DCW Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 On 6/5/2018 at 2:41 PM, tiger_rick said: I'm enjoying the Bischoff podcast "83 weeks". I skipped a couple of the early ones and jumped to some of the less talked about topics and it's a good listen. It's not flawless. Bischoff has a terrible memory for detail, goes over the top in some criticism and can be hypocritical but he is good on the principals of what he was trying to acheive, entertaining when he feels wronged and honest about a lot of mistakes (not all). Conrad can be obnoxious but is good at not letting Eric just bullshit his way through. Much prefer their chemistry to Pritchard and Conrad who annoy the fuck out of me. They're a parody. Conrad works better on this. There's an epic Chris Jericho episode up now that I've been working through. I think it's about 4 hours. Really enjoying it too. Probably helps that unlike Prichard, Bisch doesn't need a job off Vince, so isn't afraid to put the boot in every once in a while. Think not listening to two southern accents also helps, in all honesty. Makes Conrad seem bearable. I attempted to listen to the Bob Holly episode of something to wrestle, but began to question my sanity about 20 minutes in and gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that happen? Were they giving away free tickets at the door? Or did I totally mishear something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted June 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) 83 Weeks is a good listen, but Bischoff isn't as good as Prichard at lying. He's been caught out a couple of times already. Bischoff is easily more likeable than Prichard and it's nice hearing him point out that, despite how the narrative has went since WWE bought WCW, some of his ideas were brilliant and WWE pinched a lot of them. A lot of bad ones too, like, but those aren't his of course. Edited June 7, 2018 by ColinBollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of freebies in the build-up, they only had 2,200 sold a couple of weeks out so they went overboard on the free tix. And yeah, those were the final stats, nuts...

matbro1984 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Something To Wrestle With would be so much more bearable without the shit catchphrases. "Rumour and innuendo" is not going to happen. Pritchard has a lot of good stories to tell, but the format is hard work to listen through. And who is buying Conrad T shirts? https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/bruceprichard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted June 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2018 One of my pet peeves of the show is when Prichard says anything remotely catchphrase worthy, Conrad busts in with his "that's a t-shirt" stuff. Fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2018 It took me longer than most to get sick of Conrad but he's been annoying as fuck whenever I've listened recently. My latest pet hate is him going "TWO TIME...TWO TIME" or whatever in Road Dogg style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Stick your play speed on 1&1/2, it’s much easier to get through. He’s still a headache, but at least you get done quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I also rely on 1.5 speed for his shows, makes them much easier and their southern slow drawl just sounds normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
returner82 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Listening to YouTube clips here and there, because that's all I can stomach of the fat arsehole, I found myself constantly irritated my his pronunciation of "Chorna" (Chyna). Prichard I can manage, the money mark I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 In Conrad’s defence, his genuine shock at the surprise appaearance on the 83 weeks Dusty Rhodes show, and then on talk is Jericho doing a Jericho’s side of things show, he was really good. But when you give him the position of power in a conversation he can be grating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted June 17, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 17, 2018 @Liam O'Rourke how long do you envision the timeline series going on for? It's been clear for a fair bit of 1999 that the war has been won - will you be sticking it out until WCW has folded, or will you stop before then?
