Jan 201:16:49Tap to summarizeOn this special episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson look back at some of Eric's most talked-about Top 5 lists, diving deep into the moments that defined — and sometimes derailed — WCW Monday Nitro.

The conversation then takes a sharp turn as Eric breaks down his Top 5 WCW Fails, revisiting the awful moments, terrible decisions, and embarrassing gimmicks that still make fans cringe. And finally, Eric lays out his Top 5 reasons why WCW Nitro simply looked better than WWE Raw during the height of the Monday Night War. Love it or hate it, this episode is classic 83 Weeks — honest, opinionated, and guaranteed to spark debate.
