictly Business episodes. Eric is intelligent and great to listen to. My favourite podcast in the wrestling industry.
Not what it used to be

NicoTotti10

I used to enjoy 83 weeks but it’s been unbearable recently. I still enjoy great discussion about his time in WCW & Eric’s experiences in the wrestling industry as a whole but If it wasn’t for Conrad trying to keep Eric for endlessly & negatively talking obsessively about AEW, I’d be done listen to it. Wise Choices is essentially an AEW hate filled show which is why I’ve stopped listening. I’m not saying that Eric isn’t allowed to his opinions. It’s fair to critique a product if it deserves it. The problem isn’t Eric criticizing AEW. My main problem is his criticisms come from a guy that has admitted to not watching the product while pretending to know what he’s talking about & never sees anything positive about it.
Eric’s a terrible dude.

I respect his wrestling opinions but he’s constantly putting over creeps like Tucker Carlson. The final straw was him saying Guttfield is funny (it’s not even a little) and advocating for bullying of wrestlers.
