Former World Championship Wrestling (WCW) executive vice president Jim Herd has died at the age of 87. Herd, who served as WCW's first executive vice president, is perhaps best known for his controversial decision to fire wrestling legend Ric Flair in 1991.

Herd's tenure at WCW was marked by significant changes and controversy, and his legacy remains a topic of discussion among wrestling historians. This week's edition of Conrad's Corner reflects on Herd's complicated impact on the promotion.

Elsewhere in wrestling news, new details have emerged regarding WrestleMania 43 scheduled for Saudi Arabia, and UFC president Dana White has issued a legal threat over a Power Slap parody.
