I'm genuinely pretty amazed at how fukking petty Vince was to spend more time on Billionaire Ted's War Room than anything else for the entirety of WM season in 1996 all for a pre-show comedy match burying the legacy of his own company to "get back" at Turner while simultaneously booking Jake Roberts, Roddy Piper, and the Ultimate Warrior on Wrestlemania.
Everything about it is pathetic.
First things first, it's painfully unfunny.
Secondly, it's some real "notice me, senpai" bullshyt that is VKM in TNA tier lame.
Thirdly, it gets more screen time than any build up for WM. I would say it actually by itself gets more screen time than almost all of the WM card build combined from January to WM. There were some shows that would have 10 minutes worth of these segments on a one hour show, for months.
Fourthly, burying the shyt out of Hogan and Savage, two of Vince's GOAT stars, does just as much to shyt on himself as it does them or WCW for having old dudes. It's especially dumb that as they're doing this, they're running hype videos for the return of Warrior, who at this point I'm pretty sure only was brought back into the fold because there was footage of him beating Hogan and Macho. He was in fact only a few years younger than those two, and actually Bret was older than Warrior.
Fifthly, it was actually political messaging trying to get the Turner/Time Warner merger put on hold or called off
