On this week's 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson, Eric and Conrad discuss the how, why, and when of the beginnings of Eric's association with TNA Wrestling. Did Eric feel he was done in the wrestling business after the end of his WWE run? What was his experience like writing a book? How did the Hulkamania Tour of Australia come about? How did Eric first become aware of TNA, what did he think of their weekly PPV model, what type of contact did he have with them through the years, and how did it all lead to Eric and Hulk Hogan joining the promotion? All this plus talk about Jerry Jarrett, Jeff Jarrett, Dixie Carter, Vince Russo, and so much more! Support us on Patreon for even more content from Eric & Conrad for just $9!
