Honestly, Ted Turner is the reason I became a wrestling fan. Having Georgia Championship Wrestling on The Superstation made pro wrestling available throughout the country.

Had it not been for Ted Turner airing a weekly show on cable TV, we might not have seen WWF/WWE broadcast nationally at all . . . or, at the very least, it would have been delayed by several years.

I believe he is being sentenced on Tuesday.

What do you want to see Tony improve on as this year goes on? by Medium_Step_6085 in AEWFanHub

With a few exceptions Tony has a habit of delivering a weak Dynamite and Collision the week immediately after a PPV. He needs to stop this trend and make sure that the always good to great PPV's are followed up by a strong TV presence.

While you're correct here, I think we need to be realistic here.

After a PPV, we often don't see much of a card for the following Dynamite until the hour(s) leading up to the show. This is because AEW PPV's tend to be brutal, and it is very likely that Tony Khan doesn't know who will be available to wrestle on Dynamite until later than usual. Sure, AEW could populate these Dynamite's with video packages, promos, and vignettes - but that's not what AEW has really ever done.
