If only Bischoff was able to buy it with the TV slot

I was just thinking about how they should've at least kept the two slots on TBS. Vince or Eric could've made something out of those 3 hours.

So much thinking about this

This is the dikkhead who ruined pro wrestling.
Even in it's sorriest state, WCW still delivered higher ratings for TNT and TBS than anything else they aired at the time and if they were still going to be guaranteed a time slot on at least one of those two channels then the sale to Bischoff and his partners could have gone through. But Kellner didn't want the pro wrestling viewer demographic when he took over Turner's TV side and just outright cancelled it.
Dude also was the genius who cancelled the Superman and Batman animated series, Pinky & The Brain, Freakazoid and a bunch of other cool cartoons.

The Southern Style of wrestling and talking provided balance to the Northeast scene. And if I can be real with ya'll for a moment, WCW's death was a sign that I wasn't a kid anymore.

When you become an adult, you realize the ugly truth that things that you love die. Not from dramatic things like shootings or cancer...but they die because we don't take care of them.

By that point, WCW was trash, but you always expected it to provide something better in the future. Real sad day, then and now.

I miss it. The business misses it. Even if the product was on the down slope towards the end(I still am at some of the stuff I've seen to forgotten)I wish WCW would have stuck around

Clearly that fukk boy is an opponent of fun

The fact that he destroyed WCW then left two years later is even worse

Everything changed two weeks ago when Jamie Kellner, the chief executive of WB network, became the head of TBS, executives at AOL Time Warner said.

The executives said Mr. Kellner, in consultation with the president of Turner Entertainment, Brad Siegel, had decided that wrestling should be canceled sooner rather than later.

It was the first programming move made under Mr. Kellner's leadership and is an indication that he wants to attract more affluent viewers to TNT and TBS.

A TBS spokesman, Jim Weiss, said: ''Basically we've decided that professional wrestling, in its current incarnation, is not consistent with the upscale brands we've built at TNT and TBS. Therefore, we will not be carrying it.''

Ol holier than thou ass fun killers

Nothing was wrong with wrassling and movies for guys who like movies
