The way Ted Turner used to be soo chill with the amount of money WCW was burning though was amazing and something your probably never going to see again in wrestling in terms of laid back owners.
Prior to the AOL merger, he used to get bugged from time to time about WCW not raking in the dough like his other businesses and being a money pit but he didn't really care since he was that passionate towards wrestling.
Also helped that he was several magnitudes more wealthier than Vince at the time so he could easily support a big money losing habit. Vince has yet to match what Turner was worth back in the 90s and only managed to match his current wealth recently. For some comparison, Tony Khan's father is even more wealthier and could easily buy out WWE in terms of net worth and still have several billions left over to run his other businesses.
