    Episode 419: 25th Anniversary Of The Last Nitro

    On this LIVE edition of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson turn back the clock to one of the most pivotal nights in wrestling history the 25th anniversary of the final episode of WCW Monday Nitro.  Joining the show is author Guy Evans, who brings deep research and insight into the financial realities and corporate decisions that led to WCW's demise. Eric and Guy break down why Eric's own deal to purchase WCW ultimately fell apart, and how the business side of wrestling sealed the company's fate.   But that's just the beginning.   Eric shares his take on how he would have booked the final Nitro, revealing creative ideas and missed opportunities from that historic night. He also reflects on the crossover appeal of the nWo, including why Dennis Rodman's involvement was such a major highlight, and drops a surprising take on why Shawn Michaels would have never fit into the faction. Plus, Eric dives into some fun "what if" scenarios, including how Ted DiBiase Jr. could have added a fascinating wrinkle to the Rhodes vs. Orton WrestleMania storyline. And if you've ever wondered what Eric considers the true "Big Four" of WCW pay-per-views, he's laying it out definitively.

    Episode 418: Bidding Battle

    On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson are back with a no holds barred conversation covering some of the hottest topics in professional wrestling and Eric is NOT pulling any punches! Eric kicks things off by breaking down why Randy Orton represents one of the last true "old school" performers in today's business, and what sets him apart from the modern era. Then, Bischoff sounds off on the idea of wrestling tribalism and why he believes it really only exists in one place. The discussion heats up as Eric gives major props to Brock Lesnar for going out of his way to elevate rising powerhouse Oba Femi, calling it exactly what the business needs more of. Eric gets candid about "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, admitting he understands the itch to return but explains why, in his opinion, it's never going to happen. Things get controversial as Eric reacts to Ricochet's recent comments, holding nothing back with his blunt take. And in true 83 Weeks fashion, the guys close things out with a wild what if scenario what would the wrestling world look like if Tony Khan had ever gotten the chance to bid on buying WWE?

    Episode 418: Bidding Battle

    On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson are back with a no holds barred conversation covering some of the hottest topics in professional wrestling and Eric is NOT pulling any punches! Eric kicks things off by breaking down why Randy Orton represents one of the last true "old school" performers in today's business, and what sets him apart from the modern era. Then, Bischoff sounds off on the idea of wrestling tribalism and why he believes it really only exists in one place. The discussion heats up as Eric gives major props to Brock Lesnar for going out of his way to elevate rising powerhouse Oba Femi, calling it exactly what the business needs more of. Eric gets candid about "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, admitting he understands the itch to return but explains why, in his opinion, it's never going to happen. Things get controversial as Eric reacts to Ricochet's recent comments, holding nothing back with his blunt take. And in true 83 Weeks fashion, the guys close things out with a wild what if scenario what would the wrestling world look like if Tony Khan had ever gotten the chance to bid on buying WWE?

    Episode 407: Eric's Top 5 Marathon II

    On this special episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson look back at some of Eric's most talked-about Top 5 lists, diving deep into the moments that defined — and sometimes derailed — WCW Monday Nitro. Eric ranks his Top 5 all-time favorite Nitro matches, debating where Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs. Bill Goldberg lands, which classic cruiserweight show-stealers make the cut, whether the very first Nitro match — Brian Pillman vs. Justin "Thunder" Liger — earns a spot, and how many legendary nWo bouts truly stand the test of time. The conversation then takes a sharp turn as Eric breaks down his Top 5 WCW Fails, revisiting the awful moments, terrible decisions, and embarrassing gimmicks that still make fans cringe. And finally, Eric lays out his Top 5 reasons why WCW Nitro simply looked better than WWE Raw during the height of the Monday Night War. Love it or hate it, this episode is classic 83 Weeks — honest, opinionated, and guaranteed to spark debate.

    Episode 2: "Finger Poke of Doom"

    Hulk Hogan has said the "Finger Poke of Doom" was the "beginning of the end of WCW," and no one really disagreed with him... or did they? Find out what Eric Bischoff thinks of this angle with the benefit of nearly 20 years hindsight. We address the rumor that Goldberg shot down the first idea for his angle with Liz and how Eric thinks Goldberg and Liz did in their acting roles that night. Plus Conrad presses Eric to defend the silliness of a "Hogan running for President" angle, clarification on Kevin Nash's role behind the scenes, why Eric put him in that position, when the plan was in place to hand Hogan the title, who got Goldberg a 1000% raise from WCW, an incredible story you've probably never heard before about a huge mainstream deal Turner turned down, and a tidbit about a word you couldn't say on WCW TV that you just will not believe! Of all the things on this episode to discuss, only one decision made that night really mattered and it led to 600,000 folks changing the channel. Conrad breaks down "butts in the seats" in detail and makes Eric has to own it. Oh and Eric buries two legends in the business to the point it leaves Conrad speechless. Eric is fired up and ready to breakdown the FINGER POKE OF DOOM! Did you know you could be enjoying 83 Weeks days, even a week in advance on ADFreeShows.com?
