Listen Later

On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson welcome one of the most respected voices in combat sports and professional wrestling, Ariel Helwani, for a wide ranging conversation on the biggest topics in the business today.

The trio dives into the remarkable rise of Danhausen and why his current run is resonating with fans in a way few performers have managed in recent years. Eric explains why Danhausen has his finger firmly on the pulse of the modern wrestling audience and what promoters can learn from his success.

Eric and Ariel also explore why the nWo remains one of the most influential acts in wrestling history, discussing its lasting impact on fans and the fascinating story behind the group nearly having a television show of its own. Three decades later, the black-and-white phenomenon continues to shape the industry.

Plus, has WWE creative finally jumped the shark? Eric doesn't hold back as he shares his thoughts on some of the company's recent creative decisions. The conversation also turns to Cody Rhodes, with Bischoff explaining why he's losing interest in Cody as a babyface champion and what could reignite that connection with the audience.

Finally, it's a special edition of "On The Nose: WCW Edition" as Ariel Helwani joins Eric and Conrad to test his knowledge and opinions on some of WCW's biggest moments, personalities, and controversies.
