On this episode of Something To Wrestle, John Layfield and Conrad Thompson tackle a pair of topics guaranteed to get wrestling fans talking! First, the guys dissect recent comments from WWE Hall of Famer The Great Muta about the differences between second-generation wrestlers in Japan and the United States. Does growing up in the business give talent an advantage or create expectations that are almost impossible to live up to? John weighs in on how wrestling families are viewed on both sides of the world and whether a famous last name can be both a blessing and a curse. Then, John and Conrad dive headfirst into a debate professional wrestling may need to have: Should acting classes be mandatory for wrestlers? John explains why learning to act could be just as important as learning to bump, how better performance skills could improve promos and storytelling, and why today's talent could benefit from training that goes far beyond the wrestling ring. Plus, Curtain Jerkers is back! John and Casio welcome Gangrel for stories, laughs, and a look back at the unforgettable career of one of the Attitude Era's most distinctive characters.     THIS WEEKS SPONSORS BLUECHEW - When you buy two months of BlueChew Gold, you get the third FREE with promo code WRESTLE.

As "The Voice of Wrestling" Jim Ross continues his recovery, we're firing up the time machine and heading back 30 years for one of the strangest nights in Monday Night RAW history, the first and last RAW Bowl! Jim Ross and Conrad Thompson revisit the January 1, 1996 edition of RAW and the WWF's unforgettable attempt to kick off the new year with a football-themed wrestling spectacle.

Is Roman Reigns really the most overrated main eventer in WWE history—or does that title belong to Hulk Hogan? First Black Champ breaks down Conrad Thompson's viral 83 Weeks take, Kazeem Famuyide's defense of Roman, Hogan's pre-nWo run, and why “overrated” does not mean terrible.Plus, we recap SummerSlam Night Two: Roman Reigns retains against Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens returns, Chelsea Green suffers an orbital injury after winning the Women's World Title, Chad Gable beats Penta, Baron Corbin takes Trick Williams' title, and Danhausen defeats Dominik Mysterio.

On this week's edition of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson tackle the biggest stories in professional wrestling with Eric's trademark honesty and behind the scenes perspective. The conversation begins with one of WWE's most debated topics as Eric asks, "Is Sami Zayn the new Danhausen?"After famously admitting he underestimated Danhausen's connection with fans, Eric explains why he's wrestling with many of the same questions surrounding Sami Zayn's championship run. Has WWE made the right decision, or is there something Eric still isn't seeing? The guys also explore whether this could be the perfect opportunity for Cody Rhodes to make the shocking leap to the dark side. Could a heel turn be exactly what Cody's character needs, and what would it take for WWE to pull it off in a way that feels authentic and compelling? Then the show shifts into wrestling history as Eric breaks down one of the defining strengths of Scott Hall and Kevin Nash during the formation of the New World Order. From their unmatched confidence to their instinctive understanding of television production, Eric explains how Hall and Nash knew exactly how to command the camera and capture an audience unlike anyone else.     THIS WEEKS SPONSORS LARINECO - Larineco is better-for-you chewing gum that uses the same mineral your teeth are made of to support daily enamel health.
