"Ok, pal. Let's go out there and hug." I lost it 🤣
Starts @ 12:48
rocksvids08 Nice one.
rocksvids08 thanks
Not all heroes wear capes cheers
You dudes who do this for every single video are internet heroes. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, man.
Eric has to go down as one of the 10 most influential people in Pro Wrestling.
Fa sho
Easily one of the best episodes.
I had a tryout with TNA way back and Bruce was super cool. I was friends with bischoffs son and some of the other guys and Bruce was one of the nicest I met. You can't be a mark backstage but meeting Bruce flair angle and bischoff was awesome. Butsurprisingly one of the people that I was most excited to meet, and was probably the only person who remembered my name was Jason Hervey. I was a huge Wonder Years fan when I was a kid even though I was really really young when it was on TV and I loved back to the Future so it was really cool meeting all of them but for some reason I was extremely excited to meet him haha
Thanks for sharing that sounds awesome. I always liked Eric. A good talent who’s always been entertained,
Well whoop-i-de-a-doo.
That Snoop Dog / Kevin Dunn story though hahaha
Highlight of any of these STWW shows is Bruce impersonating Vince 🤣
Bruce's Cornette kills me every time. Lol
What part is it
"CHOCOLATE TITIES!"
His impressions and accents are pretty damn good
Popped HUGE for the Punjabi Bossman song - classic STW!
An hour and 38 minutes into the episode and Bischoff making out with Stephanie McMahon hasn't been mentioned yet. Conrad, I need hard-hitting journalism here and I hope you don't let me down. EDIT: I am a fan, and I have been serviced.
Bruce Prichard is who I wanted to be when I grew up but never knew about. Much Respect. Just because I love you, doesn't mean I like you.
I wonder if Eric Bischoff will ever go into the WWE Hall of Fame?...Other former WCW talent have gone into the Hall of Fame.
2 years later...YOU GOT YOUR ANSWER ☺
Bischoff's run was classic.
Not better then the run I could have had Vince that scumbag
Bruce singing 'back in black' is truly AMAZING. please plug that in as it's own video
i nearly pooted laughing
Wow, talk about irony. Conrad saying if they did a podcast together he'd hate probably hate eric's guts
He's back and better than ever. Gotta knack for makin' things better. Face facts, if ye think you know better, he's a maniac, that's gonna stamp on whoeverrrrr.
That was awesome
I'm back... The boss of you morons. LMFAO
Lover it
Always sounded like the soundtrack to a Viagra commercial to me.
Well You Know.
Lol He does look a wee bit like that John Davidson 😂
This is fun to listen to a couple years into the 83 Weeks podcast
I'm so intrigued by how the Wrestling culture really is behind the scenes.
With Vince having basically a monopoly on a entire genre of entertainment you would think that he would set the tone from the top down to keep people focused and empowered for his interest.
But then I'm starting to realize that Vince must prefer having a certain amount of paranoia + backstabbing, etc etc.
Its truly bizarre
bruce doing AC/DC killed me! 2:44:17
I love these STW programs!!
OMG I’m dying of laughter, my sides hurt at 2:04:55. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
2:05:45 ......It caught me off guard !!! Every show he somehow manages to make a reference 😂😂
He just said ''Ah yeess''. Calm the fuck down.
Had to listen again. Some great moments in this
That shoot hug/ Vince impression was fucking hilarious
Eric left a mark in the business that is for sure. He is a first ballad hall of famer. They answered the question of what happened when hell freeze over. I agree with Bruce, he should go in by himself. I think Vince was trying to test Eric and see would he last cause this is the same man who tried to throw Vince out of business. Bruce's impression in this episode are funnier than hell.
First ballad
@@rackballjones6585 first ballot
I'm a straight guy and not attracted to HLA.
Idiot
@@Super122291 Dipshit.
I was a little disappointed that they never mentioned, Bischoff vs Shane McMahon at Summerslam 2003. The Bischoff/Austin rivalry as co-general managers. Or the Bischoff trying to screw Cena story.
Early Nwo .. Hottest angle Ive ever seen in my lifetime. Wrestling was on fire.
Flair would have gotten a good roundhouse kick from Bischoff if it really came down to it
Snoop dogg putting Kevin Dunn in check is awesome!
"I'm sure of we ever did a podcast like this, I'd hate his f---ing guts"
Boy.....How times change 😂
Daniel Kane roughly when is that said sir? I don't recall hearing that lol
2 hours, 11 minutes
This podcast was 3 minutes too long.
its so crazy to think how much would have been diffrent if vince hired bishoff back then it amazes me how in hinsight one little thing would have made such a gigantic diffrence
Jerry Jarrett 😂😂😂
You know what would make this better...a few more commercials!
Said no one ever
1:10:00 LOL!!
That shit actually sounded like Vince hahahaah
1:10:00 😂😂😂
What the fuck I just listen to? 😂😂😂😂😂
I really think making Shane and Stephanie becoming GMs is a bad idea. Two people who tried to put the company out of business then becoming GMs. That makes no sense.
“I love wrestling.”-Conrad
That Snoop Dogg story is amazing! Shit on Kevin Dunn :D
Justin R. What part
I'm not saying Eric is a great guy....but that's the same book Flair called Mick Foley a glorified stuntman....Rick has 2 moves, a chop and a figure four...most overrated entertainer ever, also just seems like kind of a douche.
Killed his car 🤣
Then Beatoff ended up working *for* Vince.
🤣🤣🤣
Bischoff
1:38:43. Conrad is such a stick in the mud. Goddamn Pal!
Tell meee, I did not justttttt see thatttt
I love these conversations, but jesus christ the ad frequency is absolutely oppressive! Every 3 minutes is just wrong boys.
Rick Steiner, and Ultimo in a flatfoot tie for 2nd place so far..
6:46 What you cam here for
Bruce How did you (I am guessing it's you) get that shiner in that photo on your wall, visible on WWE Network Something Else to Wrestle With available now for 9.99 a month. 😂
Eugene was a brilliant character portrayed brilliantly. The special needs big shots should have fully endorsed it.
2:29😂
How are there only a tad over 550 likes for this video (besides the shitty SCSA bit I mean )
Good podcast
Is it me or did conrad says cena f5s bishoff into a garbage truck at 2.09.00 ??
He tried to put his competitor out of business
HLA was so cringe, what was Vince thinking.
Chocolate titties obviously
@@seeyouinhellyeowie3865 Makes sense.
When did Pat Patterson turn from Quebecois to Eye-tye?
Wtf with all the add right at the beginning of the show? Lame.
Mesothelioma?
Where can I get more information?

Just Skip 03 Like Conrad Read Everything Else But Skip 03 I Think 03 Was 1 Of The Best Storyline Of Stone Cold & Eric Bischoff As Gm That Was Great
1:13 Bruce has to understand why people thought the only reason Vince brought Eric it was to humiliate him. DDP, Booker T, Sting, the nWo , You’re all job doubt and destroyed and told not to do things that would get them over while WWE guys are free to keep doing the things that got them over and do whatever they wanted to do to get over.
Nope. None of that stuff happened according to Bruce, he's got those paycheck blinders on.
2:05:26 Yep
Amazing
My new band is called Rumor Innuendo
I always felt WCW looked and felt cheap. Then again i grew up in the continental Northeast. Therefore i grew up with WWF. I just liked the arena look better.
Bruce: "What does every guy want to watch? Porn."
Conrad: "Oh gosh..."
Every guy: "So Conrad's wife listens to the podcast. Obviously."
Anyone else having problems with this podcast stopping and starting very annoying
It's so funny how oblivious the wrestling world is to martial arts. Almost says, "Vince would have murdered Eric in a real fight". Which is funny considering Bischoff had legitimately competed in martial arts tournaments and we've never heard about Vince being in a single fight. I know the WWE marks don't want to hear this, and Eric is comfortable enough with himself to stay on good terms with Vince, but the odds are that Eric would have broke his face in a real fight. Being jacked and having a strong personality isn't going to give you an advantage over a trained fighter. It's the same reason Goldberg wouldn't kick Jon Jones ass or why The Rock isn't kicking Connor McGregor's ass anytime soon.. These are the same people who think Meng would kick Lesnar's ass in a fight, when in reality Meng wasn't even stupid enough to buck up to Scott Steiner when he was bullying the WCW locker room in 2000-2001. It's so crazy how delusional some people who eat, sleep, and shit wrestling 24/7 can be... Eric is a chill guy, so he'll say "Vince probably would have won", but every time I hear this story I shake my head. My money was on Vince trying to box or grapple him, and Eric striking him down pretty easily. Let's speak in terms of reality here people. Eric had every advantage aside from size, and Vince wasn't THAT much bigger than him. Especially considering his training, his age, and the fact that he had a clear advantage in speed. My money would have been on Vince getting mopped up, just like Lesnar and Lashley would have beaten Haku's face in. I believe Haku felt the same way about Steiner and that's why he never defended the WCW locker room during Scott's rage period.
Justin Jockisch always thought the same thing
Jokers Improviganza: Not saying that these guys aren't tough as fuck, but most of these wrestling personalities just don't understand fighting.. There's a difference between being tough and being a trained fighter. No matter how many stories I hear about Haku beating up some guy in a bar, I'm like "Yeah, but that's not the 6'3 290lb former UFC Heavyweight Champion. That's just Earl, the local fire fighter". I strongly believe that Meng knew that and that's why when Steiner was scaring the fuck out of people and demanding matches to be changed, Meng never confronted him. These Chuck Norris-esq stories about Meng are fun to listen to, and he would probably murder 95% of the people in pro wrestling history, but guys like Scott and Rick Steiner weren't among them. Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley are just out of the question altogether.. So when I see these people talk about how Vince would kick Bischoff's ass, I'm just thinking, "based on what?". Anyone who knows anything about legitimate fighting knows Eric had every advantage except for a slight size disadvantage that most likely wouldn't have mattered in the slightest. That's why Bischoff always smirks when he says, "I didn't care who won. I just wanted people to tune in. Vince probably would have got me".. Eric is very cool headed and diplomatic, so of course he's not going to say, "I would have starched that delusional old sociopath".. If he did he would never appear on WWE television again. Eric's protecting his legacy.
I'm no expert but karate judo mma really does fuck in a straight dirty street fight biting pulling kicking punching fights are usually over in less than a minute anyway one punch can take any man down
liam Royce: Like you said , you're clearly no expert. Only in the world of pro wrestling will someone admit they aren't an expert and then go on to make a ridiculous claim anyway. I don't care how tough your uncle Earl is in a street fight, if you bet on him over Cain Velasquez, then you're delusional.. MMA is a sport by the way, not a martial art.
Justin Jockisch I'm not saying that am I fucking hell UA-cam warrior
I'm saying anyone who's actually been in a street fight knows
That they don't go on for a couple of minutes they go on a for 2/3 at most its grabbing biting punches two people trying to throw each around
Please don't mad get chuck Norris
Conrad's snide remarks are so low class
I like and respect Ric Flair, but he's full of shit. He's going around attacking people and talking like a badass threatening Hogan and Bischoff, but literally everyone in WCW said he was a pussy who cried everytime he got upset. I'm not buying it. He was around Hogan many times throughout the years and never tried fighting him, despite Hogan being a talent just like him... I'm not buying it. Flair was never talked about like he was a tough guy, and let's be honest, Hogan was 6'7" and about 50lbs of muscle bigger than Flair. Isn't it strange how many people wanted to fight Hogan and never did?? Least of all Ric Flair, who probably would have got his ass kicked.
What the hell is Bruce talking about when he said that The WWE (@ The time WWF) already had the Hogan/Flair match & then saying that they didn't have much success from their match? I don't remember them being on any PPV's or even any Saturday Night's Main Event's. If they did have it should had been around Wrestlemania IIX & it would have been one of the biggest Wrestlemania matches ever @ the time. I'm pretty sure that was it because neither of them was willing to put the other one over, so I don't get why Bruce was saying what he said about them already having the match without any success. I think they had a couple of house show matches, maybe that's what Bruce was talking about? Maybe the house show matches they had where no good, but I can't picture Flair not being able to have a good match with anyone, even Hogan who couldn't wrestle.
Mae Young the more stories you hear about her the more of a bd ass she sounds. even at her old age she was still a bad ass.
?
ffs bloody ads in the show the whole point of youtube red
Ya been scammed, kid.
Ya wanker
"Bring him to Stamfordp"
Working lesbians R us
Are we talking about Vince McMahon when he's got the big pythons and he looks like he could beat the s*** out of see him punk or Daniel Bryant you know these little guys that don't look like real wrestlers

What Kind of World do WE LIVE IN!
HLA - Discrimination is wrong kids!
How gay does Conrad sound when he hates on hot chicks making out?? If that's not today's audience in carnate, I don't know what is.
Justin Jockisch #SaveTheHoes
Lol ya he said he loves ECW and they had the first lesbian kiss on TV
@@tylers7048 I have trouble believing their lesbian kiss was the first. That said, it's the squash afterwards that rubs me the wrong way.
@@fuzzydunlop7928 well I'm not Dean Cain so believe it
@@tylers7048 This pop culture reference seems ripped right from Russo's book, I'm honestly impressed. Anyway, Hardcore-TV wasn't on a network, iirc - you could only really see it in the Philly area at first until word of mouth got it carried by other local stations in other large metropolitan areas. My point is that we should probably be more specific, unless it happened during the ECW on TNN era - which would surprise me. Where did you hear this, anyway?
