83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff – Details, episodes & analysis

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?

On this LIVE edition of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson are back with the microphones hot and the conversation wide open as Easy E tackles some of the biggest headlines shaking up the wrestling business right now.

First up, Eric weighs in on the questions surrounding the lift of WWE's blackout ban and what it could mean for fans, television distribution, and the company's evolving strategy in the streaming era. Is this a major shift in how WWE plans to present its premium events moving forward?

Then the discussion turns to one of the most fascinating developments in sports entertainment—WWE stepping into the casino and gambling business. Eric explains why he believes this move could be a true game changer for the company and the industry as a whole, opening up entirely new revenue streams and fan engagement opportunities.

The conversation also takes a serious turn as Eric shares his perspective on the OVW incident, explaining why moments like this should serve as an important teaching moment for the entire professional wrestling industry. Eric discusses responsibility, professionalism, and what the business can learn from situations that capture the spotlight for the wrong reasons.
