Hulk Hogan has said the "Finger Poke of Doom" was the "beginning of the end of WCW," and no one really disagreed with him... or did they? Find out what Eric Bischoff thinks of this angle with the benefit of nearly 20 years hindsight. We address the rumor that Goldberg shot down the first idea for his angle with Liz and how Eric thinks Goldberg and Liz did in their acting roles that night. Plus Conrad presses Eric to defend the silliness of a "Hogan running for President" angle, clarification on Kevin Nash's role behind the scenes, why Eric put him in that position, when the plan was in place to hand Hogan the title, who got Goldberg a 1000% raise from WCW, an incredible story you've probably never heard before about a huge mainstream deal Turner turned down, and a tidbit about a word you couldn't say on WCW TV that you just will not believe! Of all the things on this episode to discuss, only one decision made that night really mattered and it led to 600,000 folks changing the channel. Conrad breaks down "butts in the seats" in detail and makes Eric has to own it. Oh and Eric buries two legends in the business to the point it leaves Conrad speechless. Eric is fired up and ready to breakdown the FINGER POKE OF DOOM!

Plus the guys tackle the “rumor and innuendo” about the Harlem Heat at this event, why the name was changed, who was supposed to be in Beefcake’s spot, Heenan drinking before shows, who dressed Tony Schiavone, and what may have been “off” about Hulk Hogan that night.

On this episode of 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson, the guys discuss TNA's attempts to move their Impact show to Monday nights to compete with WWE's Monday Night Raw! Eric arrived with Hulk Hogan (and Jimmy Hart) in late 2009, and debuted on TNA television on Monday January 4th, 2010. Soon enough, the internal debate between the companies and their fans was about to finally play out: could TNA and their roster compete with the WWE on a level playing field? On March 8th, 2010, the "Monday Night Wars" would return.

Opening and closing the show would be Hogan and Abyss vs. Ric Flair and AJ Styles. Finally making his TNA debut vs. Sting, would be former WWE and ECW champ Rob Van Dam, and also appearing on the show would be Jeff Jarrett, Sean Waltman, Eric Young, The Beautiful People, Beer Money Inc., Daniels and Kazarian, Mike Tenay, Taz and many more! But how did this all come to fruition? How did TNA finally lure Hogan into the fold? What were Eric's thoughts on and expectations for the company at that time? What did he think of the roster? How and why were talents like Jeff Hardy, Ken Anderson, Sean Morley, Lacey Von Erich, and even Bubba The Love Sponge brought on board? What were Eric's dealings with Dixie Carter and Panda Energy like, and so much more!

On this episode of 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson, the subject is WCW SuperBrawl 2000! Eric was on his "vacation" from WCW at the time, but upon looking up at a TV while on a dinner date with his wife, he saw the Radicalz appear on WWE Monday Night Raw, and he knew a call from Brad Siegel was imminent...which it was. Eric would begin discussions to return shortly thereafter, but in the meantime, WCW was sort of sputtering along, with SuperBrawl 2000 being a strong example of that. The card included WCW Champion Sid Vicious defending against Scott Hall and Jeff Jarrett, Hulk Hogan against Lex Luger. Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk in a Texas Death Match, Billy Kidman vs. Vampiro, Big T (Ahmed Johnson) vs. Booker T, and a disaster of a "match" between Tank Abbott and "Big Al." Also on the card were The Mamalukes, David Flair, The Wall, The Demon, 3 Count and more! Hear Eric's thoughts on the card, plus he also discusses his trip to Qatar, Bobby Heenan being replaced by Mark Madden on Nitro, WCW gaining a new developmental territory, the XFL back in 2000 compared to today, Sabu and his almost but not quite WCW contract and run around this time, working with Paul Heyman in the past and the present, who was on the WCW booking committee/creative team in February 2000, Sting and Hulk Hogan both giving controversial mainstream interviews, and Scott Hall's behavior and his WCW run coming to a close!
