Summary
On this edition of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson dive headfirst into the biggest stories making waves across professional wrestling, MMA, and beyond. Eric explains why he believes TNA Wrestling still has a legitimate path toward long-term success and separates fact from fiction when it comes to the company's much-debated financial outlook. Eric also shares his candid thoughts on Road Dogg's place within the TKO era WWE, why he believes the WWE Hall of Famer was ultimately out of place in the new corporate environment, and what that says about the changing landscape of sports entertainment. Plus, Bischoff revisits one of the most iconic moments in wrestling history and reveals why he asked Scott Hall and Kevin Nash the unforgettable question, "Do you work for the WWF?" during the birth of the nWo. The guys also tackle a strange find in a Marvel comic, did Marvel somehow create name Hulk Hogan in 1961? Then, Eric shares why he's so proud of the incredible rise of Danhausen, despite never having met the viral wrestling sensation. As if that wasn't enough, Eric and Conrad spend plenty of time discussing the latest developments in Real American Freestyle, the growing crossover between combat sports and professional wrestling, and the current state of the UFC. From business strategy to star power and everything in between, Eric offers his unique perspective on where these industries are headed next.
