I despise AEW but the talent gap is gargantuan. You never respected wrestling so it’s no surprise you were wrong here. I’d love a company to overtake AEW but how do they do that with DOLPH ZIGGLER as a top guy?

In my opinion the differences between Conrad and Bischoff make for the most solid dynamic in pairing. Two guys I don’t get tired of. Please keep this pairing. Also bring on more guests.

…then derides businesses that disagree with his stilted views. Been a loyal listener for years, but there are plenty of shows to listen to where the host isn’t celebrating the rot that is destroying the fabric of our nation. Better to be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

I tried listening in the early days of this show and I actually made it through most of the first year. The fact of the matter is that Eric Bischoff is an insufferable megalomaniac much like the political figures he supports. Nuff said.

What happened to the older shows? I liked going back and listening.

Just can’t listen. His voice is hard to hear, he speaks as if everyone is in the know, the way he goes off on tangents just drains me and the worst is the spin and mental gymnastics he expects you to jump through to get his point is ridiculous. Sorry Eric I tried and I just can’t.

Solid pod. Conrad seems like a genuine dude who is about his business. Eric always gives informed opinions and acknowledges his bias. A great listen for those who want to dip into the true business of the business, while still having fun and talking about ‘rasslin. Do more ‘00s WWE talk!

I’ve been listening for 4 years and have LOVED the show, but I listen for nostalgia - Not top 5 lists and 2/3 of the show talking about current stuff

I love the show, but the newer style the show is doing is not one I enjoy. If I constantly wanted to watch top 5 lists, I’d just subscribe to what culture wrestling. Last podcast also had an ICE recruitment ad, which made me extremely angry. When ICE is doing what they are doing now, why are we recruiting on a podcast that celebrates lucha libre?

Great show, Eric's audio is subpar most of the time. Professionals listen back to make sure the audio sounds good to the listener. Just constructive criticism that you might like to know.

Life long pro wrestling fan. Passionate about the product. Thank you Eric for your constant honesty. Love listening to Eric’s insights and experiences.

Eric needs to fix the echoes on his mic set up. Conrad comes in crisp and Eric sounds like he’s talking through the bottom of a toilet. The inconsistency of quality has lead to the consistency of me not listening.

Eric just seems to be consistently negative about a lot of things to the point where I stopped listening mid podcast and then it became too consistent with said negativity.

Horselips Eric

Love the show but Eric needs to figure out how to stop mouth whistling

used to love this show but Conrad ruins it. Half of the show is ads, most of the rest is Conrad sucking off tony kahn. If the topic is Nitro 97 thats what i want to hear about not aew, If i want to hear about aew I will listen to an aew podcast. Eric is correct, tony is not the guy, just a no talent money mark like conrad.

Absolutely love this podcast. Look forward to it every week.

So first off as per your recommendation I watched 3000 miles to Graceland just love it!! It is really a good hidden Gem, question I have a panting for hulk hogan my daughter painted it, she battling cancer and never watched wrestling until she started chemo and we watched from the rise of hogan until we caught up, to present day. When hogan turned she cheered and screamed that’s what we deserve we never should have booed Hulk. Anyway I know I can’t have his address but is there a PO Box or something? She is fighting but doesn’t look good and I promised her I would find away for Hulk to get it. She is really good and it’s beautiful. Half Hollywood and half his face 80’s hogan.

I previously used to enjoy this show but the constant negativity is unbearable at this point. I use wrestling as an escape and listening to this show does nothing but create drama and negativity.

Used to listen weekly as I was a huge WCW fan. Had to stop listening because of Eric’s horrible take on AEW. Keep calling for its death. You’re just driving fans away from your own product at this point. Get over it old man

I love this podcast.. been listening for years

Thought I might have done something wrong, but I see other people having the same problem. I love the podcast, but not able to get any new shows since the 1st of September. What's up with that?

For over a week it has been impossible to download episodes

Conrad and Eric are great story tellers love the show and the live shows on YouTube keep up the great work gentlemen

This podcast is boring!!

Nothing but respect for Ron Simmons but he had very little long lasting INFLUENCE in professional wrestling. Nobody talks about his WCW championship run with reverence. Had a great career, made good money, which is most important. You have to be honest AND NOT a sycophant.

It’s a great show and Eric’s perspective is incredibly interesting, but there are two minor issues with this show. The audio quality at times is rough. There are so many times where Eric’s mic drops or lowers at random and it can be difficult to deal with at times. Second and more importantly, Conrad is just not a very likable guy. There is a wildly strong yet underlying arrogance that accompanies him when he speaks that it makes him nearly unlistenable. Eric saves the show bc as a person, he and his perspective are just incredibly interesting but Conrad is a tough listen, every show, without fail.

This is the best wrestling podcast!! Why go anywhere else when you can get it from the man that reshaped pro wrestling!!

I love Eric but cant listen because of Conrad Thompson. Anybody that puts that much stock in what Dave Meltzer says on a weekly basis has no credibility with me. He is a liability to this show. Time to find a new co-host, Eric.

I just listened to this episode and hearing Conrad go over the no ticke no laundry spat made me laugh so hard a started crying lol!!!

I like this show and find it entertaining still but I miss the old “deep dive” on WCW topics.

Hate this show

This was an awesome listen. I really appreciate the pin point accuracy of the facts and context.

Connie’s hitched his wagon to AEW now he’s got a whole pile of problems that even he can’t eat his way out of .

Great podcast.

Use to like the show when it was about nostalgic topics but there is too much uneducated current product discussion when Eric already has a separate show to do that.

I appreciate Eric’s willingness to record consistently. There’s no such thing as a “Rewind” or “Best Of” episode on his two podcasts. Great content and very enlightening!

I am a business of the business fan. Eric provides the best insight of this aspect. Always a great listen.

Did it ever occur to either of you sniveling goofs to acknowledge that all any of us have at this point are allegations relating to Vince? You’re speaking about these issues as if there has been a conviction. Has the married public figure paid millions in hush money to avoid scandal resulting from his penchant to bang around? Sure. Why is it so implausible to you that other girls might attempt to capitalize on that precedent!? Until there is a criminal conviction, it’s about money.

On a weekly basis Eric kills it. The experiences he has had and the fact he is an open book makes him the best. He really has lived the dream in his professional life, personal life, and now his podcast life! Cheers to both podcasts!

I love the interviews every show , Also i love the old stories they bring up , Love to catch up on the older wrestlers i grew up when i was younger keep up the great work.

You just fill the episodes full of ads to try and make everyone support the Patreon. I’ve been a listener since day 1, but find myself tuning in less and less because of how many ads there are.

You would think for all the podcasts that Conrad does he would clean up his audio. The audio the last few shows have been brutal.

This show would be so great if it didn’t have constant commercials every few minutes. The commercials are usually longer than the actual talking in between. I think most of us don’t listen to the commercials and fast forward through them, to be honest. There’s got to be a better way to fit your commercials in and make your money and not frustrate your audience. It’s to the point where I am about to give up on listening to the shows. Maybe settle down with all the commercials. Great show otherwise.

On this weeks episode of strictly business, hear Eric complain more about AEW! and even throw out a conspiracy that tony khan must’ve bought all the tickets to ALL IN and thats why the numbers were so high! Tune in next week to hear more about why Eric hates AEW because he couldn’t get hired there, as well as more sucking wwe’s flacid weenis because they still cut checks to this irrelevant bottom feeding human who is no longer relevant in the business.

Eric is giving a well thought out opinion. Conrad “I think you’re being argumentative..” Dude. Give it a rest. Worst running bit in podcasts.

Love the show and the great insight it provides, but wow, the ads make it unbearable. It’s too the point where it’s an advertisement, with some wrestling content sprinkled in.

Way to many ads. I feel 1/3 of the show is ads. Really enjoy Eric’s insight, especially since been rewatching WCW Nitro/PPV’s.

The show is an awesome insight into WCW, but I cannot stomach Conrad. We get it. You have money and bought your way into all of this. He constantly reminds his audience that he has “connections”, and he’s been inside the wrestling business his entire life. He comes across as “I have money that bought me everything. Don’t you wish you were me?”

The first wrestling podcast I ever listened to. Eric’s perspective is so useful and at times entertaining. But as Thomason’s podcast footprint expands, the ads are just awful. I’ll skip 17 to 20 minutes of the ad content now. I get they need to pay the bills, but c’mon.
