There's still Larry Zybysco if you guys consider him a a famous wrestler. I don't get it either.
It's not like Ted Turner wasn't a monopolizing asshole who fired his own son from Turner Broadcasting. It's not like Ted Turner wasn't responsible for the clusterfuck known as the 24-News cycle when he made CNN.
Do you know what the difference between Vince and Ted? Vince cared about his wrestling company because it was the only asset he had. When somebody signs with the WWE they are paid by Vince. When somebody signed with WCW they were paid by Ted Turner through Eric Bischoff/Turner Broadcasting/AOL or whatever.
Vince and Linda put every penny they had into the WWE and it turned out to be a winner for them. Ted Turner may have lost WCW and most of his empire but the man is still a damn billionaire. He could afford to fail but The McMahon's couldn't. Fritz Von Erich had the chance to capitalize on WCCW's national appeal before Vince did and take the company to a greater audience than ever before, but he didn't have the balls.
