83 Weeks #31: AWA

On this week's 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson, Eric delves deep into his entrance into the pro wrestling business, with Verne Gagne's AWA! Eric talks about his earliest introduction to the Gagne family and the AWA, the investment and promotional opportunity that led him to calling Verne on the phone, the day he was caught by surprise and asked to act as the backstage interviewer, promoting AWA shows, working with AWA talents like Greg Gagne, The Midnight Rockers, Curt Hennig, Larry Zbyszko, Scott Hall, and more, plus the guys cover the newest WWE Network Hidden Gem sensation, The AWA Team Challenge Series pilot!

Since 1984 every wrestling promoter has tried to best Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation unsuccessfully… except one, Eric Bischoff. Eric beat Vince McMahon’s Monday Night RAW head-to-head in Monday Night Wars 83 consecutive times. 83 Weeks will take a deep dive into the highs and lows of Eric Bischoff’s unparalleled successes in the wrestling business.
