You just know when Conrad says something emotional/poignant it’s time to get that fast forward finger ready because he’s 100% about to jump into that Magic Spoon ad.
Conrad saying that wrestling would not be where it is today without Dixie Carter is crazy. Tell that to anyone at the WWE Corporate Office that has been there the last 15-20 years and they will laugh you out of the building.
@@Carvercity96 Conrad has such lust for Dixie, it's sickening! By the way, I like Conrad. He's a bid deal in podcasts for a reason. But enough with the revisionist history!
Loved this episode on Dixie from Eric's perspective (heard Double J's take before).. got me thinking though, are we going to get a Jason Hervey 83 Weeks episode?? I dug his acting, and his interest in wrestling was super cool to me, so I'd love to hear more about him on the opposite side of the camera! Big C, make it happen! 😎
If you havent, go and watch Hogan's PBD podcast interview from a few days ago. He is all over the place with dates and facts, still needs a podcast though.
With hindsight being 20/20--obviously bringing in Hulk & Bischoff was a massive financial and creative misstep. What, if anything, could TNA have done in 2010 to get on the right track? Remember: they were off Spike and Dixie had to sell the business within 5-6 years of Hulk debuting when they went against Raw.
Loved tna during the hulk immortal days. Thats when i got into it. And it was because of abyss. I know people hate on tna at that time but i needed it man. Wwe sucked from 2010-2014 really bad and tna was a great alternative.
As far as Hogan having creative control over his character in TNA, I don’t see that as a problem as much as it was in WCW. It’s not like Hogan was going to TNA so he could be competing for their world title on six PPV‘s or anything like that. I know he did wrestle some, but it was very limited and it was more of him being used as an attraction then then sitting around the table saying “well we gotta get Hulk over, so people will buy him as a top guy for the next PPV” In TNA Hogan was really used more as a billboard for TNA. Then he was a wrestler at that point. Even when he was with WWE before he came to Tn, it’s not like he was working a full road schedule. By the time he got to TNA he was too old to be wrestling every week anymore anyway.
I thought Hallk Hogan was the name of the bootleg wrestler toys my Grandma would bring us from Mexico. I guess it was legit per Bischoff’s pronunciation.
@evm6386 Because TNA was more entertaining than WWE for a lot of years. Good? Bad? That's subjective. Entertaining? It's hard to argue that it wasn't.
Okay, hear me out...Dixie Carter and Tony Khan running a wrestling company, with Vince Russo as the head writer, Mike Adamle as main interviewer and John Laurenitis as head of talent relations. What could possibly go wrong?
Thats a great idea! Getting that many experts in the wrestling business running a company, im sure everything would run smoothly and it would be profitable lol.
AEW is bad for the business. Yes, there should be an alternative to WWE, but AEW is not it. Another wrestling promotion would grow to become an alternative, just like TNA did.
Eb had zero to do with tna dying lol it's so funny how ignorant people are on that topic. He had no control over the company or what they were doing. He wanted them to spend money and get out of the fucking sound stage they didn't listen to him and just bled money slowly by staying content with being small time.
@OneUltimateWarrior yep and they lost money 3 of those years lol. 2008 to 2010 were the best years profit wise for tna according to JJ. Can't make money when you can't sell ppvs or have a good tv deal and are stuck in a sound stage.
Conrad started this episode off stating point blank "I'm going to rewrite history and make Dixie be this sympathetic person despite having absolutely no business near TNA and it's bankrupt talent due to her (and other's) incompetence."
@@handsomelee9568 But you have no logic in this case. It is not my opinion that things happened. They did happened. It is a matter of fact that what I stated happened in real life. My opinion is that Dixie is a moron. It is a matter of *fact* that she made awful decisions and avoided paying talent.
I'll click on every video about TNA and watch or listen to as much as i can about TNA's past, especially from 2002-2014

Hulk Hogan & Eric Bischoff didn't kill TNA. Dixie Carter did.

Truth With Consequences
Bro
Which is true to a point Dixie wanting to revisit the wcw days which had highs but had a very bad low and should of kept away
Eric will always be the coolest guy in wrestling
I love hearing about the Bisch's holidays. Living the dream
There was a point when TNA was more exciting than WWE.
Void Conrad is going all in that manlandscape endorsement

TNA wrestling was good during early days before hogan and bischoff came in as well

Tony Khan should rekindle his relationship with Eric. Eric knows his stuff from a Wrestling perspective. And looking at AEW now, they could use Eric.
I really wanted to listen to this. But 16 mins in straight to an advert. Conrad’s shows have more adverts than a tv show

Mr Bischoff u crack me up!😂. I know how much Hogan is making, what about me?! Where is Tony Khan when u need him?!?! 😂
😂😂😂facts
What does Eric think of Tony's "Ichi Ni San Da" chant?😆😆
I miss TNA.
LMAO why dude?

Eric Bischoff does not have the right to criticize Dixie Carter

@@hitmangfx7162 well, Adamle is suffering from old timers disease as we speak so that isn't fair.

How long before Lauranitis makes a pass at Dixie?
I'd actually like to see that unfold just out of morbid curiosity 😂
If Dixie becoming a character was Russo's idea, why did they wait until late 2009 to make it happen?
Because when Jeff Jarrett got sent home in 2009 Russo had the opportunity to appeal to Dixie's ego
TNA greatest run was 2008 through 2013....
Nah more like 05-06

She probably made the carpet work at LensCrafters to pay the bills, too
Shes a thot that banged talent. She turned herself out
3 Wishes is better than Magic Spoon .. a little less protein but healthier & better tasting. It's also not as expensive.
Never heard of it, my grocery store now has been carrying MS, it’s ok but expensive yes
RUSSO AND DIXIE ARE CLEAR BETTER CHIOCES EVEN WITH THERE SHORT COMINGS BETTER THAN TONY KAHN
Ads are gettin ridiculous

Wade Keller's thoughts on what the speech should have been are bad. Would have been channel changing cringe.

Bubba was AEW and Opie and Anthony and Howard Stern were WWE. Bubba was trash and also a fake tough guy.
1:30:11 You sure you’re not describing yourself Eric? Why won’t you go on camera to debate Vince if he’s so weak and pathetic?
Why is he obligated to debate someone over some shit that happened 24 years ago? I'm sure he just wants to be done dealing with that clown
Bishop is so lame he left tna and tna is still on the air
Who's bishop again ????😂😂😂😂
TNA was great wrestling until Bischoff and Hogan showed up that's a fact.
Self preservation and greed in TNA... coming from the guy ahead of Hulk Hogan.. Mr Creative Control.... which was part of what killed TNA.
