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.       THIS WEEKS SPONSORS BLUECHEW - Right now, when you buy two months of BlueChew Gold, you get the third for FREE with promo code 83WEEKS.

In this PWTorch Dailycast series titled "Worse or Better," Josh White and Stephanie Chase discuss one aspect of today's pro wrestling scene and compare it to a previous era or eras and decide if today is... worse or better. Stephanie and Josh were quick to determine that there are too many titles before moving on to discuss the difference between current-day WWE and AEW in regard to the sheer number of titles. They marched through the early days of WWE and the establishment of the Intercontinental Title, the Attitude Era and WCW during that period, and finally, the brand split, which brought on even more titles. Discussion flowed back into AEW and their obsession with titles during their short history and non-title trinkets before Josh and Steph made a final decision on whether or not the midcard title situation of today is worse or better than previous eras.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pwtorch-dailycast--3276210/support.

The war between WCW and WWE was reaching its boiling point.  Bret Hart would challenge The Undertaker for the WWE Championship, with the controversial Shawn Michaels as the special referee.  Tensions were high, and the show titled "Hart and Soul" brought a series of stories and stipulations to a talent-stacked card. Despite the talent and star power, the show struggled, and would also play scene to one of the most damaging and defining injuries to a Superstar in history.  Join Stefan Bennett as he walks us through the time as well as the events leading up to and following the card in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

In this episode of Kliq This, wrestling legend Kevin Nash and co-host Sean Oliver dive down an eclectic rabbit hole that effortlessly blends hard-hitting sports commentary with bizarre internet culture. The duo kicks things off with a wild exploration of viral conspiracy theories involving high-profile musicians before shifting gears to dissect the intricate nuances of modern wrestling contracts. Listeners will get an insider's look into the controversial clauses and behind-the-scenes financial strategies that shape the careers of today's biggest sports entertainment stars, proving once again that the real drama often happens far away from the squared circle.

The hosts challenge conventional booking logic and question the creative decisions of corporate executives, offering fans a masterclass in the stark differences between a live wrestling production and a polished feature film. Beyond the ring, the episode transitions into a lively blend of personal anecdotes and cultural commentary, ranging from treacherous road trips across the Canadian border to high-stakes current events.

We break down WWE Backlash 2026 from every angle as the company heads into its first Backlash event of the ESPN era in the United States. Roman Reigns defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu in the biggest match on the card, with the Bloodline story entering a completely new phase after reports surfaced that Reigns is currently not planned for Night of Champions or the June television leading into it. We discuss the family history behind the match, Jacob Fatu's rise from enforcer to true singles star, and why this feels like the biggest opportunity of his WWE career so far. Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker may be the most personal match on the show as the collapse of The Vision finally comes to a head. Seth Rollins opened up this week about creating the faction because of insecurity and distrust toward Roman Reigns and CM Punk, while Bron Breakker continues trying to prove he has completely outgrown his former mentor and is ready to become WWE's next centerpiece star. The WWE United States Championship feud between Trick Williams and Sami Zayn has become one of the strangest stories in wrestling all year. We discuss the reported backstage pushback toward the Gingerbread Man storyline, why several people in WWE reportedly viewed the angle as "hokey and archaic," and Sami Zayn's explanation that he intentionally wanted to experiment with a character shift designed to divide the audience rather than function as a traditional heel turn. We also preview IYO SKY vs. Asuka, Danhausen's mystery partner situation against The Miz and Kit Wilson, and the growing speculation that Jelly Roll could appear at Backlash despite CM Punk remaining the betting favorite internally and externally. John Cena also continues heavily teasing what he calls a "history-making" announcement at Backlash that will "shock the very foundation of WWE." Reports now point toward the possible launch of Club WWE tied to the company's growing ESPN integration, and we discuss why WWE is clearly positioning the announcement as one of the defining talking points of the entire event. Outside WWE, one of the biggest stories in wrestling involves Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods officially leaving WWE after reportedly rejecting TKO restructuring deals. We break down the end of The New Day as an active WWE act, why the situation feels different from a normal release, the AEW interest already surrounding both men, and what their departures say about WWE's changing business structure under TKO. AEW delivered an emotional tribute to Ted Turner following his passing at 87 years old. Sting made a surprise appearance alongside Tony Schiavone to honor the man responsible for keeping wrestling alive on TBS and TNT for decades. We reflect on Turner's impact on wrestling history, WCW surviving because of his commitment to the business, and why modern wrestling television likely looks completely different without him. We also discuss AEW Double or Nothing trending toward one of the company's strongest domestic crowds in years from Queens, New York, while Stadium Stampede officially returns for the first time since 2021. Chris Jericho, Ricochet, The Gates of Agony, and The Hurt Syndicate are all becoming part of one of AEW's signature match concepts once again as the company leans harder into faction warfare and spectacle. Plus, we cover Lei Ying Lee regaining the TNA Knockouts World Championship, Yota Tsuji earning an IWGP Heavyweight Championship rematch against Callum Newman for NJPW Dominion, MLW and CMLL's crossover event from Arena México, and the NWA celebrating the reported audience for Powerrr's return to broadcast television on Comet TV. Then we look ahead to Raw, NXT, AEW Dynamite, TNA Impact, SmackDown, AEW Collision, NWA Powerrr, WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, Double or Nothing, Dominion, and the rest of the upcoming wrestling calendar.
