On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric and Conrad take a deep dive into TKO’s growing involvement in the world of sports entertainment, exploring what their presence means for the industry and how it could shape the future of both WWE and AEW. From business strategy to creative influence, the guys break down the opportunities and challenges that come with a powerhouse like TKO stepping further into the spotlight.

In addition, Eric looks back on his time working with Terry Taylor during the WCW years. Was Terry an underrated talent behind the scenes? What unique skills did he bring to the table, and how did his contributions impact WCW’s direction during that era? Eric opens up about their working relationship and gives an honest assessment of what he feels was Terry’s greatest strength in the business.
