On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson are back to tackle some of the biggest talking points in professional wrestling today. Eric weighs in on why WWE keeps returning to Las Vegas and what makes the city such a reliable hub for major events. Bischoff also breaks down the business logic behind bringing celebrities into main events, explaining why it continues to be a winning formula when done right. Plus, he shares his candid thoughts on WrestleMania becoming increasingly packed with commercials, and why that approach can both help and hurt the overall product.
The conversation heats up as Eric questions whether Brock Lesnar is truly finished with wrestling, and offers some strong advice to WWE on protecting the momentum of rising star Oba Femi. And in a fun twist, Conrad draws comparisons between Danhausen and The Sandman, asking whether Danhausen's personality could be this generation's version of the hardcore icon.
