83 Weeks w/Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson

[domrep]

Per Extra Mustard, will premiere this April.

[chronocross]

I'd be surprised if they can make it 2 weeks together, let alone 83.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Eric Bischoff is a terrible interview. Conrad has his work cut out for him.

[Milkman Norm]

I've liked Bischoff's shoots. I'm looking forward to this.

[KofiMania]

That's pretty awesome.

I feel like he's basically told the same stories for almost two decades now, hard to see anything new or interesting coming from this.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

"Everything good and interesting was my idea, everything terrible was someone else's". That's what this show's gonna be, full stop.

If they do it like how Bruce's podcast is, there will be plenty of stories.

I did enjoy his WCW Timeline shoot, but Sean Oliver might be the best interviewer in the game today, so something functioning here is possible.

[Nickybojelais]

Bischoff talking about WCW is 2nd only to the Montreal Screw job on my list of things I never need to hear spoken about again.

[brown bricks]

He can't be worse than what Prichard has turned into and he won't be better than what Schiavone. Having said that, I'm interested in the show and am absolutely all-in on anything WCW related.

It's just repeating controversy creates cash non stop.

I already know about the ninja stars.
Verne Gagne.
Interviewing a broom for a wwe tryout.
Getting promoted by Bill Shaw.
Signing Hogan and admitting that Hogan was running wcw.

It's always the same thing. Also Bischoff never really accepts blame for anything kinda like Russo.

[Deleted]

Way too much Conrad.I may have given it a try if it had a different host but this sounds like an awful combination.

[Deleted]

Bischoff is entertaining to me so I’ll check this out. Bruce has jumped the shark for me so something different would be intriguing.

[sfvega]

I like Bischoff, but this being any good will be dependent on him pretty much having a beer or two and being able to say "I did this, at the time my thought process was this, but MAN what a miserable failure it was." Bischoff is a charming guy to an extent, but after a while I feel like he's trying to sell me something. I don't want to hear his angle, his spin, I want to hear about him as a person. I want him to be able to admit his failures because that makes people more relatable. Conrad grates me sometimes during Tony's podcast, so me listening will depend on which Bischoff shows up. Older, wiser, able to laugh at his own mistakes Bischoff which I really think he is capable of being or sleazy salesman Bischoff.

[Welfare Willis]

I'll consider this podcast a success if he can get anything out of Bischoff about Halloween Havoc '95 or Souled Out 97

Bishoff is the wrestling equivalent of a used car salesman. Charming enough when he’s not saying nasty stuff (and boy can he) but he also lies.
For example he says that Nick Patrick made a honest mistake during Starrcade and Hogan had nothing to do with it. Patrick has come out and admitted that Hogan told him to count normally.
Another example is bringing Warrior in, everyone from The Bookers to Warrior himself have said it was done so Hogan could get his win back. Eric denies it. I’m sure he probably denies that Hogan was trying bring in Yoko before he died, to get his win back there as well.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

This is the kind of thing I would give a fairer thought to if I believed Bischoff was going to be even kind of truthful in what's going on, but he's the kind of guy who lies enough that I don't want to hear any of it.

[shockmaster93]

I'm so sick of Conrad. Just go back to insurance man

Eric seems like the type of sleazy businessman who is always worried about his image. It's like the WWE has had this mud-slinging campaign against him, he's gone into the wrestling biz and failed again. At this point, just be a regular guy, a personality. I don't know if he's worried about his legacy in the history of the business or if he'd just been dealing with suits so long that he's stuck in "selling mode". But I feel like a more realistic, less defensive, more humble Bischoff would be a huge breath of fresh air. And I mean the type of people who would listen to him and Conrad or Tony and Conrad are normally the types of people who just want to wax nostalgic about the good times of WCW anyway. If he says he was dead wrong about Jericho or too close to Hulk, it doesn't so much taint his legacy as much as it makes his podcast open, honest, and good.
