If the Turner/Time Warner execs hadn't put limitations on the WCW product in '98 I truly believe WCW would have had a fighting chance at winning the Monday Night War.
It would have never happened, but I kind of wish WWF and WCW would have collaborated on a storyline like that. Imagine DX invading Nitro, then later the NWO invading Raw. If that happened at that time the fans would have gone crazy.
If McMahon accepted EB's challenge, it could have changed everything. Have a match on WCW, a return on WWF, and a blow off at a WWF vs WCW PPV. Wrestling could still be thriving today
Man, I really wish they both could have survived. Too many issues inside WCW though. It would have been amazing to see a WWF/WCW collab. I can just imagine the type of stuff they'd both be doing nowadays compared to the crap we do get.
Would have been great but the guys on top (McMahon and Turner) legit hated each other and probably wouldn't have seen the money in that PPV at a time like that
actually... in virginia during the summertime, it doesn't get dark til a little after 9 pm. it could have very well been daylight and between 8 and 9 pm during the invasion and eric cutting a promo. it was a long time ago, so hard to say lol
To all You Conrad haters, say what you will, but he's single handedly made old school Wrestling interesting again....and this is from a fan since 1983....
Joseph Martinez I myself don't know, but probably involves all the ingredients of being a troll...a touch of insecurity....and a touch of being a jealous Mark..I myself am a fan of all his podcasts.
Bischoff had so much talent in the midcard that could/should have been developed into stars but he stuck with Hogan and the old heads for way too long. SMFH

These guys have some serious heat and it shows in this episode. You can tell Bishop is trying his best to no sell things but he cracked a couple times.
was still pre taped though - otherwise how are they talking to fans lining up outside if Nitro is already half way through the live show at this point of the broadcast? ...it's also a very clearly edited segment lol - as it literally cuts to them going from standing outside the arena to driving in the jeep.
I'm glad Eric gave Xpac his stripes,when I was a kid I thought syxx going back too the wwf as Xpac and joining dx was the coolest shit in the world ,I think the road Dogg and x pac low key saved the DX brand in my eyes ,when it came down too all of them being in the ring as a stable,to me ,the draw was watching road Dogg n x pac
Competition is great between.... everything and everyone. It drives one to improve. Sports, business, you name it. So yes, WCW turning the screws on Vince without a doubt made WWE a better product. It's why they're the shits now. No competition.
That is why I wish WCW was still around, even when they hit rock bottom in 2001. I was hoping they would bounce back, but we all know what happened after that.
@@stephenblanding4197 i listen to this shit at the gym, so picture someone in a gym dropping weights laughing really fucking hard because of this shit. God I love this podcast more than something else to wrestle with
40:09 the most entertaining shit I’ve heard great job guys. I agree with Eric , Dave meltzer is a joke. Im almost certain that Meltzer got damn near all of his WCW information from Vince Russo cause not a bit of it makes any sense.
I actually agree with Meltzer. When I saw DX outside of Nitro I thought they looked kind of desperate. Minor league WWF trying to get attention from the top dog WCW. That was my perception at the time as a viewer. Eric is right that letting Syxx go was bad as it put a very important nWo member in the WWF mix giving WWF new energy and credibility.
As a viewer and fan I thought it was cool as shit seeing DX outside of Nitro it didn't look desperate at all. As a 12 year old the WWD jusy seemed cooler back then.
I was just a few years out of the army when this happened. I said the same thing then that I'm saying now: WWE could have done this SO much better. It looked cheap and for lack of a better term, Russo-ish.
Noel ComiX agreed, hhh might now have booked himself and married himself into the top of the bill but he’s only ever been a middle tier player, the invasion was laughable and definitely hhh trying to impress vince
Clearly you do not understand the core dynamic of D-Generation X. DX trolled EVERYBODY. Why in the world would you let something like that pass by without taking advantage of it? The only "desperation" I see here is trying to see more in this than it just being a simple troll-job.
+Noel ComiX Which is why Meltzer is a tool. How did it make them look desperate? "Minor league" What are you saying? The WWF was already winning when they did that. WCW wasn't on top anymore. You want desperate, Bischoff giving away the WWF's finishes for ratings and challenging Vince McMahon looked desperate. DX never took themselves seriously or as seriously as Bischoff took himself in WCW. WCW acknowledged WWF more times on their show during this time than the WWF did. The last time WWF acknowledged WCW openly on T.V. as much was during the Hukster vs. The Nachoman skits. That was desperate. This was a slap in the face to WCW as their fans turned on them on live T.V. when DX showed up. Don't use Meltzer's narrative as if it was your's. No one thought this made WWF look desperate.
Cornette can remember what color shoe laces he wore, March 12th 1986 and then tell you the gate.....I know Bischoff is a chronic alcoholic, but his inability to recollect is unbelievable.
I wish that the WWE and Vince McMahon would stop pretending that the reason why McMahon did not show up to fight Eric is because Stephanie graduated college. Admit that he didn't show up because he didn't want WCW to get the intention and the replay buys.
lol... but holyfield didnt have quite the same popularity with that particular demographic and the mainstream audience. He had rodman though who had the same popularity with the young audience
Lol, The only problem is that Holyfield doesn't have nearly the personality of Mike. Holyfield is a pretty respectable guy from all the interviews I've seen. But yeah, maybe they could have tried to do smth like that.
I loved the DX invasion! I was so hoping you guys would've let them in! But I guess in hindsight I guess there wasn't much they could've done if they did get in lol, great episode guys!
To all the people thinking Eric is saying he doesn't remember because he's lying, Id love to see a link of an interview with Vince remembering every single part of the Monday Night Wars......that would be nice.
Bischoff should get into how much bigger Time Warner was and is then WWE in terms of company size. I don't think that is something that a lot of people understand.
Conrad just cant fathom that eric would lie on a prodigy chat in 1997 to butter up bret hart and dave metlzer when he was considering doing business with them.
He kind of outs himself as a BS'er when he claims he was in the ring live on Nitro cutting a promo when they tried to tell him DX was outside the building. When in fact that was recorded much earlier in the day.
I never tire of Eric not answering the fucking question. And taking the damn long way around to get to somewhere else. Hell most the time I’ve forgotten what the question was in the first place.
I remember thinking back then that WrestleMania 14 was going to be a joke. It was anything but. I was still so high on WCW at that point, I thought WWF wouldn't be beating them anytime soon.
This was a great episode. It felt like around Wrestlemania 14, you could tell Vince was desperate to kick Eric's ass. Especially getting Mike Tyson involved and putting him with DX. While I thought DX invading WCW was great. That kicked off some pissing content back and forth between both companies' lawyers. Im pretty sure if Vince didnt have those people in his ear telling him not to go to Slamboree, he would have went. All the kiss ass were probably scared that Vince was going to lose to Eric. Also how convinent Stephanie's graduation was the same weekend. Easy out. Vince couldnt admit he was scared of Eric.
Yes, Vince McMahon Was Scared. There's Something Else, Slamboree Was On A Sunday & Graduations Were/Are On Saturdays/Fridays. Vince McMahon & The WWE Aren't Fooling Anybody.
Oh yeah, how would it be a curtain on call #2? This was established in the 1st one, so what would it matter if they did this in WCW? The only thing that changes is the company. Other than that, we already knew they are friends just based on the 1st one
Sunset that day was 7:50 pm. Nitro that night was one hour on TNT with the second hour airing the next night due to the NBA playoffs. DX was probably going around before the show. Probably around 5 pm or so. At the Scope, the fans have to park on the same floor as the wrestlers and there's only one entrance to the garage.
While I appreciate Eric admitting certain things, etc. he does show lots of the most common gigantic red flags of deception that someone with a background in psychology could pick up on. To be fair, every one of them do. Prichard, Bishoff, Cornette. All of them. lol. I would call the vast majority of this partial truths, or misleading due to how long ago it was. He is being honest for certain things as well.
I gotta be honest. I hated the hell out of WCW back then. But damn do I wish they were still alive. WWE needs competition. The kind that WCW was willing to give. The issue with them is their stupidy with money. Of course, when you have that much money at your disposal, you think you can just drown the other guy with it. But, the fans don't care if you're destroying a $10,000 car or a $60,000 car. They could've blurred the lines a bit more with some things like that. They also just went way, way too far with salaries to steal WWE made guys instead of creating more of their own. Like Sting. WWE needed to keep the competition and not to go public. Not to mention the biggest mistake of all, creative control with Hogan and so many others.

It's Fucking Fantastic
Fucking comedy gold...need more pissed off Eric on the show.
Wooooooooo!
Dude every episode is amazing lol
I was curious how he got access to all these guys for his podcast, but either way love the show but I guess it pays to know to people
If the Turner/Time Warner execs hadn't put limitations on the WCW product in '98 I truly believe WCW would have had a fighting chance at winning the Monday Night War.
I want to live in the timeline where Vince DID show up for the fight
"Someone suggested it to me, it wasn't my idea" - The Eric Bischoff story.
Man that would've been nuts seeing all of DX in the middle of a Nitro ring.
It would have never happened, but I kind of wish WWF and WCW would have collaborated on a storyline like that. Imagine DX invading Nitro, then later the NWO invading Raw. If that happened at that time the fans would have gone crazy.
"How do I know if its daytime when I am inside of a building."
Eric reached immortal-hood with that comment.
A watch?
Wall clock, maybe
If McMahon accepted EB's challenge, it could have changed everything. Have a match on WCW, a return on WWF, and a blow off at a WWF vs WCW PPV. Wrestling could still be thriving today

Psh Old School wrestling was never NOT interesting and on top of that we have Cornette to thank, not Conrad.

Vince vs Eric, we should have got that at least once while he was in WWE. But, oh well.
They had a fight on Feb 23 2004, type "vince vs Eric 2004" on TH-cam. Stone Cold was a guest referee
thats not a tank. its a jeep with a 2" metal tube on it
The best part of the invasion was road dog yelling let my brother go. Love that shit
That laugh at 1:05:45 suggests Eric wins the fight between him and McMahon. That's a laugh from someone who knows the outcome.
I wish that the WWE and Vince McMahon would stop pretending that the reason why McMahon did not show up to fight Eric is because Stephanie graduated college. Admit that he didn't show up because he didn't want WCW to get the intention and the replay buys.

Also Cowardly.
Eric should have tried to get Holyfield when they got Tyson.

This is such a great show, Conrad. You gotta get Russo. Only guy who was on both sides. And you're the only guy who can cut his bullshit.
I never tire of Eric not answering the fucking question. And taking the damn long way around to get to somewhere else. Hell most the time I’ve forgotten what the question was in the first place.

I gotta be honest. I hated the hell out of WCW back then. But damn do I wish they were still alive. WWE needs competition. The kind that WCW was willing to give. The issue with them is their stupidy with money. Of course, when you have that much money at your disposal, you think you can just drown the other guy with it. But, the fans don't care if you're destroying a $10,000 car or a $60,000 car. They could've blurred the lines a bit more with some things like that. They also just went way, way too far with salaries to steal WWE made guys instead of creating more of their own. Like Sting. WWE needed to keep the competition and not to go public. Not to mention the biggest mistake of all, creative control with Hogan and so many others.
this is the 5th one of these I have listened to, Eric seems a bit economical with the truth and needs to lighten up .
A jeep with a recoilless rifle
There needs to be a "look at you" shirt. On one of the 3 websites
Conrad it’s light out at 8pm during that time of year so he may be telling the truth.
That would have been awesome if Vince showed up at Slamboree.
