Summary
On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and host Conrad Thompson are pulling no punches as they tackle some of the most talked about topics in wrestling today.
Eric breaks down what he believes is the biggest question the Most Valuable Promotion (MVP) should be asking right now "what's next?" Eric also shares his genuine shock at seeing Brock Lesnar back on WWE programming, and what that surprise return could mean for the business moving forward. From there, the discussion takes a serious turn as Bischoff weighs in on the difference between accusations and outcomes, reminding listeners that a charge is not the same as a conviction.
The hits keep coming as Eric offers a plea to AEW's Mick Foley to stay out of the ring, citing the physical toll of his legendary career. And in a bold prediction, Bischoff looks at the cult popularity of Danhausen and suggests he could reach merchandise heights comparable to none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin.
