Summary

On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric and Conrad break down John Cena's final match and the fan backlash that followed. Did Eric feel the criticism was justified, or was it completely blown out of proportion? Eric also weighs in on Gunther's standing in the WWE Universe after his win over Cena and what kind of real HEAT Gunther is feeling right now.

Plus, the guys take a trip back through the month of December in WCW history, revisiting key moments from the company's past. And to round things out, Raj Giri joins the show to discuss Mick Foley's departure from WWE. It's a loaded edition of 83 Weeks you won't want to miss.
