This is the same guy that said Rhea Ripley should "drop the goth stuff"....🤡
Guess he'd want to turn her back blonde too
I'M NOT LYING BRO!
Bischoff never explains what Russo lies about. Bischoff's Bash at the Beach story has holes all in it
@@XtremeEffect You’re a mook😒
@@XtremeEffect facts this is the rare time russo doesnt look bad!!!!! n saying that russo believes his shit what a way to cover his ass that way if vince did pass he already has his excuse!!
@@bassclay100 exactly. Russo says all the time he'd talk to Eric anytime. Eric would get exposed so he just uses the ole "Russo is delusional" excuse
@@bassclay100hey Vince 👋 lying ass
Broke the tie? I thought Hogan had creative control.
He didn't execute it formally, but that's the reason Siegel agreed to go with Eric and Hulk's plan cuz he knew Hogan could force it if he wanted to
In the end what does it matter what either one of you want to do when Hulk has creative control. Russo can’t make Hulk do anything he doesn’t want too. He has final say in his storyline
Unfortunately that ended up being one of their downfalls.
Hulk didn't even want to join nwo. Just by that it sounds like he shouldn't have had any creative control.
I have listened to Hogan, Jarrett, Russo, Booker, Eric, and others discuss this situation for years. No two accounts are the same, but from what I can discern, it is clear to me that everyone but Hogan and Eric were on board with Russo's plan. I think they just placated Eric and Hogan long enough to get to where they wanted to go, and work around Hogan's creative control clause. The fact that there were no repercussions on Russo for doing this clearly indicates that the VIPs were on board with what Russo was doing. As much as I personally can't stand Russo, I don't think he went into business for himself. I think everyone but Hogan and Eric knew what he was going to do. If they didn't, they wouldn't have kept Russo after an incident like that.
Brad Segal didn't want to fire Vince Russo because he had signed him to a contract and for Segal to fire Russo very early it would have looked even worst on him😂
@@louio they could have sent Russo home like they did 3 months into his first run.
Eric has been clear about the fact that they agreed on everything up to the part where Hogan and Eric were supposed to leave the building. However, Russo clearly took the opportunity to implement his own version of the plan, because Sharmell, Konnan, and Lance Storm all said that everything that everything Russo said in the ring wasn't mentioned on their programs. Work shoots are supposed to be mentioned in the talent's programs.
Didn't Eric say that the promo was planned as well.
It was only an issue because Russo took it too far (in their opinion) and didn't call Hogan afterwards as he was supposed to do.
As we now know, he was instructed not to call Hogan back since Siegel told him they could no longer afford him
Russo has said he'll debate Eric on this matter and Eric keeps ducking. It shows who is telling the truth. Russo's story has always remained the same whilst Eric's version is different on every shoot interview he's done on the matter. So Eric is now trying to say that Russo went against Brad Siegel and nothing happened? Russo would have also breeched Hogan's contract; which did go to court and was thrown out not once.. but twice. C'mon Eric, give it up.
100% agree with this comment
After watching loads of Erics podcasts and Vinces i have to say both obviously have things about them that look like they are both lying about certain subjects but Eric comes off as way more genuine and doesnt hide who he is ! Your podcasts especially the ones on your own are very engaging
Eric Bischoff: Russo went into business for himself at Bash at the Beach
Also Eric Bischoff: I’m not sure what happened with the fast count at Starrcade. What I do know is that Sting didn’t have a tan
Eric acknowledged this in the "Who Killed WCW?" video. He admitted he did that, and he okay'ed it, and he said in hindsight it was not a good idea
Sting himself said the he was in a bad place and Eric did not want to betray Sting with what was actually happening and the only answer he could give was that Sting was not taking care of himself to the point where he was not even tan which is not normal for Sting. In later videos, Eric said that since Sting disclosed some of what he was doing that he felt a tiny bit more comfortable in saying that Sting was in a messed up place and they were hoping to hide it with that botched ending.
Be better and know the full story before just repeating the same nonsense crap like an imbecile.
No tan..no smile...doesn't work for me brother...not today
When you combine all accounts: The reason for the discrepancies: The finish was changed from the original plan of Sting winning clean; the change was decided a few hours prior to the PPV, in where Hogan was set to win (Hence, Eric telling Nick that it would be a regular count), Hogan reiterated this to Nick when they spoke (slow count just meant regular/decisive; 3 actual seconds), but ultimately it was changed to be a fast count, which involved capitalizing on the Bret Hart Screwjob, angle...
The last thing Nick was told about his involvement in the actual finish was by Sting, informing him that it now involved a fast count (rapid fire baby)...
Everyone else that were in need of knowing the new finish were also informed of the change (Nick says he was busy handling other matches throughout the night... Hence, Sting's relay...)
Nick says prior to the match, that he could not find Eric to confirm the change, so he went with an in between count: fast and regular, "so no one gets what they want"...
For Nick to say that he could not find Eric to confirm the change, when Eric's match was the one that preceded the mainevent suggests this claim to obviously be of embellishment...
Before the match, as seen in the PPV; before Sting's entrance: Hogan and Nick have a conversation (as you can find and see for yourself, if you have means of watching the HQ version):
(Nick asks the first part, off screen)
Hogan: "Help me do what?"
Nick: "Help you setup the false finish"
Hogan: "Mm..ahhh, give me about 14 minutes..."
Nick: "Alright." (As he is turning and heading towards the camera, to ring side; to relay this information; so Hart can be informed...)
(Hogan continues taunting around the ring...)
(The announcers knew; the wrestlers knew; Bischoff knew; production knew and Nick knew (but He claims he questioned whether it was correct: So, he did an in between, whilst also stating it was much faster than the pin counts you find in the WWF...)
Bret Hart has explained that he confronted the ref, backstage: "What happened, It was supposed to be a fast count", and Nick said: "Oh, I forgot..."
(Nick even expected to be fired; He knew he should have performed a more convincing; faster count; he also actually believes the count he performed was indeed fast...)
On top of all this: Hollywood Hogan (the hottest heel in wrestling at the then peak of WCW and nWo popularity) intentionally making himself the babyface of the match, is one of the dumbest things one could actually believe took place on that night (it would benefit no one)...
Also, consider: the inclusion of Bret Hart into the finish, as a result of the trepidations into how well Sting might perform in the match and as champion; less than as effectively, as focused and as believable as they were expecting, (ultimately, opting to still give the audience and the fans what they wanted, and came there to see), is in fact a testament to the trust they obviously had in Bret Hart, to help deliver (as they seen it) a more affective, impactful, meaningful and believable finish... Whilst also creating an angle that could best utilize Bret Hart as much as legally possible (with a broken hand, during his non-compete clause period) whereby (off the heels of the Montreal Screwjob; the month prior) capitalizing on the still trending, hottest wresting controversy at the time, with Bret set to prevent another Screwjob of its own, from being carried out by the nWo; during the most anticipated wrestling match of the time, on the then highest rated wrestling program, in the world... (And All Nick Patrick had to do was perform the fast count, which everyone involved knew was supposed to occur and they were all expecting to see...)
Well if him bitching about Russo believing his own lies ain't the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is
There's a difference between a perspective and straight lies. Russo is guilty of manufacturing a reality that did not exist in WWF and WCW. Bischoff has a perspective of what happened that no one else can since no one else held his position and did not have the insight into the workings of things that he did. Russo was simply a writer that got too big for his role, Bischoff was the leader of a company that nearly brought down Vince McMahon, which we now know can only be done by Vinces own penis and nothing else.
Eric B is your go-to pot for all things culinary and Russo is the kettle your grandmother gave you in the attic.
Given how successful he was compared to Russo, there really isn’t a comparison between the two. If Bishoff is a liar, Russo is living in another reality.
Eric, Russo and Prichard are all pathological! I love these podcasts, but they all lie and fabricate whatever they want to in order to entertain and put themselves over!!
At least for bischoff he comes across as intelligent to an extent. All Russo does his blame everyone else and say bro. Not going to say Russo never had any good ideas or this or that but bischoff I think had more success overall throughout his entire career
Eric is what russo wished he could be. Without vince mcmahon, pat Patterson, and the whole wwe machine behind him russo never got anyone over. In 2002 russo came back for like 2 weeks before being fired because his ideas suck.
If Eric isn’t man enough to have a conversation with Russo then he shouldn’t talk about him at all.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Who would want to have a conversation with Russo?
How would you explain cornette who can't stand russo either?
@@Incurious_ he is actually a really good guy people may not like his booking but most people say he is a good person
Eric doesn't even remember what happened at Bash at the Beach. What was the main event gonna be? David Penzer already exposed Eric's story as being bullshit. Booker was getting the belt
Oh shut up ya mook😒
But at the same time panzer also said that he didn’t like Russo booking because it was low rent , didn’t make sense
Vince has corroborated Eric's story. The unplanned circumstances were the shoot promo that Terry thought was a step too far, and believed that Vince had slandered his Character... Vince says the reason he did the shoot, was: for what transpired with Hogan and Jarret to make sense, and that he may have gone too far (He also said he was told not to call Hogan, (even though he told him he would), as WCW could no longer afford Hogan; Vince takes responsibility in not calling Hulk, when he should have, to explain the situation)... So, I'm not sure of how Booker T getting the belt, that night, was argued as not being a part of the (albeit, new) plan? Has Eric said that it wasn't?
@@cryptocon. His recent retelling of the story was that Hulk was supposed to come back at Halloween Havoc with the belt. He acts like he didn't know anything about Booker T. He said last week that the promo was just Russo going into business for himself and doing what HE wanted to do and that wasn't the plan and he got the company sued. Penzer told Eric that Booker was told to bring a suit to Nitro because it was planned in advance that Booker was leaving that show with the title. Eric, backed into a corner, told Penzer that he believes Russo hurried and got with Brad Siegel after they left the building and came up with everything else that happened. But he made it clear that what Russo did wasn't what Hulk wanted to do. Still never gets asked what was gonna fill the rest of the PPV time. Where Eric is full of shit is, back in 2018 when 83 Weeks covered this topic, Eric couldn't remember hardly anything from this event or most events from WCW's history and Conrad was always making fun of him for saying he didn't remember
How would penzer know?
vince russo turned mike awesome into that 70s guy, i just cant get over it
Didn't he also get his buddy Ed Ferrara to pretend to exaggerate the disabilities of Jim Ross and get his friend Dr Death to join in ! Shows you all what you need to know commence the "It's a work BROOO!!!"
He was also the Fat Chick Thriller before that, right?
To be fair, awesome had the charisma of a malignant tumor
@@sobbyhasselhoff his mic skills were decent in ECW.
@@sobbyhasselhoff to be fair neither of fat chick thriller and 70s guy didn't help. If anything it brought it way down
How about debating Vince Russo and clear the air? Vinny Ru is willing to do it, are you?
it will be huge for the views even if they go at it .
Get Cornette to moderate the debate.
Eric doesn't want to get called on his BS. And Conman would rather talk about people behind their back then have them on the show. Russo has offered numerous times. These guys are afraid to debate him. Just like Cornette.
@@mandolinman2006 Cornette is terrified of Russo tho.
Russo would just continue lying like he usually does. There is no "clearing the air" with Russo. What are the chances that a debate on podcast is going to compel Russo to tell the truth when sitting in front of a TV audience didn't do it?
To be fair you believe your own bullshit too
100%
When I unfortunately had to work with Vince Russo, he wanted us to fake arguments, and thought that our audience believed wrestling was real.
Damn fightful joining the party
WRES-UH-LING!
Why won’t you debate him? You’re scared he will expose you ?
You can tell that's the case because of how angry Eric gets on the matter.
This
Russo challenged you to a debate/face off.
Would love to see them two do a podcast talking about all the old stuff. And probably arguing.
And he challenged Cornette. These guys are all scared of Russo proving them wrong.
It's like Biden challenging someone to a debate. You know they're just going to lie, so what's the point in being roped in by it if you don't have anything to gain from it? I wouldn't waste my precious time debating Russo either. He's a pathological liar who can never keep his stories straight. The man said he was more over than 80% of WCW's roster, like ppl wanted to see him on their TV. You can't reason with someone like him.
If Russo a liar, then Eric do the lie detector test.
So Eric won't sit down with Russo because Russo called Hulk Hogan bald on a show nearly 25 years ago.
I'm from a law enforcement family. I'll gladly set up the lie detector test. 😂😂😂
Vince Russo is telling people that AEW and WWE are working together, that Vince McMahon wants to buy AEW with the help of Shane. That guy is out of his mind. He is like a little child.
Shane McMahon enters the chat
Yawnnnn
Reminds of the the time where he actually tried to argue that the Main Event Mafia was better than The Bloodline. It's crazy that ppl actually trusts what he says. He's a lunatic.
Conrad PLEASE…. Don’t get up
You’re a sex worker saver
VR made his name thanks to WWE, EZE made his name vs. WWE. Big Difference
Also how epic would it be to get Eric and russo on together!
With Cornette officiating!
@@GenXerReactsit would never happen in a million years unfortunately but it would be brilliant.
Russo has wanted to do a podcast with both Eric and Jim, nothing came of it
They really should try and work it out and do it. They would get do many views!
If I had run WCW into the ground and then been fired/suspended over it - I wouldn’t be attacked Vince Russo.
Have SOME self awareness. Wasn’t Russo that did the Fingerpoke of Doom, or exhausted the NWO, KISS demon or a thousand other follies.
From what I've seen he does admit that he screwed up those things, plus don't forget eric did lead WCW to beat wwe
And what morons like you never realize is that the Fingerpoke of Doom led to a massive increase in interest and ratings. In the first 3 months of 1999, Nitro had a higher average rating than in the last 6 months of 1998. SuperBrawl went on to become the third biggest selling PPV in WCW History. It's amazing how people still follow Meltzer's (or the clowns from the fictional Death of WCW Book) narrative about it, when the facts are: It worked and it wasn't until late April that the booking from Nash became so bad, that it drove away the audience for good.
At least Russo will admit when he is wrong
Vince Russo Never Admit His Wrongs. Eric Bischoff Always Had. Eric By Far The Most Honest Podcaster. WWE Sucks. Vince Russo Asskissers Why Not. Jump On Jim Corbett’s Back Because Cornette Hates Russo Most.
When has he done that?
Russo blames everything & everyone else for his failures 😂😂😂😂
Russo only regrets Oklahoma in WCW, everything else he stands by.
I don't think any of these people admit their mistakes: Bischoff, Heyman, Prichard, Russo, Cornette. Must be the carnie mindset lol
I love to see a Live Debate with Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo Eric would crush him but I can definitely say Alot of Cursing which would be crazy funny
Yea right
I like both Russo and Bischoff, enjoy both their podcast, both their views on wrestling, I get why they don’t trust each other, I think it would be nice if they could have some sort of, idk, mutual respect for each other, that maybe asking too much though lol
Eric Bischoff: “Russo is delusional and a liar.”
Also Eric Bischoff: “Hulk Hogan (the guy who slammed Andre when he was 800 pounds a day before he died) is one of my best friends”
Yeah but to be fair, you'd think from what we know about Andre he probably told hulk to do that.
Vince Russo tried to add something different to a dying business. Like running Hulk Hogan and his creative control out of WCW, and having Booker T becoming the 2nd Black African-American WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
And look at how he handled that. Like a five year old not getting his way.
Viagra on a pole match
And Booker T made a good point. Russo could have just folded to Hogan's demands and gave Hogan the belt. But Russo did what he had to for Booker to have his moment.
@@kevinlee9929 wherever you work I’m not going 😂
@@Evilash1303 I could careless. No one wanted another Hogan title reign, but you Bischoff and Hogan. Glad Booker got his moment.
Eric saved wrestling, if you don’t believe me look at the what the Wwf was presenting to us, wrestling would have died if eric didn’t make wcw presentable, wwf had a guy that looked like a baseball ,a garbage man a clown , a skater a stalker wrestling would be dead
It was the NWO gimmick that saved wrestling (well introduced us to the best era of it) and it was Eric that was the one trying to get hogan to turn heel and join it to be fair.
Whatever you say bro
Just stop with this WCW BS, it's gone, dead and never coming back. You can blame Russo,Eric,Hogan,Turner all you want. Talk about today's product and crap on that or appreciate the good stuff. Jeez. Another stupid conversation to this very day is the Montreal Screwjob, just let it go.
Imagine if russo, cornette, and russo did a podcast 😳
Bischoff watching King of the Ring, this should be interesting. I swear, Bischoff still entertaining even during his retirement days. I enjoy the podcasts very much.
Conrad, STOP ROCKING BACK AND FORTH!!
Cant u see? He's fucking his audience
if Russo went behind tie breakers back (Siegel) how come he was not sent home after Bash at the Beach due to going to a business for himself refusing to do what tie breaker wanted?
Hulk Hogan had a creative control so the tie breaker just does not make any sense because it already goes on to break Hogan's contract.
Here’s my thing… I am a big fan of both Eric and Russo. But… Why on earth would Brad agree to do something that would bring Hogan back in a couple months, when he said within 24 hours of this decision that Turner could no longer afford to put Hogan on television? 🤔
So sad they didn't use bret hart properly for his debut. Could have had such a massive pop and impact if done differently I think. Especially coming off the back of Montreal. Screw job could have been a good story foundation
Bret just lost passion after the screwjob. His heart just wasn't in it anymore. He was fuming with wwf on the inside. You can't blame WCW on this.
@@mrnicemam8523 not sure if he was though. Every interview you see with bret he basically says he was desperate to make wcw better than wwe and screw vince. He also said no one listened to anything and most of the ideas were terrible. Kind of agree with him after what they did with his debut.
@mrnicemam8523 that has nothing to do with the way WCW debuted him.
@@DLFLux yeah this is what I was thinking. The way they debuted him was awful. Such a waste of what could have been an epic moment.
@@paul2k2b21 How would you have debuted him? He was a part of the main event with sting and hogan. Granted the finish was botched but he was involved in the biggest match of the century. Don't know what else could have been done?
"Bro-wuh."
-V.R
After the NWO storyline & Goldberg phenomenon inevitably cooled off, what idea did Bischoff have that drew $?
Vince Russo killed wcw when he had billy Kidman beating hulk hogan. That was so corny and unbelievable
And Eric Bischoff killed WCW by bending over backwards for Hulk Hogan.
Think they both made errors.
Not sure Eric could even stop hogan, apparently he had creative control in his contract.
WCW was done before Russo ever showed up
how come 25 year old young guy beating 47 year old is unbelievable?
The term is I couldn’t care less. What you are saying doesn’t make any sense.
I mean you’re correct but are you not able to understand what he meant, grammar guy?
Okay, got to give for the peacock word play
Problem with Eric's response:
Why did ERIC need to leave the building?
The only logical is that Russo suggested he do it, because it wouldn't make kayfabe sense for the owner/booker to be there while Russo was out cutting a promo. Russo would only have cut a promo (kayfabe) if nobody was there to stop him.
What LIKELY happened, is that Hogan didn't like WHAT Russo said, and convinced Eric to go against the whole gimmick after the fact.
But Eric leaving is the main clue that Russo is at least telling part of the truth.
Cornette said Vince did something similar to him. I believe Eric.
If anyone has heard Russo lie more than Biscoff I would eat a turnbuckle.
Russo speaks way more truth than most of the top dogs in the industry.
Biscoff is doing what narcissists do to gaslight Vince and triangulate others against [large amounts of people] who pose a threat to their own credibility or superiority.
This so called reason he says is no reason to blast him to everyone 25 years later because the two biggest crybabies in wrestling didnt get what they want one night of the year. If Russo went into business for himself and Biscoff and Hogan never did is proposterous. He is bent over what he himself and his business parter only ever do and he is the only one to challenge Biscoff and Hogan so he had to be 'made inferior'.
WOW...
Telling Russo to put a gun in his mouth is FUCKING NUTS and I just lost any respect I had for Eric.
No one feels this strongly over one booking decision and has the right or responsibility to suggest suicide because they 'just dont trust him'
Why? What might he do? This makes no sense. Russo doesnt even talk shit about Eric or Hogan so I aint buying why Conrad aint pressing harder here.
Eric with the Stutter, word soup, living anger, lack of empathy, justification, zero accountabliity, playing the vivtim, wishing harm, no regret involving others, questioning morals of others...NEED I LIST MORE??
He is not telling the whole story, unless of course it's NPD and that IS the whole story.
If anyone buys this garbage, I have a Duke Drosey autographed rookie pog on ebay.
At least come up with your own reason to dislike someone based on actual first hand knowledge, cuz having listenend to both accounts more than I ever waned to need to, but this is one of the DUMBEST excuses I have ever heard and I have heard some of Russo's thoughts and they may be far out or wildly overdramatic but never cold or harmful or hateful. People who threaten the integrity of the business are actually the ones who attack those who threaten to expose the integrity of the people doing the business. To say Russo is more about going into business for himself than Eric or Hogan or their legal team makes Eric look pretty pety if he thinks Russo is beneath him.
They are both business men, just different ends of the shame schtick.
Are you bret hart in disguise 😂
@@paul2k2b21 Disguise in the back of my mind!
Bret the Broman Hart, reporting for doodie.
Lay off Russo bro
It would axtuallt be quite good to see Eric do some watch a longs on matches from the Monday night wars etc
Bischoff better be careful with the russo violence type deals. Heard he is litigious.
Eric Would Destroy Russo. Bischoff still Can Go With His Karate. Vince Russo Is Real Delusion. Eric Bischoff Admitted Nobody Wanted To See Him Wrestle.
Eric accusing anyone of believing their own lies when his best pal is Hogan. 😂
Vince has challenged you to a debate, Eric. Man up and talk it out to his face instead of behind his back.
6:43
Because that's what Eric did when he was sent home in Sept. 99, I guess!
Everyone else is lying, cause Eric tells me on every podcast.
Hows your afternoon going
I doubt Russo will lose sleep
Correction, "Vince Russo! Believes his own lies! Bro!"
Bottom line, these clowns should invite Russo on the show to debate in person instead of talking about him like women. Much like Cornette, Bischoff is afraid of Russo calling him on his BS
maybe the reason for going to tna was revenge to push russo out of the company.
Okay Eric. You talk like a salesman and we all know how salesmen are. The one person who looked really bad in that doc was Eric with the whole kissing Hogans ass.
Great segment!
Eric's scared to go live with russo
I watched WCW from '96 until it folded. I preferred the more realistic storylines compared to WWF's random bookings. When Russo took over there was a drastic shift in the quality of the shows. Eric knows character building while all Russo knows is "Random Bullshit Go!" And Random shit on a pole matches, bro.
Bischoff was creatively bankrupt after the nWo. He put David Flair in a Nitro main event. Ruined TNA with Aces and Eights
Wcw did the attitude era first. And wwf jumped in the bandwagon.
Remember bischoff saying wwf was aiming at kids so wcw decided to go after adults with more adult content.
@@XtremeEffect the nwo was absolutely stardust when it started. Just seemed like they didn't know where to go with it.
@@XtremeEffect You’re a mook😒
I agree with everything Eric said about Vince. I was a WCW fan, and Russo brought that NY shit to WCW. Long matches and realistic storyline are what we craved. However, Eric, why was Hogan still trying be champion in 2000? That's a huge missed in your perspective. Your problem with Hulk was: you needed a little Vince McMahon in you dealing with Hulk. Had to put your foot down with him with working with younger talent. But Vince Russo was bullshit.
Eric always has an excuse about Russo
I want to see Conrad’s bank account
Eric, you COULDN'T care less. Saying you could care less means you care.
Russo was more talented then 80% of the wcw roster bro!!!! 🤣😂
That's a bad example that's the one time Vince Russo made the right decision 😂lol
In the famous words of the Rock it doesn't matter what Vince Russo thinks LOL. Eric Vince Russo isn't the only one to blame for the demise of WCW and he doesn't really care what anyone else thinks or says of him
Russo and EB are the same person
Living off limited success
Awful booking
Lies
Trashing modern wrestling for clicks
They are both horrible
They're the 2 most successful in the business since 1990. Nobody has achieved higher ratings than those 2 in 30 years.
Let Eric talk
Vince Russo has said many times he would debate Bischoff and Bischoff doesnt have the balls to do it simple as
The hilarious irony is that both Eric and Russo are very similar!!! Despite the personal characteristics they both have huge egos, still milking the wrestling gimmick for a quick buck, desperately trying to stay young and relevant with the ridiculous sleeve tatts, etc... The reason they can't stand each other is because from a personality standpoint they are basically the same person!!!
It's only a lie, if you believe it's a lie - George costanza
Lol I feel the exact same way about him he feels about Russo. He believes his on BS to pees in a pot and they both hate it. Lol
... ... ... Now that we know how you feel about that ...
I believe Eric here because Russo did the exact same thing to Jim Cornette in TNA and that's the main reason Corny hates Russo's guts ..... Whether you like Cornette or not the man is honest and you may not like his opinion or take on a subject but it's his honest opinion. If you look up the definition of brutally honest there is going to be a picture of Jim Cornette
This is why Eric gets a bad reputation amongst the smarter wrestling fans. I don’t think Russo tells the truth all the time but I do think he’s more honest at times than Bischoff is. Why do I say that? Eric is still lying about the Starrcade 97 ending almost 30 years later. And he’s holding a grudge against Russo for Bash At The Beach 2000? I’d say that blame is split between Eric and Hogan too for what happened. What’s the common denominator between Starrcade 97 and BATB 2000? I’ll give you a hint, he wears red and yellow brother! Eric is the ultimate dick rider when it comes to Hulk Hogan and he’s actively lying about those two events out of loyalty to Hulk. The fact is, Hulk Hogan was probably one of the biggest draws WCW ever had but he also was a cancer because he pulled “that doesn’t work for me, brother” with his creative control far too much. Hogan didn’t want to lose to Sting at Starrcade so he told Nick Patrick to count nice and slow at the end. Nick Patrick has said that in numerous interviews. At BATB 2000, the Hulkster tried to pull the same BS again only Russo wouldn’t allow it. No matter whether you loved or hated Jeff Jarrett, he was a new top star which WCW desperately needed new talents in the main events. But Hogan thought he should beat Jarrett so he and Bischoff decided to do what they did with Brad Siegel. Hulk also knew Russo wanted Booker T to win the WCW championship ultimately on that show but he wanted to squash that too. Now, even if you agree Hulk should’ve beaten Jarrett, there’s no way he deserved to beat Booker T or actually totally replace him altogether. Booker T being WCW champion was a big highlight of WCW in those last two years. If Hulk and Eric had their ways, that would never have happened. And the fact that Eric said he didn’t care whether Russo took a polygraph test proves that he was probably lying himself. I don’t hear Bischoff volunteering to take that same lie detector test. That’s because he’d probably have a 20 inch Pinocchio nose and his pants would be on fire if he were asked to elaborate during a polygraph.
Nice shirt conrad. Lol
Ya like Eric doesn't lie lol. I love both of them tho
One created the N.W.O. And the other created viagra on a fucking pole. David Arquette a world champion. And I like David Arquette, made himself world champion. He didn’t make the rock and Austin stars either, they did. The best thing that happened to WWE was him leaving. Just compare WWE 1999 to WWE in 2000.
By that logic Bischoff didn't make Hogan, Hall or Nash stars.
@@kevinlee9929 no he didn’t, without them already being stars the nwo would not have worked in the first place.
He did make them all fresh and more popular though.
@@Evilash1303 And without Russo's influence there is no guarantee that Austin and Rock become what they did. We saw how VKM was booking The Rock before Russo got involved with creative. He was smiling happy babyface Rocky Maivia.
"it's not a lie if you believe it."
How do I watch Eric's podcast without having to deal with friggin Conrad's annoying face and voice?
Pull your peacock out .!!!!!
Lol
vince doesn't *stand on business* & after watching who killed wcw doc it tells me that (what if) both eric x vince both had there own wrestling company eric company would last longer then vince 😂🤣
i trust eric over russo
I have a transcript of the conversation between the three.
Vr bro, bro.
Hh that doesnt work for me brother.
Vr bro
Eb that meltzer guy he really annoys me.
When someone is just such a piece of garbage eventually you are just done with him. Its just BS to Say that Eric not taking Russo up on his offers is proof he's lying.
Flag on the play, Eric. I have to call a foul. You won't do business with someone like Vince Russo whom you call a liar, but you will do business with a man like Hulk Hogan, whose lies have been well-documented on this very platform? Also, let's be clear about something: The wrestling business is about 80% lies, both on-screen and off, Eric. This shouldn't come as a surprise to you or anyone else reading this lol who was promised a "push," but didn't get it, who was promised a world title run, but never got it, blah blah blah. The list goes on. But yes, I do agree with you on one point. Seeing that Brad Siegel dude for the first time ever since this whole story started years ago, I have say, he seems a bit cagey. He's your typical corporate shleb. Lie until you get caught, then blame someone else. I absolutely believe he'd go behind your back and change things without you or Hogan around. I do seem to recall Russo mentioning in one of those shoot interviews that Siegel was the one who told him not to call Hogan or book him for any more shows after this incident because WCW couldn't afford to pay him, anymore.
Eh youre credibility is just as shaky, you both tell good stories tho
Put Russo, Bischoff and cornette up to a lie detector to see who is full of shit
Vince Russo I like you but don't fw Uncle EZE ok og ain't gonna keep telling you or no else that we ride together in the EWO
This is investigative journalism. I commend you. Hook him up to the polygraph!
Why was hogan fighting for the title when his old ass was the reason the ratings went down in 1999.
When he was revealed as the 3rd man, ratings went up.
Yeah when he joined nwo they blew ratings up
Yeah ratings blew up like mad when he joined nwo, probs one of best story lines in wrestling history
the ratings went down because they ran that nwo angle into the ground by having everyone in wcw join it instead of keeping it a small group of people who the wcw heroes had to keep fighting against
@@kerpal321 yeah it got so ridiculous in the end. It completely killed the belief in it. Then they had nwo wolf pack, should have just kept it like the size of 5 people max
No yeat
Maybe Russo lies … I know for sure Conrad lies
Shut up Eric you almost killed tna with hulk hogan
Russo has much attention as a brain-dead patient. He has zero creditability in wrestling.
BRO
Bischoff will always be bitter that Russo was more creative
More creative? How? The finger poke of doom?
Russo didn't book the Fingerpoke you clown
Russo was more creative using Stern and Springer types of creativity. Wrestling wise Bischoff was better. They were apples and oranges
@@callmesomeone I agree. I was WCW til the end and hated WWE. It's frustrating that no one points out that Nitro ratings all through 1999 were higher and some weeks equal to the same ratings from 1997 when WCW was #1 and that was going up against a stronger RAW product than from '97
@cHriiSzbEe Russo arrived in the fall of 99, Fingerpoke of Doom was January 99
