Eric Bischoff breaks down when, where, and how he met Jericho and brought him into WCW. Conrad takes him to task for the negotiation process that Jericho detailed in his book, the debut that Terry Taylor buried, the baby face kiss of death in August 96, a crazy tidbit about Jericho’s contract and who missed it, what title Jericho despised, Jericho considering a jump well before his contract was up, what changed for Jericho creatively, who was responsible for the heel turn, the incredible Malenko feud, unmasking Juvy, the Goldberg situation in great detail, who had Goldberg’s ear, the secret meeting with Vince, whether or not Jericho in the nWo was discussed, what Eric offered Chris to stay, and so much more that just can’t make the list! That’s right, over three hours of Jericho! Drink it in, maaaaaaan!

Jericho is my favorite of all time and I've always loved his WCW work. His podcast sent me here, and I loved hearing Eric's views on him
does Bischoff possess the ability to answer ANY question succinctly??? every answer is 20 minutes long!!!
2:44:00 Eric's explanation of why there was never a Goldberg/Jericho match is clearly not true. Goldberg had a legit match (one of his best) with DDP at Halloween Havoc right at this time. Goldberg could have a match by this point, he just didn't want to do it. It was a mistake by Eric and Goldberg that they won't own up to.
Eric always sounds like he's up in court.

Bischoff gets defensive when his slick guy facade is threatened by his lack of focused memory. Must have been all of those beers in the driveway.
