Summary

On this episode of 83Weeks, Eric and Conrad take us back to November 17th 1997 for the infamous "Bret Screwed Bret" episode of Monday Night RAW. Now remember Eric wasn't watching the competitor at the time, so this will be the VERY FIRST TIME Eric is watching this episode. We believe you'll be surprised by Eric's reaction to the Vince McMahon interview and his perspective on the whole situation. Plus, Eric and Conrad discuss all the happenings in professional wrestling from WWE Crown Jewel, to a wild controversial spot during a PPV that even had Eric cringing.
