    Episode 419: 25th Anniversary Of The Last Nitro
    Mar 26 2026
    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
    Mar 20 2026

    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?

If you grew up a fan of wrestling through the 80s and 90s and were lucky enough to watch the Monday Night War unfold between WCW and WWE(WWF) you witnessed what I many would consider to be the greatest period of time for the sport and to be a wrestling fan. The competition between the two companies spawned some of the greatest innovations such as the NWO and the Elimination Chamber to superstars like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

A must-listen for any fan of wrestling history.

I started listening to this podcast and enjoyed it at first. Then I noticed that Eric Bischoff began to contradict himself. He claimed that he could spend up to 1 million dollars without permission from Turner, but then he said that he couldn't help Rick Rude with a contract because he wouldn't be able to get permission for the $350,000.00 payment to pay back Rick's insurance money for his career ending back injury. If you do the math, $350,000.00 is well under $1 million and would even leave some money for Rick's contract. There are other things that he says which are equally hard to believe. I give it 2 stars simply for Conrad Thompson who occasionally calls Eric out on his BS.

Bischoff is full of it!
