It's because Tony said he is better at this than Bischoff was and that he'll not make the same mistakes that made wcw go out of business. Bischoff is personally offended by that for good reason, since bad booking wasn't THE reason wcw failed, and Tony completely discounts that and blames it on Bischoff....

...while drawing emptier houses, lower ratings, and lower buyrate to even 2000 WCW.

Bischoff has been clear about this a couple times, including on Konnan's podcast a few times.

This. The “If Ted Turner knew half about wrestling that I knew” comment turned Bischoff off.

How did this feud even start? Was it just because Bischoff went on WWE tv after appearing Dynamite? Or was it due to something else?
Tony Khan has said that he respects Cornette's criticisms, but Tony legitimately hates Bischoff, who has been arguably kinder towards AEW than Cornette ever was.

I think Bischoff was expecting a job after his lone AEW appearance. After that, he's done nothing but bad mouth AEW and Tony. Something must've happened at that pandemic taping.

Turner getting into the "wrasslin" business honestly saved the business in general:

  • It gave wrestling fans an alternative from the Yawker content
  • It helped a failing NWA get a second chance to thrive
  • It legitimized the direction of wrestling on a "sports" like presentation (compared to WWF which was mostly going for the celeb/Hollywood approach)
The fact that the pencil neck geek said out of his mouth of how Turner did not know half about wrestling, while not minding being second fiddle to Big Bang Theory is honestly gross AF. This is coming from a 6:05pm mark :wow:

:wow: Looking forward to El Dandy vs Bret Hart in a random light tub death match because they don't trust each other and they are not friends.
I can't wait for Rampage for Lenny Lane to defend the International title...he's super good and popular because he GOES OUT THERE, EVERY NIGHT, DAY IN AND DAY OUT, AND GIVES IT HIS ALL FOR THE FANS, BECAUSE HE LOVES THIS BUSINESS :damn:

When Lodi suddenly turns on Lenny Lane because Lenny didn't say "God bless you" that time when Lodi sneezed in the third grade.

Khan legit thinks he's smarter than the people who ran WCW, especially Bischoff, and that offends him. And Khan continues to shyt on him in the public for really no reason. He refuses to take advice and booking guidance from wrestling OGs who are there according to a lot who were there and left.
If only he went to Eastern Michigan, only then would he know how to run a business. :mjcry:
