On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson pull back the curtain on some of wrestling's hottest business topics and biggest misconceptions. Eric explains why he believes Ted Turner is one of the biggest reasons WWE is still thriving today, and how the Monday Night Wars forever changed the industry. He also dives into the reality of talent contracts, discussing why a WWE deal never guaranteed The New Day lifetime job security and why, sometimes, audiences simply move on from an act. The guys welcome gimmick attorney, Michael Dockins to the show. Mike breaks down the often misunderstood 90-day non-compete clause, revealing how it actually works behind the scenes, while Mike and Eric analyzes the new "delightfully vague" language appearing in modern talent agreements. Plus, Bischoff gives his take on the myth of "no-cut contracts" and why guaranteed deals aren't always what fans think they are. Business takes center stage as Eric praises TKO Group Holdings's partnership with <a class="decorated-link" href= "https://www.espn.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel= "noopener" data-start="1072" data-end="1123">ESPN</a>, calling it a brilliant marketing move for the future of wrestling media. He also reflects on the financial disasters of World Championship Wrestling house shows, revealing just how much money the company burned during its peak years. And in one of the wildest conversations yet, Eric explores how OpenAI and artificial intelligence could help shape future wrestling storylines before 83 Weeks actually uses ChatGPT to fantasy book the main event of SummerSlam!
