On this special episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson look back at some of Eric's most talked-about Top 5 lists, diving deep into the moments that defined — and sometimes derailed — WCW Monday Nitro. Eric ranks his Top 5 all-time favorite Nitro matches, debating where Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs. Bill Goldberg lands, which classic cruiserweight show-stealers make the cut, whether the very first Nitro match — Brian Pillman vs. Justin "Thunder" Liger — earns a spot, and how many legendary nWo bouts truly stand the test of time.

The conversation then takes a sharp turn as Eric breaks down his Top 5 WCW Fails, revisiting the awful moments, terrible decisions, and embarrassing gimmicks that still make fans cringe.

And finally, Eric lays out his Top 5 reasons why WCW Nitro simply looked better than WWE Raw during the height of the Monday Night War. Love it or hate it, this episode is classic 83 Weeks — honest, opinionated, and guaranteed to spark debate.

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.

On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric and Conrad rewind 30 years to revisit the very first time Sting went one-on-one with Hulk Hogan on WCW Monday Nitro! Was this match a glimpse into the future of the company? And did Hogan's all-black gear hint that he was already testing the waters of a heel turn? Eric breaks down the atmosphere, the intrigue, and the bizarre context of this moment in WCW history — long before the nWo was even an idea.

If that's not enough, Eric gives his LIVE reaction to Tony Khan's interview on The Ariel Helwani Show. What did Eric think about Tony's comments on him, his influence, and his impact on Tony's own thought process and career?
