Before reality TV power couples and Instagram fitness influencers, there was Chyna & Triple H. She was the trailblazing superstar smashing wrestling's glass ceiling.

"Tko se duhovno ne bori, dozvoljava zlu da ga pobijedi." Darko Tepert

On this edition of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson dive headfirst into the biggest stories making waves across professional wrestling, MMA, and beyond. Eric explains why he believes TNA Wrestling still has a legitimate path toward long-term success and separates fact from fiction when it comes to the company's much-debated financial outlook. Eric also shares his candid thoughts on Road Dogg's place within the TKO era WWE, why he believes the WWE Hall of Famer was ultimately out of place in the new corporate environment, and what that says about the changing landscape of sports entertainment. Plus, Bischoff revisits one of the most iconic moments in wrestling history and reveals why he asked Scott Hall and Kevin Nash the unforgettable question, "Do you work for the WWF?" during the birth of the nWo. The guys also tackle a strange find in a Marvel comic, did Marvel somehow create name Hulk Hogan in 1961? Then, Eric shares why he's so proud of the incredible rise of Danhausen, despite never having met the viral wrestling sensation. As if that wasn't enough, Eric and Conrad spend plenty of time discussing the latest developments in Real American Freestyle, the growing crossover between combat sports and professional wrestling, and the current state of the UFC. From business strategy to star power and everything in between, Eric offers his unique perspective on where these industries are headed next.     THIS WEEKS SPONSORS HARRY'S PLUS - Get the Harry's Plus Trial Set for only $10 at https://harrys.com/83WEEKS #Harryspod BLUECHEW - Right now, when you buy two months of BlueChew Gold, you get the third for FREE with promo code 83WEEKS.

After over forty years of being apart of the WWE universe, I've decided that enough is enough. Today, I explain why.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Turnbuckle Tavern is powered by G FUEL and Official Dick Lazer. Use code TAVERN for 20% off at GFUEL.com and DickLazers.com. Episode 190 is headlined by a major development in Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, as all parties have received approval to move the case toward private arbitration. We discuss what the canceled June 16 hearing, the July 10 status report, and the potential move to confidential arbitration could mean, not just legally but publicly, as questions grow about whether WWE and TKO may eventually test the waters for a Vince McMahon rehabilitation tour. We also break down CM Punk's expected WWE return. Punk has been announced for FanaticsFest on July 19, reports continue to point toward a return on or before the July 6 Raw near Chicago, and Dave Meltzer reports WWE's current plan is for Punk to join the SmackDown roster. We examine the teased Cody Rhodes program, why creative changes delayed his return, and what it could mean for SummerSlam. Rhea Ripley is dealing with issues both inside and outside the ring. WWE revealed that the Women's Champion is being evaluated for a knee injury suffered in Italy, while Ripley also opened up about fans crossing major boundaries, including showing up at her home and one person obtaining her personal phone number after being unable to purchase SmackDown tickets. On the AEW side, we look at ticket sales for Redemption in Montreal and Grand Slam Mexico, with both events showing encouraging early momentum. Redemption has distributed 4,782 tickets and is already approaching AEW's previous Bell Centre number, while Grand Slam Mexico sits at 5,146 tickets distributed, well above AEW's current 2026 attendance average. We also cover NJPW Dominion 2026, where five championships changed hands. Yota Tsuji regained the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, Shota Umino captured the IWGP Global Championship, YOH became the 100th IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, Aaron Wolf reclaimed the NEVER Openweight Championship, and Great O Khan and HENARE captured the IWGP Tag Team Championships. Plus, Gabe Kidd returned and immediately inserted himself into the title picture. The road to G1 Climax 36 is now set as NJPW finalizes its play in matches. We discuss Aaron Wolf's rapid rise, the final qualifying matches, and how the field is shaping up before the tournament begins July 11 in Chicago. John Cena also shares new details on the planned John Cena Classic, including WWE's version of an All Star Game, a new championship, fan voting, cross brand exhibition matches, and the possibility, however unlikely, of one more match. Plus, UFC Freedom 250 becomes one of the strangest stories of the year. The FBI says it foiled an alleged attack plot targeting the White House event, Dana White publicly criticized Josh Hokit's remarks about Michelle Obama, Roman Reigns, Nick Khan, Paul Levesque, Shane McMahon, and Declan McMahon were all in attendance, and Daniel Cormier found himself at the center of a bizarre social media controversy involving Eric Trump. From there, we head to TNA, where the company is undergoing major changes. Tessa Blanchard has been granted her release after reportedly declining an exclusive contract offer, while longtime creative figure Tommy Dreamer has mutually parted ways with the promotion after nearly a decade in leadership and creative roles. We break down the reported wrestling politics involving TNA, WWE, AAA, CMLL, and AEW that may have contributed to Blanchard's departure, discuss Dreamer's exit and his impact on the company behind the scenes, examine the reports linking Road Dogg to a potential role in TNA's creative future, and explore what these departures could mean for the company's direction moving forward. We also preview the week ahead, including Cody Rhodes defending the WWE Championship against Gunther with Sami Zayn as special guest referee, Charlotte Flair facing Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring semifinals, Mercedes Moné battling Hazuki in the Owen Hart Tournament, AEW's continued build toward Forbidden Door, and a loaded slate of action from NJPW, TNA, and more.

UFC Freedom 250 was every bit the spectacle it was made out to be. It had everything from fireworks to Tyson Fury getting his own special walkout. Why, you ask—who knows, but it was a thing that happened. All the brass showed up including Hunter Campbell, Nick Khan and Ari Emanuel. The crowd on the Ellipse was massive, and the crowd sitting cageside consisted of military members and first responders decked out in their uniforms. The orchestra sounded amazing and the music was as all-American as apple pie. Even when this very MAGA outfit played YMCA—one of the most recognizable gay anthems ever. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they think they've claimed it for themselves.The card opened with Diego Lopes absolutely destroying Steve Garcia. The first round was a bit tentative, but the second was where all the action went down. Lopes would stop Garcia with a barrage of punches that put his lights out. That was followed by Bo Nickal stopping Kyle Daukaus in the first with a nice TKO.Michael Chandler never stood a chance against Maurio Ruffy. Ruffy was patient as Chandler evaded him, taking forever to get close enough to engage, but when it finally happened, Ruffy punished him with spinning head kicks and hammering punches. Finally, mercifully, Mauricio finished him off toward the end of the round via TKO. Michael Chandler is truly washed.Josh Hokit might be a gross character with absolutely no vocal talent, but he had the exact recipe to dispatch Derrick Lewis. He punished Lewis on the feet, who was completely exhausted before the first round was over. Hokit would finish him in the second via TKO, likely increasing his UFC stock in the process.Sean O'Malley was dominant with his striking all the way through his fight with Aiemann Zahabi. Zahabi used a leg kick assault, that wasn't as effective as he'd hoped. Sean found his moment with a big left, followed it up with a giant right then saluted the crowd as Zahabi fell back. The Petr Yan callout happened, as expected, and you have to believe that fight will happen sometime this year.Cyril Gane took some hard low kicks and one or two big punches over the course of the first round against Poatan. The second round, however, was an entirely different story, as he tuned up Alex Pereira, mauling him with big strikes, knocking him down and raining ground and pound like a man possessed. Herb dean would let it go on though, and over the course of the next 45 seconds, Gane beat Alex as if he stole his lunch money on the playground. The end was inevitable and it came via TKO. Poatan is a 205er.Justin Gaethje was a huge underdog going in, so it is a fitting end that he walks away tonight with the undisputed belt. The fight was back and forth, with Topuria almost finishing Justin in the second, and Gaethje wrecking Ilia in the third. Topuria's face was a red mask of destruction. The doctor's came in before the fourth, almost stopping the fight but Marc Goddard had the physicians reassess and they let it move forward. Topuria fought a good fourth round, but his team threw in the towel before the fifth and Justin Gaethje was crowned the new lightweight king.Now that we've reviewed the highlights, let's check out the results and bonuses while we're here.MMA Vivisection & 6th Round is a reader-supported publication.

One of the top pound for pound fighters in the sport is back and we're ready to discuss his title challenge and go over a bunch of fight news, as well on the newest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast!"Host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael of his Fight Freaks Unite Substack and newsletter are back with all of their insight and takes.First, a preview of the Saturday night's Matchroom DAZN main event at Glendale, Ariz.Antonio Vargas vs. Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez, 12 rounds, for Vargas' WBA bantamweight title. Bam is looking for another world title in a 3rd division with sights set on Naoya "the Monster" Inoue.

Is this simply smart business planning, or is WWE intentionally maneuvering around AEW's biggest events?That leads to a larger conversation about WWE's counterprogramming strategy. With Night of Champions, Forbidden Door, Slammiversary, and Great American Bash all stacked into the same weekend, who actually benefits?

We break down the online speculation, Sean Ross Sapp addressing the "reckless speculation," Fightful Select pushing back on claims that Punk wanted out or was asked to take a pay cut, and PWInsider reporting that Punk is expected back on WWE television in the coming months with new merchandise being prepared. We also discuss Ariel Helwani's blunt criticism of WWE under TKO, including his comments calling the current product "soulless," his issues with WrestleMania, his disappointment in the John Cena retirement tour, and his belief that WWE may have creatively peaked with Cody Rhodes defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. From there, we get into the latest legal and business stories surrounding WWE. A settlement agreement in principle has been reached in the WWE shareholder lawsuit, cancelling the Delaware Chancery Court trial that was expected to feature testimony from Vince McMahon, Nick Khan, Paul Levesque, Mark Shapiro, Ari Emanuel, and others. We also cover WWE moving Money in the Bank again, with the show now set for October 10 in New Orleans, while September 6 will instead feature a special Sunday edition of Saturday Night's Main Event in Atlanta. The road to Night of Champions is also heating up as the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments continue. Je'Von Evans, Dominik Mysterio, and Oba Femi have advanced on the men's side, while Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and IYO SKY are moving forward in the women's bracket. We also discuss Cody Rhodes and Gunther running it back for the Undisputed WWE Championship on the June 19 episode of SmackDown, with Gunther set to choose the stipulation. On the AEW side, we look at All In 2026 ticket sales lagging behind previous Wembley Stadium events, MJF's hyperextended knee injury and why AEW still expects to use him, and the growing movement around the vacant TBS Championship with Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander, Mina Shirakawa, Harley Cameron, Zayda Steel, and Queen Aminata all declaring for Survival of the Fittest qualifiers. We also dive into Stardom's major presence in North America. Syuri, Hazuki, Ranna Yagami, and Fuwa-chan will miss the 2026 5 Star Grand Prix due to excursions, while Syuri challenges Athena for the ROH Women's World Championship at Global Wars Cincinnati and Hazuki prepares to face Mercedes Moné in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament semifinals.

There's been a bit of a change in WWE recently– the matches on RAW have been longer and of noticeably higher quality. The cards for the upcoming PLEs (more on that later) are particularly stacked. Dare we say that TKO has released its vice grip on the booking team after WrestleMania failed to live up to standards? We can only guess? In fact, the only thing that's dampening the optimism is the fact that Brock Lesnar made is short-awaited debut to continue his program with Oba Femi.  The Main Event Aside from the wrestling ring and every item that's involved in a match being converted into a sponsorship, the surest sign of WWE's big business era is their PLE strategy. This is the latest evolution in their monthly shows that used to be known as PPVs. So let's start with a look back.  The Three Count Danielle put over Effy's new merch!

Ultimate Fighters Episode 9 - Ultimate Fighters: Donald Trump, Dana White and UFC's Road to the White HouseToday's episode will cover the History and Background of the UFC, Colby Covington, Mark Shapiro, TKO, Donald Trump, Dana White, up to date News, White House, and so much more! Two unbreakable fighters. One unbreakable bond. A road that led straight to the White House.In the shadows of mainstream headlines, a powerful alliance has shaped American culture and politics for decades. Donald Trump—real estate tycoon, reality TV star, twice-elected President—found a kindred spirit in Dana White, the man who rescued the Ultimate Fighting Championship from near-collapse and built it into a global empire. Their friendship began in 2001 when Trump offered his Atlantic City casino as a lifeline for the fledgling UFC, hosting events no one else would touch.What followed was a saga of mutual loyalty and shared triumphs: White's steadfast support through Trump's campaigns and controversies, Trump's ringside presence electrifying crowds at UFC events, and the raw energy of the Octagon fueling a political movement. From early casino nights to White House visits, Republican National Convention endorsements, and landmark moments tying mixed martial arts to American power, this is the untold story.Ultimate Fighters: Donald Trump, Dana White and UFC's Road to the White House - https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Fighters-Donald-Trump-White-ebook/dp/B0GT9WWYDR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25O8D85ZAHJIM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.j_rahjBUgwUaZv0a4ffk-30tGZqsYe8rq2J2NeGY-PkmoUb_vl8UUjAZomrTsPK6D1QV78V-fXYrJ9Y8w0e0zT5SUe5aD4Cmuo1xillF3y8u0f9wjN3iKT5CVkB5GsZqpiMTAvkNkgagtezZ_oPujgHf62gWz5CivDCV8Cs4NmykZWJK5KpwoXl1us19mF2XOFY8TGQB1Gk-3dqaQwouMQpwXR3_CsbrYnUGgAjux0I.-ymjHyKRVnbz0xw6JwyAu1N0SDdw4QYxYw6sQzNypYI&dib_tag=se&keywords=Ultimate+Fighters&qid=1774229356&sprefix=%2Caps%2C1399&sr=8-1

JBL opens up about being genuinely surprised to see major changes surrounding The New Day, admitting he once believed Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods would spend their entire careers as WWE lifers.

On this episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross and Conrad Thompson dive into some of the biggest conversations shaping the wrestling business today. JR explains why taking wrestling to new venues and fresh markets is a smart move for the industry, and how changing the atmosphere can re-energize both fans and talent alike. JR also reflects on his relationship with Ted Turner, sharing stories about Turner's loyalty, leadership, and the support he showed throughout JR's career. The conversation then turns to the realities of wrestling contracts, as JR breaks down why a five-year deal doesn't always mean a guaranteed five-year run in today's business climate. Plus, JR gives his thoughts on the evolving "TKO playbook," how corporate decision-making is reshaping the wrestling landscape, and why reducing the number of house shows may ultimately help preserve talent health and extend careers. All that and JR takes us inside the pages of his incredible book, "Business Is About To Pick Up" for his telling of the historic WrestleMania 25 match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels.  BLUECHEW - Right now, when you buy two months of BlueChew Gold, you get the third for FREE with promo code JR.
