Summary
On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson aren't holding anything back as they tackle some of the most talked about topics in professional wrestling today. Eric shares his blunt take on Darby Allin as AEW World Champion, explaining why he doesn't believe Darby looks like the face of a major company, and why the decision to put the title on him could be bad for business. The guys also discuss whether AEW and WWE would benefit from reintroducing a cruiserweight division in today's landscape. Plus, Eric breaks down why Roman Reigns' recent social media promo and why it hit on a different level and what made it resonate so strongly with fans. And in classic 83 Weeks fashion, Eric counts down his Top 5 WrestleMania matches, offering insight and perspective only he can deliver.
