Episode 449: Pure Soap Opera
Show notes
On this week's 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson take us back 30 years for this week in nWo history! The drama between Hollywood Hogan, Miss Elizabeth, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage is reaching a boiling point, and Eric breaks down why wrestling programming has to be a soap opera to keep fans coming back. The guys also debate whether comedy belongs in professional wrestling, while Eric explains why he believes Turner executives didn't give a damn about WCW's success. From personal rivalries to corporate frustrations, there's plenty to unpack on this edition of Monday Nitro! But that's not all, Conrad takes us on a special tour of Randy Savage's estate for a never before seen glimpsie into the private world of the Macho Man.
