Just for your own reference, here's your original claim:

When talking about shows, clearly I was referring to similar shows, which are episodic in nature. You could say there are a bunch of soaps that have been around way longer than RAW or SDL, but they are not in prime time, so not really a fair comparison. I'm sure there are some news or sports programs that have been on for decades, but those are not episodic, so completely different beast. I would the closest show to Vince's success with RAW and SDL is The Simpsons. I would also throw SNL in there, even though it's not episodic, they still have to create new characters every week. Of course SNL is not in prime time and has very little competition in its timeslot.
Regardless of your blind hatred for Vince, anyone with a brain can recognize he's in elite company when it comes to success creating TV content.
As for sports entertainment vs pro wrestling that's really semantics from Vince, he wanted to rebrand his industry to differentiate himself from his competition and make them seem inferior. Regardless, it's all one industry, and Vince has ruled it pretty much from day one.
