83 Weeks With Eric Bischoff Podcast

On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric and Conrad unload a jam-packed slate of headlines, controversy, and classic WCW insight. Eric dives into the return of the super cards concept and shares his unfiltered thoughts on Bret Hart's latest barrage of bombastic statements, including what Bret got right—and what he absolutely didn't. The guys also address Dave Meltzer labeling Eric a "grifter," with Bischoff responding the only way he knows how: directly, honestly, and with zero hesitation. Then, the conversation shifts to a deep dive into the creation and evolution of Raven's Flock. Did Eric see the faction as a unique, gritty piece of WCW storytelling? Or was it an idea he'd have rather left on the cutting room floor? Eric sets the record straight with behind-the-scenes insight you won't hear anywhere else. All that plus so much more on this can't-miss, no-holds-barred edition of 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff.
