To be fair, AOL didn't go bankrupt because of wrestling. AOL was a much smaller company than Time-Waner. It is like a mom and pop grocery store buying out Wal-Mart, sure it could happen if you know how to juggle numbers around, have some decent stock, and a whole lot of luck, but after a while, there are too many things up in the air and it all comes crashing down. So the loss of WCW is not was bankrupted AOL.
