Eric Bischoff shares wild Dennis Rodman/Carmen Electra story, relives 1998 Bash at the Beach
Спорт
Picture this:
It’s the NBA Finals, and one of the star players of the Denver Nuggets or Miami Heat decides to pick up a side gig. Imagine one of those players, say Michael Porter Jr. or Bam Adebayo, flies to another city following a game so he can go work at his other job.
Can you imagine the outrage? The media coverage? The Twitter firestorm?
If you grew up watching basketball in the 1990s like Ariel Helwani did, of course you can. Because Dennis Rodman, the erratic Hall of Famer, did this exact thing in 1998 when he appeared live on WCW Nitro just after playing in Game 3 of the Finals!
And the guy who orchestrated this deal, Eric Bischoff, joins Ariel on today’s episode to talk about how he convinced larger-than-life basketball heroes Rodman and Karl Malone to enter the world of pro wrestling and a whole lot more, like:
What Dennis Rodman is actually like off camera
How Rodman helped take Bischoff’s wrestling promotion, WCW, to a new level in the late ‘90s
Partying with Rodman and Hulk Hogan … and how one late night out gave Bischoff a visual he’s never quite forgotten
Bischoff’s close relationship with the late Muhammad Ali and what he learned from the boxing legend

He’s told the full story on his podcast before. And when he told it that time he said it was Carmen and he said that Dennis was blowing her back out LOL
Wow the Ali story was chilling! Another 5 Star interview by Ariel
EB: "They call themselves journalists, but you know the deal." Ariel laughs nervously.
As always, great work Ariel. Love your interviews and love that you’ve been upping the activity on this channel. Keep it up!
This was great!
Rodzilla brother!!!
I just watched the Rodman vs Malone match on WCW and was really impressed with both but especially Karl Malone. He literally was the best wrestler in that match.
Great chat as always Helwani.
Love the way Eric said brain trust with such disdain. He’s such a good talker.
1995 and Dennis wasn't on the bulls? What? He was there for the second three peat and they speak about him in the documentary leaving the play-offs to go wrestle.
WCW
Isn't it hilarious how in wrestling and in MMA, they treat the journalists in both as "not quite journalists" or hacky, Bischoff and guys like Prichard put guys like Meltzer in quotes like they're not journalists just because they report on all the crazy shit they did that they're embarrassed about, and in MMA guys like Schaub and Dana White especially refer to Ariel in the exact same disrespectful way, just because he reports on the facts. It's crazy.
