  • On this episode of 83Weeks, Eric sits back and watches the December 7th edition of Monday Night RAW from 25 years ago for the very first time! Eric shares his thoughts on the WWE using a "symbol" to hang Stone Cold Steve Austin on, how the NWO was way cooler than DX in 1998, and his true feelings about a buried alive match. All that plus, Eric has a great idea on how he should get his head shaved, once again after losing a bet to Conrad.

    It's funny how people crap on the Ministry era of the Undertaker, yet I can tell you first hand it was one of the driving forces that popped the ratings for the WWF in late 98 into mid 99.

    • @ashleyburns6752

      It also fit well into pop culture at the time with goths, horror films that were popular at the time, Buffy the Vampire slayer etc.

    Conrad is totally wrong about Steve Blackman, he was so over with fans especially young ones. He had awesome entrance music and the numbchucks. The amount of ads is hilarious, my favourite was a few weeks ago where Eric said he had something important to talk about, and it ended up just being an ad for some crappy meat company😂. He also said he wasnt being paid, yet they had graphics and their website on the screen 😅.
    These guys are just salesmen, nothing more nothing less, this show must be 65% ads if you added it up.

      Yes. I agree. I pay for premium and I understand that that means the "commercial" ad interruptions, and Conrad needs his ad revenue, but it's bullshit because I pay specifically for no ads. I'm not going to pay for UA-cam with no ads AND ad free shows. These people are just greedy.

    • @Jay-Kaizo
      @Jay-Kaizo 8 місяців тому

      Yeah, they do and I understand that, but there are so many better ways. I listen to a lot of podcasts while doing other things and here it's just, read script and act like you care about the product. Then throw all the save with Conrad's on top and it's just too much@@PIP-zf9yb

    I do find it a little hypocritical that Bischoff referred to Punk as looking like "someone who worked on my car at Jiffy Lube" when he was in AEW, but now that he's in WWE, it's a great story.

    • @parisiennemoonlight6650
      @parisiennemoonlight6650 8 місяців тому

      That's because Punk was not presented like a big-time star with his appearance and was fighting guys that has no right to be in the same ring with him in AEW. In WWE, he has guys like Drew, Seth, Samy, KO, Cody, Jey, LA Knight, Gunther, Damian Priest, Roman to feud and they are all stars and that's why it's exciting and a vast pool of storylines.

    I think they didn't talk about that Michael Cole and Lawler were on commentary, but shots of JR & the King are shown in the arena, because JR suffered another bout of Bell's Pasley at Capital Carnage and couldn't record the live commentary that night for the taped Raw.

    I’m not taking away from the innovations Eric was part of in the business, and admittedly he says he doesn’t know much about the in ring aspect of wrestling, but when he says chyna was a better worker than sherri martel, he really comes off dumb. Sherri was a better worker than a lot of
    The guys in the business during her career. I don’t need his opinions on in ring work every again after that verbal diarrhea.
