Thirty years later, we're celebrating one of the most shocking and influential moments in professional wrestling history! On this special edition of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson take you back to Bash at the Beach 1996, the night the wrestling world changed forever when Hulk Hogan stunned fans by turning his back on the red and yellow, aligning with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, and helping launch the New World Order.

Eric shares firsthand memories from inside the arena, the creative process behind one of wrestling's greatest plot twists, the risks involved in pulling it off, and how close the moment came to never happening. Hear what was going through Eric's mind before Hogan walked through the curtain, how the infamous reveal came together, and why this single angle forever altered the business.
