  1. The Legacy of Ted Turner, TBS and Wrasslin'

    The Legacy of Ted Turner, TBS and Wrasslin'

    Special Note The original video broadcast of this program can be found on the fantastic Wrestling With The 80's channel which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4sdYyFWTXc&t=8448s I would also encourage you to subscribe to Ted's Takes On Wrestling, which you can find here: www.youtube.com/@TedsTakesWrestling Ted Turner, the swashbuckling billionaire owner of TBS, CNN and the Atlanta Braves had an incredible impact on the world of professional wrestling as well! Wrestling fans of the 80's remember making 6:05PM on the SuperStation appointment television as they watched their favourite grapplers battle it out first in Georgia Championship Wrestling then later on Jim Crockett Promotions World Championship Wrestling. In the 90's, after Turner's purchase of JCP, viewers were treated to one of the greatest eras to be a wrestling fan as the Monday Night War heated up thanks to WCW's groundbreaking Monday Nitro! But sadly, all good things must come to an end as the world of corporate mergers led to a power struggle and eventual ousting of Turner from the empire he created, the destruction of WCW and the end of wrestling on Turner Broadcasting. Tonight I am joined by Andy the Taxman from @GrapplingWithCanada and Ted Hill from @TedsTakesWrestling to discuss the legacy of Ted Turner and his indelible mark on professional wrestling! We're also going to be giving our thoughts and reactions to the epic four part Netflix documentary on Hulk Hogan. The good, the bad, the untrue and the unbelievable. Hogan left a legacy that can't be denied and even in death he is creating a stir in mainstream media. Please be sure to like, subscribe, rate and review! (Hopefully 5 Stars!!)
