I like how Conrad really really really really wants to legitimize Meltzer and his feelings about him, but is probably the single person whose activity does the actual opposite of that by exposing him.
Everytime, on every podcast lmao
It's going to see Meltzer getting exposed more and more man EB and Bruce have been right about him for years
Haha very true. Pretty much everyone who he does a podcast with exposes Meltzer for having constant untrue info.
@mattm7798 yep its good to see him get exposed so badly in recent years. Hasn't been good for the buisness at all. So sad Conrad is so far up his ass he can't see straight
Conrad you're starting to drive me a little nutty with your overuse of the phrase , 'AND I SAID TO MYSELF SELF!!!"
Every time Eric talks about how many minutes the Warrior's debut promo was, the longer it ends up being.
Sitting Indian style in front of the t.v switching back & forth to WWF during commercials
Miss those days
Marty Jannety was definitely the reason this was the highest rated Nitro.
Also, speaking on the audience switching back and forth, I watched the Monday Night Wars with my grandfather. He was a WWF fan, I liked Nitro better most of the time, so we watched both Picture in Picture and would switch to whichever had the best action happening. That was so much fun!
LOL that's why I tuned in
Lol Marty jannety was a jobber.
25:36 "Is this going to be, like, the next guy to get the big gold bush?" AWESOME GLITCH!! 😂
Nothin' like a classic 1978 disco dancin big gold bush
The most watched match ever was Hogan vs Andre SNME in 88. Over 33 million people watched that match that night.
Bischoff is the man!!
Bischoff: "I appreciate honesty, above all."
Also Bischoff: "Sting wasn't tanned enough."
🤣👺💩
AmaIng you marks still don't get it after all these years, Eric was protecting his friend. It's obvious Sting had substance abuse issues during that time.
@@Rschr101 THEY STILL PUT THE BELT ON HIM! EXPLAIN THAT! 🤡🤡🤡
Is that bischoff's face photoshopped with warrior's makeup, in the thumbnail??? That's tremendous!!!😂🤣😭
Why am i listening to Bischoff talk about how it was a mistake to bring in Earnest Miller as a heel? 🤔 Was it just me watching him being a face and helping Glacier againet Wrath and Mortis??? 🤨
Wow.. I'm playing catchup on eps so to see eric nailing it with the cmpunk sit down with paul hhh to work out a 'go out on a high' deal knowing what we know now that thats exactly what happened.. Amazing.. You da man eric
Oh I know it hurts that the Warrior episode is the highest rated Nitro 😂😂
Warrior in WCW actually could've and should've worked better than it did. There was some potential for some good creative storylines. The match with Hogan at Havoc completely killed Warrior's time in WCW. One Warrior Nation should've been Warrior and Sting, not Warrior and Brutus Beefcake.
@@georgepapoulias3562 I don't give a shit about workrate or what the haters say, Goldberg Vs. Warrior was a PPV money match that should've been booked.
Everyone hates on Warrior because he was a shrewd business man and wasn't willing to bend over for the promoters like wrestlers were taught that they had to do in the past. Everyone cries about Warrior not being a nice guy.. like the wrestling business was full of nice guys willing to allow others to take their spots and pay days. It's hilarious to me to see all the hate for Warrior. At the end of the day he was a guy that set his sights on an incredibly challenging goal, to be in a top spot in the wrestling industry, and he did whatever it took to accomplish that in only several years. It's no surprise why other wrestlers didn't like him. Other wrestlers were 'paying their dues' by getting ribbed and ripped off by promoters for years whereas Warrior came in and beat Hogan for the belt within three years of stepping foot in the ring. That does not happen by accident. Clearly Warrior wasn't as stupid as everyone makes him out to be.
@@OneUltimateWarrior Could've worked. That could've been a good feud after Halloween Havoc. Warrior and Goldberg at Starrcade probably would've been better than Goldberg than Nash, considering that just led to a recycled nWO group with the black and red and black and white coming back together.
@@atthecabin4995 i agree with all of these replies. I think that Warrior's debut being the highest rated Nitro is poetic karma. Takes a huge dump on the faces of the folks who try and downplay his significance.
There are Meltzer Wanabees? Oh Alvarez
Yeah, Ive never been a ⚾ fan, but the hype around the McGuire/Sosa record chase was cool to see.
Only thing more cool was watching McGuire cry during that steroid trial.
The notion that an in-house attorney makes decisions on marketing and presentation is absurd.
Congrad losing some weight?
If so congrats my friend 👏😎👍
BISCHOFF! YOU’VE GOT NO GUTS.......WOoooooooooooooo
Another dope show! Good shit man!!
Good shit pal
Ahhh yeah, 83 weeks is back!
Love these watch alongs!
I got the Monday night jericho shirt I wear it all the time it's amazing
Yeah WCW had some funny t-shirts, like Eddy Guerrero is my favorite wrestler.
Love Eric’s innate “heel” persona
I don’t understand the hatred for Warrior? All the fans that grew up in that era, loved him. And as far as cutting too long of a promo, Warrior had not cut a promo since early 90s…So what’s wrong with that? I dare say all of the fans loved it? And the fans could careless especially at that time about his backstage craziness or his business antics!! He was money on stage whether he could wrestle or not!!
Because most Hardcore smarks want to believe Bret hart and Shawn Michaels were bigger than Warrior.
I loved Warrior, still do!
@@bourbon646they're delusional.
Warrior was one of the biggest characters of the late1980/early 1990s wwe. One of the biggest draws of that time. But in the late 90s it was outdated. In small doses it would have been ok. But that was too much
@@LorenzoMelchionda-lp2cu
Warrior was fine; the problem was that WCW creative had no idea what to do with him. I mean, they started positioning him as a repeat of the Crow Sting story in terms of being the guy who could take down the nWo, only creative did nothing cool with Warrior, whereas the Crow Sting stuff was really good up until Sting got in the ring with Hogan. Warrior in WCW ran out of steam quickly because creative did nothing cool with him and the match with Hogan wasn't good.
9/11/01 I was in 9th grade I just got done talking to my wrestling coach and walked into my 9th grade history class when it all happened and that was the day I decided to not go wrestle in college and instead join the marine corps and in 05 after I graduated I joined the marine corps and became a 50 cal machine gunner on top of a hmmwv and went to Iraq twice and Saudi Arabia..I lost friends I seen death but I feel it was the correct choice for me. It was a very dad day
Dirt sheets headline ....Eric Bischoff disrespects Triple H
Eric: Out of respect for the talent, I call them by their performer name.
Also Eric: Calls Triple H "Paul" 😂😂
Forget 83 week of wcw Mr bischoff remember your 83 week of impact in 2010 and 2011
I disagree with Eric that all of the people who watch AEW are Meltzer followers, like Eric, I think he’s a clown. I'm a wrestling fan, not just an AEW fan; I do read some wrestling news sites, but I take everything I read with a pinch of salt. I’m not one of these fans who can't take criticism of AEW either, for which the criticism is usually justified.
Is it just me or does this graphic on here look alot like "Randy the Ram" from The Wrestler movie? What's his name Mickey Rourke? Lol
I thought the same lol
Acting like you don't know his name 😂
Is Eris's neck ok?
Lol yes.
❤
Lil' E definitely ate paint chips as a kid…and quite possibly as an adult. WCW was so cringy, corny and downright lame at times! That "doctor" segment was rough. lol
Audio is trash
and i said to myself SELF....audio is trash!
I'm sorry but Tony Khan makes no sense to let cm punk go like that. I gave up on AEW pretty much and him and FTR were the real reason I started watching them again because of Collision ... Idk I do miss old school more realistic wrestling, that looks believable ... Not this Jungle Boy B.S.
All I heard was BS about AEW and CM Punk and talking over the watch along and I switched to something else. Epic fail for me.
Conny, you losing weight pal, atta boy!
Why are there so many audio problems with your podcasts? You are a multi millionaire with hundreds of thousands of subscribers and millions upon millions of views across multiple platforms. Please hire professional production to oversee this stuff. I mean this as constructive criticism. This is like WCW level production here.
Hogan couldn't wait to get out of there uh does the line that doesn't work for me brother ring a bell, creative control didn't he have to agree to all the warrior stuff that if correct Jason Hervey came up with
In my opinion gametime is stupid. It’s simple economics people if you purchase a ticket for $25 your seat is going to suck if you purchase your ticket for $550 then you’ll have a better view. You’re welcome.
It's cause people know it's dynashit! Nostalgia is what brought 80k people to Wembley. Otherwise it's tanking bad
I wonder if they manage the little fact that this Nitro ran unopposed by Raw which was pre-emptied for the US Open. It was still just a 6.0. By December 1998 Raw managed a 5.15 rating, while Nitro did a 4.2. Much more impressive. As is of course the unopposed 8.1 rating Raw drew in May 1999 when Nitro was booted off TNT for the NBA Playoffs.
But they and the marks will probably act as if this was because of Warrior, lol.
They discussed that very early in the show
Eric Bischoff the type of guy who failed at TNA and is jealous of AEW. Mic Drop 🎤.
Where is the Hulk Hogan transformation episode?
Still waiting...
He hasn't finished transforming.
@@georgepapoulias3562 Ooh your brain must really hurt coming up with that clever witticism. How long did it take to rip that one out of your ass😆
9/11 will also be the final completely owned by vinnymac Monday night raw, crazy to think.
Yes people, it takes a minute to get Chad gable over
No tony doesn't need to delegate to twinkletwat omega and the dumb bucks!
Eric, tony has everything to lose! Those guys just taking millions have nothing to lose.
Is Conrad dropping weight?
Why did Eric let Giant go to WWF?
Cause he was not a draw and not worth the cash he was asking for
And he was over 100lbs overweight and had a bad attitude.
@@billdolan847He wasn't overweight in 1999.
He was in better shape in 1999 compared to 1998.
Bischoff said he was mopey. Why keep a guy aroud, who doesn't want to be there?
