He definitely still has that Smokey Mountain territory mindset. He hated the WWE. But he and Pritchard are boys.

Not surprised he is with NWA. Wish it was like the ole days.

83 Weeks only did one WWE-centric episode since dude got hired and it was recalling the Invasion PPV. He wasn’t holding back because he worked for WWE. He’s just a terrible storyteller who would talk nonsensically for 17 minutes if you asked him what type of muffin he ate this morning.

AEW fan boys are ridiculous. They in no way have more talent than the WWE.

True. It still felt like the episodes were mailed in though because of his WWE work load.

No Sting should have been tan throw downs with him and Conrad.

What’s the over/under on the number of times he pulls the Brother Love shite out of the attic again?

It wasn’t particularly good in 1989 and has aged even worse.

What? He got the second biggest pop of the night (behind only Austin) on Raw 25.

Hogan gets huge pops whenever he shows up, from 2000 on, and it quickly turns into mediocrity.

But getting that big initial pop always convinced some dumbass to give him a huge push and possibly a belt.

I think he's gotten more popular because of the podcast. He wasn't a big deal before that.

WWE has more talent that they can't get on TV than AEW has signed.

Think about this. WWE has 40 guys who could be credible world champions. Does AEW have 10?

Bruce if i recall correctly, doesn't value woman wrestling. I could be wrong.

If all the women go to Raw, that could be a reason.

You are correct. AEW does NOT have more talent than WWE.... but their 2 hour TV show is so much better than both Raw and Smackdown.

WWE may be making a lot of money, but their shows are getting less appealing as each week goes by.

Everything seems thrown together and really lacks any kind of fire or emotion....

amen. Maybe we can finally get a good angle with corny and Russo. Or maybe corny can just murder him on live tv.

Classy response from Eric. Gotta be awkward for Bruce to be taking over for him. Hopefully we get the real story of what happened on 83 Weeks.

I think this was Eric’s last run in the business. Back to the live show/podcast circuit for him. Hopefully he still has that stock money he dashed out from the merger.
