FOR DIXIE AND THE CONF- ACK!
>>
Huh, I was just thinking about old Ted early today. Not even about wrestling, but tangentially related.

I was curious what would happen to CNN with Paramount buying Warner Bros-Discovery. The new owner, David Ellison, is an arch-Zionist and Trump fan who literally bought Paramount because 60 Minutes was mildly critical towards Israel.

And now one of the reasons Paramount will buy Warner Bros is to get control of CNN and make it more conservative. But I don't think that plan will work, Fox News is already pretty conservative and is the top viewed news channel on cable.

I think Ellison will straight up shut down CNN instead (Their views aren't that good), and write-off to get rid of some of that massive debt their taking on to buy WBD. Ted Turner once said CNN will last until the end of the world, but I was wondering if he might outlive it.

Turns out I was wrong. But I don't know how long CNN actually has.
>>
unironically what did he mean by this
>>
>Keeps wrestling on air despite everyone hating it because he liked watching Wrasslin' growing up
>Keeps the premier timeslot throughout its entire lifespan

Ted is more important than that fag, Vince. Vince was only able to negotiate his deals because Turner kept his TV on and he pointed at that to say "L-look at what they're doing in Atlanta, we can do the same!"

The moment Ted started winning Vince was crying like a bitch about how it's unfair that someone bought up the talent even though he did the same thing in the 80s.

>>20410830
Even this shows how much of a bitch Vince is. Ted is just telling him, "Hey isn't this cool we're in the wrestling business" and Vince immediately feels ego checked, because this is just a side project for Ted while it was Vince's whole life.

Ted succeeded at doing what Vince wanted, in that he had an entire life outside of wrestling and a media conglomerate and could call the shots on what ran and didn't. All Vince's outside attempts failed miserably and he's just known as the gay carny wrestling guy.

Ted won. Vince will die alone and miserable that he sold his family company for two months of power.
>>
>>20410859
Please go back to /pol/ nigga
>>
>>20410836
I'm amazed Vince has made it even this far. The guy juiced hard his whole entire life, was known for keeping a crazy schedule and sleeping only 2 or 3 hours at night, and took bumps in the ring that he really didn't need to. The guy really is a genetic anomaly.

His mom literally lived through the Great Depression as a poor girl though. So Vince can probably take a lot and still get to 90 at least.

So why would it be Ted who saved wrestling then? Do you think he wrote the show? He said "hey, let's turn Hogan heel!" The nWo was Bischoff's brainchild, idiots. Ted would've been content running babyface Hogan forever.

WCW wouldn't have existed at all without Turner, brainlet. There would be no NWO, no Hogan heel turn, no Monday night wars. Even if Ted was just the money man (which he was), that was a huge thing. And lit a fire under Vince's ass. Attitude era exists only because of Ted Turner too, while I'm listing things off.

ted turner won

Ted lived 100% rent-free in Vince's head throughout the 90s and the latter decided to broadcast that fact on television to make sure everybody knew it. He also died with his dignity intact, unlike the BBC-loving scat fetishist.

Wasn't the reason WCW got fucked over was when he merged Turner with AOL, and he lost pretty much most of his corporate power?

And everyone saw how much money WCW was losing, so they decided to sell it off.

>>20411052
Tuner lost his power and got coup'd out of his own company because the other executives didn't like him making vanity projects that worked. Really Turner has just been a influencial figure with no real power since the 00's.
>>
>>20411052
Yes. WCW was absolutely hemorrhaging money, and viewership had fallen off a cliff. So they sold the whole thing to Vince for basically pennies. But it was in the low millions, i think the reports at time said Vince paid like 2.5 Milly for the whole thing. Which is an insane fucking deal.

>>20410918
What was demonic about it? Wasn't it just about saving the environment and being kind to others?

>>20411073
>Vince paid like 2.5 Milly for the whole thing
no TV deal so it was just the video library and rejected alternatives for the 1999 logo rebrand
>>
>>20411077
It was about human sacrifice to nature. They literally aired a segment about how when you're old enough to have a family, you should only have one or two kids. The creator of the show had five kids, but he wanted to make sure his young viewers didn't reproduce too much.

Doesn't matter. They could have released best off VHS/ DVD material, and coasted off merch too for years and easily made that back and then some. Even long before streaming, practically every promotion knew the value of the tape library rights. Even for it's time it was a frankly insane deal in Vince's favour

There are more people eulogizing Ted Turner on /pw/ than anywhere else on the web right now
>>
>>20411361
he moved to Savannah GA when he was a little kid and grew up there
>>
>>20411379
/pw/ is made up of broad-minded scholars who can fairly judge a man's place in history.
>>
don't know how much Ted cared or did for wrestling
but 90s WCW was an amazing achievement
>>
reminder that ted turner watched AEW and in 2021 named tony khan/AEW the spiritual successors to WCW
>>
Ted Turner was such a woke piece of shit he actually made people stop calling weapons foreign objects because it might hurt foreigners feelings.
Fuck that bitch.
>>
Sticky when?
>>
>>20411362
I do sometimes think how Vince must feel, looking from the outside in on his own creation getting raped mercilessly for every cent it can be. It must incredibly depressing. His lifes work, now just a ghoulish facade of what it once was.
>>
Reading Ted's book as a wrestling fan is hilarious. So little about wrestling and even less about Vince, while Vince himself was absolutely OBSESSED with the Tedster
>>
>>20411396
>don't know how much Ted cared or did for wrestling
it's well known that WCW was only allowed to go on for as long as it did because Ted had a soft spot for wrasslan
though that said I feel like people try to make it sound too sentimental "oh he grew up on it," iirc it's mostly because stuff like JCP got him his best ratings early on when he started his television empire
>>
>>20410878
it's the other way around retard
>>
>>20410823
it was a mild form of alzheimers
>>
>>20411421
Ted's soft spot was more out of a loyalty for a show that did well propping up his fledgeling superstation than it was any actual enjoyment of the sport
>>
>>20410878
POV: you're living in the world Vince McMahon dreams about
>>
>>20411018
Project harder, you fat fuck. No 600k? No successful Hangma'am Page title reign?
>>
>>20411418
I think Vince or at least the company were aware of this because at some point after 1998, WCW is the one that tries to make references to WWF but the latter no-sells them.
>>
>>20411449
Still better than Christian
>>
Really makes Eric Bischoff look like a fucking geek bitch. Bischoff would try to get Vince's attention, but mostly never got it. Vince would try to get Ted's attention, which he never got. That puts Eric Bischoff at the bottom of the fucking totem pole lol
>>
TED: I'M IN THE WRASSLIN' BIZZNESS

VINCE: I SHIT ON WHORRRRRES
>>
>>20411369
possibilities aren't always truths but anyone who likes WWE right now is truly a fuckin nigger loving homo
>>
>>20410773
That's true. Ted will be remembered as a visionary that changed the entire television industry, while Lupton will go down as a head-shitting footnote.
>>
THANK YOU TED

I like Slaughter. The definition of "Good hand". I'm legit surprised he's an ex WWE champ 2bh. Very dependable in the Midcard but his main event run was a short lived fever dream. Always a good time when Sarge turns up

dude vanished to some ranch for 25 years after the merger
made it to 87 and was a billionaire

pretty much all true but kid me loved the WWF in 1992 and 1993. i know its cool for people to shit on those years now but i still love watching early to mid 90s WWF and WCW. probably my favorite era of wrestling

It was the root of much boomer seethe in the '80s because the only versions that were televised were the colorized ones. Ted bought his redemption arc though with TCM

Genuinely doesn't even cover it all. The structures that he established for American culture in the 80s/90s is so profound.
Ted's one of the dudes that is THE American to me. Makes his money, spends his money on a bunch of ventures that are somewhat successful or really impactful. One of the most clear-cut capitalists.
