Time: Friday 24 May. 12.30pm-2pm (8.30pm-10pm UK)

What Is It: Eric Bischoff's '83 Weeks' podcast with Conrad Thompson has developed into the gift that keeps on giving. It's a brilliant WCW counterpoint to Bruce Prichard's WWF/WWE memories on 'Something To Wrestle With', and it's essential listening for anyone who bemoans the promotion's 2001 demise.

That's not why Bischoff's show is on this list however. It's here because Guy Evans, author of the ultra-detailed 'Nitro' book, will be joining Eric, Conrad and others on stage for an in-depth expose on some of the read's juiciest revelations. This promises to be must-see for anyone who watched WCW's flagship or has ever wondered about Turner's business practices behind the scenes.

Kevin Sullivan, JJ Dillon and Kevin Nash will also be on hand. All three should have different views on what happened in WCW, and that could make the pod's biggest live show yet a sleeper hit over the weekend; for the record, Bisch has been less-than-complimentary about Dillon's role in WCW. Remember that when watching!
