In a multi-hour exclusive one-on-one "Torch Talk" interview with Eric Bischoff, PWTorch editor Wade Keller asks the one-time leader of the pro wrestling industry questions on a list of controversial subjects. Some of the many subjects covered:

-The handling of Bret Hart after signing him.

-Whether he felt betrayed by talent that sabotage WCW while earning high-six and seven figure contracts.

-Why he agreed to put the first Hulk Hogan vs. Goldberg match on Nitro with four days notice rather than build to it or sell it on PPV.

-How he feels about how WWE treated him as a character both on-air and behind the scenes in the early 2000s.

-What he learned from watching Vince McMahon operate first-hand behind the scenes, including what surprised him.

-Whether he thinks WWE badly botched a potential "WCW vs. WWE" war once Vince McMahon acquired the WCW name and library and some talent.

-Whether he'd handle the firing of Sean Waltman differently.

-What was right and what was wrong with the guaranteed contract policy in WCW.

-Thoughts on those speaking out about his reign in WCW including the "Rise & Fall of WCW" DVD just released.

-Insight into what he believes on the corporate side destroyed any chance he had to keep WCW alive and number one.

-Who does he call a "meat head"? Who does he call "a parasite"? Which top star does he call "milk toast then and he's milk toast now"?

-And much, much more.
