Welcome to Strictly Business episode #005! In this episode, we're joined by Mike Johnson and Dave Scherer from PWInsider. We introduce Mike and Dave and discuss why we've brought them on the show. Dave talks about founding 1Wrestling with Bob Ryder, and Mike discusses how difficult it is to confirm a story in the world of pro wrestling. Mike also shares his process for finding and reporting on stories, including the infamous CM Punk brawl and the breaking of the Brock Lesnar/NFL story. We also discuss the role of PR in pro wrestling media, and whether it's harder to make money now covering wrestling on the internet. Dave shares his humble beginnings in the industry, and Mike discusses how he met Dave and got hired by PWInsider. We also delve into the role of wrestling media in the industry and discuss the Nitro and Attitude Eras. Thanks for tuning in, and we hope you enjoy the episode!ROCKET MONEYJIMMY'S FAMOUS SEAFOOD Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

83 Weeks is back with Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson where our main topic is the end of Eric's tenure at TNA and the controversial decisions that led to his departure from the company. Bischoff opens up about the behind-the-scenes drama and shares his thoughts on what could have been done differently. In this candid conversation, Bischoff and Thompson also discuss Bischoff's Twitter feud with Ric Flair, IF the Four Horsemen ever drew any money, Barry Windham's GoFundMe, the Claire Lynch angle, TNA's missed payments to wrestlers, and whether AEW is a "vanity project".
