Nothing. They literally crowned a new champion a few days prior and instead of positioning the company around one of their biggest assets they focus on a quick internet pop…airing the footage was not the *finger poke of doom* moment this Tony Kahn angle was. The only question I ask is, why not have your champion. Tks champion come out to end the show. If they don’t care about the Aew champion, why should we?
Tony's got another business, didn't you hear? The Jaguares that make seriouse money. $110 million in revanue. I believe this will cover the majority of his losses in both the video game and the week-to-week operations of his Indy Wrestling Show.

Is Conrad currently in the process of getting a divorce? The shelves no longer house his assortment of replica wrestling titles and other memorabilia. Let’s speak truthfully, Conrad’s presence in the wrestling space is solely because of his marriage to Rick Flair’s other daughter.

It's because of his obvious arrogance. It's because of how blatant he is about his love of money. There is no doubt in my mind that he would sell out his own family for more money. I am very good at reading people. I was able to see what CM Punk was a full decade ago. Everyone else has finally started to catch up in the last couple years. I have been proven right about that, and I know I'm right about Bischoff as well.
Who cares about his skin color, it's not 1945 and he's not opressed. He's not the first black champion in aew, he's not even the first non white world champion. No one cares about his skin color so long as the man can wrestle.
Swerve literally just won the championship & ZERO celebration for this man yet they expected us to care about Kyle Fletcher who hasn't won a match in MONTHS
If he didn't, it would be 2 guys hating on AE.W 100% percent of the time. All you guys wanna hear is AEW hate. If it's not enough here listen to Cucknette geesh...
He’s at a cross road, this is all they have left to make things interesting again, if they fail this then there’s no chance their crowds and viewership is coming back.
I see a lot of people posting this online I don't see a problem with someone changing their mind It's like none of us have ever changed our minds before. Yes it was a desperation move but again he's entitled the changes mind the show clearly struggling so they're trying to do something
Conrad should know WWE slowly started getting better when Triple H first took over in July 2022 but it didn't take off till Vince was ousted 14 months later. If Vince is still around the WWE would not be as good as it is now
Seriously, get rid of Conrad. He’s disingenuous and an AEW tribalist. Eric needs someone who can play devils advocate but still have fun and bounce off Eric. Conrad is none of that.
We want stories, not internet controversy from literal months ago. Like Swerve or not, they immediately made the championship irrelevant by not having him involved in this at all.
One of the reasons Austin Vs McMahon worked is because not only did people believe that Vince was the evil manipulative puppet master type of boss, but they also believed that Stone Cold was bad ass enough to go toe to toe with his boss and give him the finger. So the problem with this angle is like Eric said, CASTING. I’m sorry to say to AEW super fans but NO ONE is intimidated by guys like the young bucks and a grown man named Jungle Boy Jack. Tony is beyond awkward and the opposite of tough, but he’s also been so insufferable about his company being the best and trying to put it on the same level as WWE. At the same time, he’s been oblivious/defensive about the flaws in his shows and his own contributions as far as the writing and booking. So with those things being true, he’s not sympathetic enough to be a baby face to most people who know all that and to the causal he just comes off as a huge fan boy nerd. So this will NEVER be like the NWO or Austin and McMahon because both sides aren’t cast in a way that makes them believable or gotta see TV.
Eric comes across as very bitter and immature. Seems hellbent on letting everyone know how smart he is and how much better he is than them. Very, very arrogant person. He's right in a lot of what he says about AEW< but you can tell he's not a good person.
I think at this point, Eric and Jim Cornette should let bygones be bygones and have a weekly show together. I'd much rather that than listen to Conrad try and convince anyone that WWE's red hot run recently has ANYTHING to do with AEW and not because of the sake to TKO and change of creative control.
The thing that gets me is Tony Khan doesn’t even know how to get attacked or take a bump . Tony Khan got hit in the body and he then acted like he was knocked out then after that he sales his stomach. I don’t know if he was expecting a head shot and had rehearsed it that way or what . But his body reaction wasn’t right on top of that they took so much care of him . The Bucks held him like a baby and laid him down as if it was child . I am not fan of Vince but when he got ring and took a bump it looked better and they wasn’t playing around with Vince they laid it in . So if Tony Khan can’t do it right and take bumps just don’t do it all .
I think Tony did that intentionally (that’s where most of the highest ratings are due to the ending program leading into Dynamite) so Tony probably doesn’t have faith in Swerve or he wanted Swerve to open the show hoping for the ratings to spike then continue throughout the night but as everyone knows the ratings fall flat after the opening segment
THE RATINGS ARE IN.. AEW DYNAMITE DID 683,000 LAST NIGHT. AND THIS WAS THE SHOW AFTER DYNASTY. OSPREAY, OKADA, THE BUCKS, MOXLEY AND MONE WERE ALL ON THE SHOW.. WHAT IS THE EXCUSE NOW?
My favorite was when he said "I'm not gonna take this fucking shit" & looked around to ANYONE for approval And since then has taken NOTHING BUT tons & tons of bullshit
1:01:03 Here’s the thing, Cody left WWE but he didn’t just go straight to AEW, he recreated himself FIRST then HE started (with TK and the Bucks etc) but he was already the American Nightmare version of himself before AEW even existed. Where would AEW be without Cody? It wouldn’t exist.
It's a friendly discussion at the end of the day but Bischoff made several key points that landed right in the bullseye. Eric is at his best when he is fired up.... no doubt about it.
I tried listening to Grilling JR this week but after 25 minutes I stopped as Conrad non stop talked AEW. I kept fast forwarding it hoping they will get to topic of Backlash 2004 but after 25 minutes I had enough. Conrad is so in love with AEW
It makes less sense showing the footage to the abortion they committed last night. Conrad cannot be a host to Eric. Let's do a trade for Bryan Alvarez. Then Conrad and Uncle Dave can spend two hours smelling Tony's farts.
Eric should do a podcast w Sean Oliver or Sam Shepard. I stopped listening to 83 wks B/C of Conrad! I only recently started listening again & usually it's just clips of what I think might be interesting. Conrad is a terrible Podcaster imo.
Eric comes across as very bitter and immature. Seems hellbent on letting everyone know how smart he is and how much better he is than them. Very, very arrogant person. He's right in a lot of what he says about AEW< but you can tell he's not a good person.
@James-if3kc Eric speaks with conviction because he knows what he knows and more importantly, what he doesn't know. That's actual maturity and wisdom. He also doesn't surround himself with yes men because he knows the importance of being challenged. Only explanation for keeping Conrad around.
The reason why Cody and The Rock blew up on RUclips and Tony Khan, Jack Perry and Young Bucks didn't is because of Starpower. Non Wrestling fans know The Rock, he's a draw. Jack Perry and Young Bucks appeal to the same small percentage of Wrestling Fans who worship Meltzer and read The Observer like some kind of Holy Book
AEW didn't make Cody Rhodes. He didn't leave WWE and go to AEW. He built a name for himself in NWA, ROH, NJPW, putting together the original All-In, etc. If anything, his lackluster run in AEW was a detour. Sure, Cody gave a lot to AEW in the early phases, but AEW did very little for Cody's career beyond being able to list 'co-founder' on his CV.
I’ve been listening since the very start. Sad to say, I think 83 Weeks has run its course. I’d love to see Eric go his own way. In my opinion and apparently the opinion of many others, Conrad has become unlistenable.
Conrad's "I like it" is the equivalent of Tony Khan's "Everything's great." No matter how terrible the show is, you can count on them to say these lines 😂😂
The chemistry between these guys is really fantastic. Separately they are both interesting to listen to, but together there is an intangible that makes it really special
1:02:16 No Conrad, Eric’s right. WWE would’ve had their success they have now but a little differently if AEW was never in the picture. Triple H spent his first 6 months turning WWE around WITHOUT Cody Rhodes, he wouldn’t have needed Cody in the picture at all. AEW didn’t facilitate WWE’s relationships with Endeavor or Nick Khan’s wheeling and dealing to get the company sold. Sorry Connie, Eric is right.
I hear what Eazy E is saying about Strickland and probably most of us were thinking the same thing...but is no one going to mention that Jay White was booked on the PRE SHOW OF A PPV!?!?...
Eric saying “if Tony had a fucking clue…” and before he even finished his sentence Conrad goes “ehhhhhhhhh” that’s all you need to hear. Conrad is disingenuous. His wrestling takes are worse than his mortgage refinancing scam
Acting like the tribalism is equal on both sides is such bullshit. MOST of us "AEW Haters" offer constructive criticism that is taken too personally by AEW fans/employees/owner

WWE is hotter than ever. AEW is never going to get there. If AEW isn’t going out of business, and wrestlers are happy with an alternative place to work, why does it matter if AEW entertains a few hundred people (and it apparently does, as the loyal fan base suggests) Is it simply because they could be so much more? Is there a risk of AEW disappearing? Or is it because Tony Khan is punching upwards with no substance? LOVE 83 weeks! Keep up the great work!
WWE is losing ratings because of HHH's mark booking. Don't pretend like he's any better than TK. Ratings were up when The Rock was there, now they're back in the toilet.
The fact that Conrad wants to belittle Eric about AEW doing nothing to build Pro Wrestling shows he’s just like Dave. Conrad uses Cody, the man who started Aew, and then ignores everything else a man who drew 3 million people on Mondays while Vince drew another 3 million mondays against the MNF on FREE tv shows Conrad is just another Dave who thinks because he married into wrestling royalty that he actually knows anything about the business.
All i could do is laugh at the 🤡 making a complete fool out of myself and embarrassing his own father on national television Shane would never do Vince McMahon like that nor Triple H say wtf you want to say idgaf it is what it is g facts are facts ain't that's right Easy E the True OG Mr 83 weeks The Real Number 2 Company #WCW
@@ANARCHY-nr2lqthey’re doing an angle where Tony Khan is an on screen character who the elite have beaten down in order to take over aew, but it was very poorly executed and is just not gonna go anywhere
The story line is to have Shad Khan be the father who is tired of the son mismanaging his money. They bring in Jhinder as his father’s enforcer, or Consigli to keep Tony in line, and get the company back on track. That’s the us vs them story line that can be built off of this past week.
For people who haven't figured this out yet, in order to get the fired up eric at AEW, Conrad has to give the pro AEW side so Eric has something to feed off of, they're "working", Conrad knows the best part of the show is Eric lambasting AEW so he tees it up everyweek now and lets Eric cook 😂
I laughed at this segment. It was like watching 10 year olds play pro wrestling. Tony dropped dead from one gut punch. I've been sucker punched to the gut when I was around that age and I didn't fall. I just got the wind knocked out of me for a few minutes. If AEW was serious they would have copied the Nexus attack and beat Tony to near death with The Elite talking turns doing their finishers on him. The whole sequence didn't make any sense because The Elite did a face move. The AEW fans hate Tony for firing CM Punk, so logically that makes him a heel. What The Elite basically did was SCSA move of hitting heel Vince with a Stunner. It doesn't work because The Bucks have Go Way Heat and can never be faces. Anal Explosive Waste at it's finest!
Conrad almost crying while Eric is spitting facts is the best thing in 83weeks 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love to both anyways i like this discussions and conrad generally asks intrigue questions which makes it more fun.

He wouldn't be treated no different than Shinske, initially pushed & then forgotten about. He wouldn't ever hold one of the two top titles, most likely the IC or US would be his ceiling.
@RelaxingGhost in the WWE it is. Look at Nakamura, just as big a star as Okada & how far did he go? Sure, he won a Royal Rumble in 2018 but that's as close as he got to main even caliber. He's a two time IC champ & a two time US champ. I see the same for Okada if he had chosen WWE. WWE fans have never really taken to Japanese wrestlers, it's hard for them to get over in WWE. The females have had better luck than the male stars & even Asuka has had her troubles. Don't get me wrong, I love Asuka, Sane, & Skye. Also a big Shinske fan, but it seems like the Japanese stars have a hard time in the WWE. And I know they do well on NXT, I'm talking about the two major shows, Raw & Smackdown.
So they show footage of someone putting a coworker in a chokehold. That guy gets fired and the recipient of the chokehold gets suspended. The guy that comes off the suspension punches the owner in the company in the stomach on TV. The 2 EVP’s try to break the owners neck on TV. Was Tony in fear for his safety? Who is going to be suspended for this? LAME angle. No consistency.
Two questions: What did you think of the Tony Khan angle? And what do you think it leads to?
I loved it...but it's probably going to lead to blood and guts and that's it

Who cares about his skin color, it's not 1945 and he's not opressed. He's not the first black champion in aew, he's not even the first non white world champion. No one cares about his skin color so long as the man can wrestle.
Swerve literally just won the championship & ZERO celebration for this man yet they expected us to care about Kyle Fletcher who hasn't won a match in MONTHS
They gave that celebration to Willow.... the 2nd tier women's championship. 🤦♂️
And Swerve is a deserving champion too, they should have just said he will speak for the first time on Friday.
Yeah. Swerve was a longtime coming but he had no celebration and he had to defend against kyle fletcher who had no credibility as an RoH champion.
@@kingleonidas6352swerve should’ve won it two months ago. now as always they pulled the trigger too late after the hype is gone
You don't need the word 'literally' there. Swerve just won the championship.
Conrad will always side with AEW no matter how shitty a show is
Money mark gonna money mark.
I can't take Conrad seriously. Eric is better without him.
If he didn't, it would be 2 guys hating on AE.W 100% percent of the time. All you guys wanna hear is AEW hate. If it's not enough here listen to Cucknette geesh...
Tony gives him free food.
@@blackjack23ableCornette completely complimented Ospreay and Danielson. He doesn't always down them. He calls it how he sees it with all wrestling.
Also, don't forget, Tony Khan said he wasn't going to be part of the shows. He didn't want to be in the shows...yet here he is
Also don't forget all the shit punk AND CODY said about WWE back in the day. Everyone is a hypocrite in wrestling
He’s at a cross road, this is all they have left to make things interesting again, if they fail this then there’s no chance their crowds and viewership is coming back.
I see a lot of people posting this online I don't see a problem with someone changing their mind It's like none of us have ever changed our minds before.
Yes it was a desperation move but again he's entitled the changes mind the show clearly struggling so they're trying to do something
Same thing Vince Russo said in WCW
Every word that comes out of Tony Khlown's mouth is a lie. He promised he wouldn't sign every ex-WWE talent to focus on AEW's home grown talent.
Conrad saying that WWE wouldn't be where they are right now without AEW is one of the funniest and most ridiculous things I've ever heard!!!
Conrad should know WWE slowly started getting better when Triple H first took over in July 2022 but it didn't take off till Vince was ousted 14 months later. If Vince is still around the WWE would not be as good as it is now
WWE got better because of Vince leaving and losing power, not AEW. People need to get that correct
Seriously, get rid of Conrad. He’s disingenuous and an AEW tribalist. Eric needs someone who can play devils advocate but still have fun and bounce off Eric. Conrad is none of that.
Jungle boy looks at the camera like he Hyde from the 70s show i feel violated 😅
😂
😂😂😂
If you know you know 😂😂
That made it worse you saw it coming a mile away... Bad acting
How are the worst actors on planet earth allowed well on prime time tv?
We want stories, not internet controversy from literal months ago. Like Swerve or not, they immediately made the championship irrelevant by not having him involved in this at all.
The gasp in the talents face when they see Tony's dad appear was comedy 🤣
Uh oh. Daddy’s here 😂
Strange ending to this episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
One of the reasons Austin Vs McMahon worked is because not only did people believe that Vince was the evil manipulative puppet master type of boss, but they also believed that Stone Cold was bad ass enough to go toe to toe with his boss and give him the finger. So the problem with this angle is like Eric said, CASTING. I’m sorry to say to AEW super fans but NO ONE is intimidated by guys like the young bucks and a grown man named Jungle Boy Jack. Tony is beyond awkward and the opposite of tough, but he’s also been so insufferable about his company being the best and trying to put it on the same level as WWE. At the same time, he’s been oblivious/defensive about the flaws in his shows and his own contributions as far as the writing and booking. So with those things being true, he’s not sympathetic enough to be a baby face to most people who know all that and to the causal he just comes off as a huge fan boy nerd. So this will NEVER be like the NWO or Austin and McMahon because both sides aren’t cast in a way that makes them believable or gotta see TV.
Jungle Boy could get his ass kicked by many fans. He isnt a tough guy. The Bucks themselves are weak. The were smart to take millions from Tony.
The show was a abomination-from the angles to the abysmal audio issues. It sounded like they were filming the show underwater.
Love him or hate him, Eric Bischoff has the most amazing random one liners lmao.
Great show. AEW is wait and see 4 what seems like forever.
Cornette beats him
@@TonyDanza4Lyfe Be fair. Who beats Cornette for one liners?
@@franklingoodwin Eric makes great points but nowhere close to what lines Corny delivers all day haha
Eric comes across as very bitter and immature. Seems hellbent on letting everyone know how smart he is and how much better he is than them. Very, very arrogant person. He's right in a lot of what he says about AEW< but you can tell he's not a good person.
Perry wasn’t suspended over a “minor infraction” he was suspended for going out of his way to piss off the biggest star in the company…
That’s minor…that’s not a suspension level event in most companies
@@ConcreteRoseCJ he cost them Punk.
No... Punk did it himself. He's a fragile little man who bitches when things don't go his way. @@SiegeHann
@@SiegeHanntheir lack of professionalism from the highups cost them Punk
@@tcincali9642 yep, more jealousy IMHO… Punk came in and had better ratings, merch sales and gate… the Cucamonga Click didn’t like that at all…
I think at this point, Eric and Jim Cornette should let bygones be bygones and have a weekly show together. I'd much rather that than listen to Conrad try and convince anyone that WWE's red hot run recently has ANYTHING to do with AEW and not because of the sake to TKO and change of creative control.
I thought they were alright with each other after doing that table for 3 episode.
As long as they do it with Brian Last instead of Conrad :/ or at least both
They really have found a lot of common ground in their breakdown of AEW's follies.
They're both toxic bullies so yeah.
@@James-if3kc yeah I heard Eric and Jim held Tony’s head in the toilet and gave him a swirly after the draft last night
Conrad is scared he’s gonna get blacklisted from AEW, He’s afraid his little “”friend”” Tony is gonna block his number.
The thing that gets me is Tony Khan doesn’t even know how to get attacked or take a bump . Tony Khan got hit in the body and he then acted like he was knocked out then after that he sales his stomach. I don’t know if he was expecting a head shot and had rehearsed it that way or what . But his body reaction wasn’t right on top of that they took so much care of him . The Bucks held him like a baby and laid him down as if it was child . I am not fan of Vince but when he got ring and took a bump it looked better and they wasn’t playing around with Vince they laid it in . So if Tony Khan can’t do it right and take bumps just don’t do it all .
“Lucky sperm club”’is hilarious. Witty, adult humor version of “born with a silver spoon”
He's sounding more like Corny all the time.
Conrad can’t handle the truth
Not as much as he handles mcdonalds it appears
I'll tell you what I can't handle: smelly pits! Get Mando
I'm sure you're super good looking and not overweight at all.
@@James-if3kc One thing I don’t do it attack someone by their looks, can’t really control your looks…
Internet fight!!😂
First Black World Champion in the company and have him jerkin' the curtain to face off against Kevin Flanders in the opening match.
I think Tony did that intentionally (that’s where most of the highest ratings are due to the ending program leading into Dynamite) so Tony probably doesn’t have faith in Swerve or he wanted Swerve to open the show hoping for the ratings to spike then continue throughout the night but as everyone knows the ratings fall flat after the opening segment
@@maxpayne7312I think that makes it worse since he didn’t even have him right at the start of the show. Instead it we get an Orange Cassidy bit…
@@tpc3347and look at the ratings..maybe a white world champion is needed again!!
We need to stop emphasizing tmsich trivial things. Black, white, doesn't matter.
Who cares what his skin color is. He's not Jackie Robinson it's not 1945.
This is quickly becoming my favorite Conrad podcast. Eric speaking the truth has got me hooked
THE RATINGS ARE IN.. AEW DYNAMITE DID 683,000 LAST NIGHT. AND THIS WAS THE SHOW AFTER DYNASTY. OSPREAY, OKADA, THE BUCKS, MOXLEY AND MONE WERE ALL ON THE SHOW.. WHAT IS THE EXCUSE NOW?
Oh they blame the NHL and NBA playoff games and such. You know it can never be that AEW is FN boring and not worth watching.
Again, 5 star Meltzer matches do nothing to bring fans in
Shad should just go full villain. “It was me Tony!!!! It was me all along!!!!!”
That’s kind of the only thing that would make sense as far as the whole group that attacked Tony not being fired.
Shad got sick of Tony's wasteful spending and lack of management skills lol
@@CockyBalboa yes but they will NEVER do that BECAUSE it makes sense
@@ZachHighwindThat would be so funny if they did that.
Yes, like Super Mario.
This episode proves without a shadow of a doubt, Alba was a better co-host with Bischoff than Conrad is
Huh? Alba sucks too! 😕
@@robbymarton74 better than conrad tho
The 3 tons of soap made from Conrad’s liposuction would be a better cohost.
"This is a serious wrestling company and I'm a big boy"- Tony Khan
My favorite was when he said "I'm not gonna take this fucking shit" & looked around to ANYONE for approval
And since then has taken NOTHING BUT tons & tons of bullshit
Tony reminds me of Ralph Wiggum from the Simpsons.
@@TheMattypoo21 Ralph Wiggum is a funny character, TK is not. We will never hear anything like, "I bent my Wookie" from TK
@@bobpatel5646I feel like we could.
🤣
This got to be a gimmick for Conrad at this point is he apart of Jericho’s learning tree of delusion ? 😂
1:01:03 Here’s the thing, Cody left WWE but he didn’t just go straight to AEW, he recreated himself FIRST then HE started (with TK and the Bucks etc) but he was already the American Nightmare version of himself before AEW even existed. Where would AEW be without Cody? It wouldn’t exist.
Conrad is the tony khan of podcasts
Conrad would've defended the shockmaster if Tony khan did it
That botch is still more entertaining than anything AEW's been producing.
Meltzer would give it 10 stars if that happened in AEW
I expect Tony Khan to rehash that angle soon with Conrad as the shock master.
Conrad is Tony's biggest mark
He's a HUGE FANBOY🤣🤣🤣🤣
2nd biggest. Tony is Tony's biggest mark
Conrad is so petty and vindictive towards Eric point of view regarding aew.
Truth huge sad fanboy
Pretty sure that's Dave Meltzer
I completely agree w/Eruc about TK burying Swerve; like wtf are you doing???? Even Conrad , Conrad of all people knew how wrong that was
It's a friendly discussion at the end of the day but Bischoff made several key points that landed right in the bullseye. Eric is at his best when he is fired up.... no doubt about it.
Why is Conrad sounding insulted when Eric goes on his rant?
Why is he suprised by any of this 😂
Reminds me of a demented guy who lets out a fart and then asks what the smell is.
Goddammit. Got thru 5 minutes of this video & had to stop. Conrad just kills it for me everytime! Seriously.
I tried listening to Grilling JR this week but after 25 minutes I stopped as Conrad non stop talked AEW. I kept fast forwarding it hoping they will get to topic of Backlash 2004 but after 25 minutes I had enough. Conrad is so in love with AEW
Conrad is such a AEW mark
Amen
It makes less sense showing the footage to the abortion they committed last night. Conrad cannot be a host to Eric. Let's do a trade for Bryan Alvarez. Then Conrad and Uncle Dave can spend two hours smelling Tony's farts.
Wow! Now thats original.
@@pinroshan020 It doesn't need to be original, genius. It's someone's opinion on a RUclips video lol
Yes this episode solidified it!
Love what Conrad has done for wrestling podcasts but was praying this would be Eric on his own.
Waiting for Jim now 😂
The bloodline story was going strong way before could enter the picture lol
Conrad made kiss sounds when Bruce talked about triple h. Make a kiss sounds to Conrad when they talk about Tony Khan
SHOCKED that Conrad is defending that spot.🤡🤡🤡👍🏾🤡🤡
why shocked? He has kinda proven himself to be an AEW mark for a while now. lol
@@zeromagnum2811bud… its sarcasm 😂😭
Defends his point of chew like at an All You Can Eat Buffet.
Get rid of Conrad. He's garbage. He's holding you back eric. I love watching wise choices because Conrad isn't around dragging the content down.
Bully Ray and Bischoff are two peas in a pod. Both disgusting bullies who think they're better than anyone.
Eric should do a podcast w Sean Oliver or Sam Shepard. I stopped listening to 83 wks B/C of Conrad! I only recently started listening again & usually it's just clips of what I think might be interesting. Conrad is a terrible Podcaster imo.
Eric comes across as very bitter and immature. Seems hellbent on letting everyone know how smart he is and how much better he is than them. Very, very arrogant person. He's right in a lot of what he says about AEW< but you can tell he's not a good person.
@James-if3kc Eric speaks with conviction because he knows what he knows and more importantly, what he doesn't know. That's actual maturity and wisdom. He also doesn't surround himself with yes men because he knows the importance of being challenged. Only explanation for keeping Conrad around.
@@vronica03 You're really in love with him, aren't you?
Is Conrad for real? LMAO.
The reason why Cody and The Rock blew up on RUclips and Tony Khan, Jack Perry and Young Bucks didn't is because of Starpower. Non Wrestling fans know The Rock, he's a draw. Jack Perry and Young Bucks appeal to the same small percentage of Wrestling Fans who worship Meltzer and read The Observer like some kind of Holy Book
If ESPN cuts to Jacksonvilles war room and Tony is sitting there in a neck brace, lol. 😂
Tony better be.
What if his dad could not be there because of his sons injuries
i want to see that.
He should, lol.
lol pulling a Andy Kaufman 😂😂😂
AEW didn't make Cody Rhodes. He didn't leave WWE and go to AEW. He built a name for himself in NWA, ROH, NJPW, putting together the original All-In, etc. If anything, his lackluster run in AEW was a detour. Sure, Cody gave a lot to AEW in the early phases, but AEW did very little for Cody's career beyond being able to list 'co-founder' on his CV.
AEW treated him terribly as a in ring wrestler. So did the fan base
It makes me laugh how Tony Khan is making mistake after mistake after mistake every single week 😂
And the best part is Conrad and his excuses 😂
Did you watch the show or just suck the results from this guy's nuts?
Instead of the neck brace, they should get him a helmet. Not that there's much left to hurt ...
I love the show with Conrad, it’s so hilarious how he keeps defending AEW😂
I’ve been listening since the very start.
Sad to say,
I think 83 Weeks has run its course.
I’d love to see Eric go his own way.
In my opinion and apparently the opinion of many others, Conrad has become unlistenable.
Conrad should just stick with his real estate business and get off these podcasts
Shad Khan looked more natural than Tony has ever looked on camera
He actually had an aura of being important.
@@RonMarek Because he's the main man and not the nepo baby son. He also doesn't look like a dork.
@@franklingoodwin facts
Tony Khan is more importnat than any of you will ever be. No one knows who any of you are.
I’ve never seen someone lose consciousness from a gut punch before…
And take a back bump 😂😂 it defies physics and logic
It happens all the time, never seen anybody go unconscious from someone just kinda touching a microphone to their tum tum though.
Bahahahaha
@@Justanotherjobber u guys are cracking me up because it’s all true! lol
Conrad's "I like it" is the equivalent of Tony Khan's "Everything's great." No matter how terrible the show is, you can count on them to say these lines 😂😂
Conrad doesn’t get that the majority have already given up on AEW and don’t care about the angles on YT, just the Ospreay highlights.
Okada looked like a teacher watching his students fight.
He seems totally out of place w them.
OCODY😅😂
That’s what They get after buying a WishApp Cody 🤷♀️😂
It's hard to tell if he's not sleeping. And by that I mean his cat-like movements RUclips ... and nothing else 😏
Anyone seeing that crowd and thinking they aren't circling the drain is kidding themselves.
What will Shad Khan do when his son embarrasses him in front of other NFL owners?
That's just my autismo son playing pretend again
He did it. Went on NFL Network too and tried to bury WWE and compare them to a convicted sexual predator. This guy is unreal
@@alesitercrimson24 🤣🤣🤣 I seen that it was fantastic
The chemistry between these guys is really fantastic. Separately they are both interesting to listen to, but together there is an intangible that makes it really special
1:02:16 No Conrad, Eric’s right. WWE would’ve had their success they have now but a little differently if AEW was never in the picture.
Triple H spent his first 6 months turning WWE around WITHOUT Cody Rhodes, he wouldn’t have needed Cody in the picture at all.
AEW didn’t facilitate WWE’s relationships with Endeavor or Nick Khan’s wheeling and dealing to get the company sold.
Sorry Connie, Eric is right.
😂 Conrad is such a useless mark
Mic poke of doom
😂 😂 😂
💀 True
Right, everyone’s calling it a punch, it wasn’t a punch. It was a microphone touch to the tummy.
I hear what Eazy E is saying about Strickland and probably most of us were thinking the same thing...but is no one going to mention that Jay White was booked on the PRE SHOW OF A PPV!?!?...
Eric saying “if Tony had a fucking clue…” and before he even finished his sentence Conrad goes “ehhhhhhhhh” that’s all you need to hear. Conrad is disingenuous. His wrestling takes are worse than his mortgage refinancing scam
Acting like the tribalism is equal on both sides is such bullshit. MOST of us "AEW Haters" offer constructive criticism that is taken too personally by AEW fans/employees/owner
Amen.
Exactly. They ignore the fact that we WANTED Aew to work. They’re mentally ill
@@TonyDanza4Lyfe 100%!! They IMMEDIATELY go to "You want people to lose their jobs!!!"
Nobody wants anyone to lose their job.. if ANYTHING, we want the company to succeed long-term. The ones acting like everything is "Great! 🔔!) are much more damaging to people's financial futures than those of us criticizing where we think it can improve

@@TonyDanza4Lyfehell yeah i wanted it to work. I wouldve loved flipping between both like i did wcw and wwf in the 90’s. A found memory as a young adult. I thought i was getting that back and have been disappointed

The ratings echo Eric's sentiment; 683,000 (0.23)
Is this live now? What a bonus to be able to see this in U.K. at a normal time! Love the show!
I agree, fellow Brit. That wouldn't be The Emirates Stadium I see in your profile picture is it?
WWE is hotter than ever. AEW is never going to get there. If AEW isn’t going out of business, and wrestlers are happy with an alternative place to work, why does it matter if AEW entertains a few hundred people (and it apparently does, as the loyal fan base suggests) Is it simply because they could be so much more? Is there a risk of AEW disappearing? Or is it because Tony Khan is punching upwards with no substance? LOVE 83 weeks! Keep up the great work!
WWE is losing ratings because of HHH's mark booking. Don't pretend like he's any better than TK. Ratings were up when The Rock was there, now they're back in the toilet.
The problem with the Bucks and TK are that they look like high school kids playing dress up.
So agree the only one that looked like a real wrestler was Okada; even jungle boy is all small and frail looking
7:05 ERIC WITH THAT TRUTH DROP
The fact that Conrad wants to belittle Eric about AEW doing nothing to build Pro Wrestling shows he’s just like Dave. Conrad uses Cody, the man who started Aew, and then ignores everything else a man who drew 3 million people on Mondays while Vince drew another 3 million mondays against the MNF on FREE tv shows Conrad is just another Dave who thinks because he married into wrestling royalty that he actually knows anything about the business.
All i could do is laugh at the 🤡 making a complete fool out of myself and embarrassing his own father on national television Shane would never do Vince McMahon like that nor Triple H say wtf you want to say idgaf it is what it is g facts are facts ain't that's right Easy E the True OG Mr 83 weeks The Real Number 2 Company #WCW

It was a brilliant angle. Bischoff is jealous he didnt come up with it.
@@James-if3kc You're fucking delsuional
The story line is to have Shad Khan be the father who is tired of the son mismanaging his money. They bring in Jhinder as his father’s enforcer, or Consigli to keep Tony in line, and get the company back on track. That’s the us vs them story line that can be built off of this past week.
No, instead it will be Tony Khan vs Jack Perry in an exploding diaper match.
That doesnt sound bad but Jinder is under a 90 day no compete clause. By that point, this storyline is dead.
For people who haven't figured this out yet, in order to get the fired up eric at AEW, Conrad has to give the pro AEW side so Eric has something to feed off of, they're "working", Conrad knows the best part of the show is Eric lambasting AEW so he tees it up everyweek now and lets Eric cook 😂
I laughed at this segment. It was like watching 10 year olds play pro wrestling. Tony dropped dead from one gut punch. I've been sucker punched to the gut when I was around that age and I didn't fall. I just got the wind knocked out of me for a few minutes.
If AEW was serious they would have copied the Nexus attack and beat Tony to near death with The Elite talking turns doing their finishers on him.
The whole sequence didn't make any sense because The Elite did a face move. The AEW fans hate Tony for firing CM Punk, so logically that makes him a heel. What The Elite basically did was SCSA move of hitting heel Vince with a Stunner. It doesn't work because The Bucks have Go Way Heat and can never be faces.
Anal Explosive Waste at it's finest!
Tony is a weak nerd caught by surprise why would he not get the winded taken out of him

@@drillosophy1012 pretty much.
He wouldn't be treated no different than Shinske, initially pushed & then forgotten about. He wouldn't ever hold one of the two top titles, most likely the IC or US would be his ceiling.
@@Yankeemuscle114 You're delusional is you think Okada's ceiling is the IC or US title
@RelaxingGhost in the WWE it is. Look at Nakamura, just as big a star as Okada & how far did he go? Sure, he won a Royal Rumble in 2018 but that's as close as he got to main even caliber. He's a two time IC champ & a two time US champ. I see the same for Okada if he had chosen WWE. WWE fans have never really taken to Japanese wrestlers, it's hard for them to get over in WWE. The females have had better luck than the male stars & even Asuka has had her troubles. Don't get me wrong, I love Asuka, Sane, & Skye. Also a big Shinske fan, but it seems like the Japanese stars have a hard time in the WWE. And I know they do well on NXT, I'm talking about the two major shows, Raw & Smackdown.
So they show footage of someone putting a coworker in a chokehold. That guy gets fired and the recipient of the chokehold gets suspended. The guy that comes off the suspension punches the owner in the company in the stomach on TV. The 2 EVP’s try to break the owners neck on TV. Was Tony in fear for his safety? Who is going to be suspended for this? LAME angle. No consistency.
