Guest Staravenger Report post Posted July 12, 2004 How bout that BIG #2 promotion the WWA? They really fought McMahon back in 2002. Face it, right now no promotion can match WWE, even if the guy can buy everyone. Right now, the only people he can get are Indy workers that casual fans have no clue about, or people in their rocking chair like Randy Savage & Kevin Nash.

spman 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2004 Unless Turner is going to pile up on all the washed up has beens like Hall / Nash / Hogan / Savage / Piper, there's really not that much free talent out there to make up a roster for another American promotion. Just about everyone worth a damn is under the control of Vince Mcmahon, or TNA, or is a free agent making a killing by being booked in Japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kizzo 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2004 I know there are no free agents....that's why I'm suggesting he just buys TNA...if Panda Energy is interested... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 12, 2004 Ted Turner won't get anything going unless he can get Austin/Goldberg and Austin/Hogan. All that Means he can do is create a couple DREAM CARD ppvs involving the senior circuit and lesser known indys. He won't even have a network outlet, he doesn't control TNT and TBS anymore. Ted Turner didn't create WCW. He Brought WCW and let Eric Bischoff run it. Right now, Turner is just a money mark. However, he does have the best chance of making a good profit off a Austin/Hogan marketed PPV. I could see him nabbing Sting, Hogan, Goldberg, Nash, Hall, Austin, Page, Savage (if he doesn't get hogan), Piper... That's a decent line up of big names for a one night only deal but you can't run a company with that. Buying TNA is the best he can do and I can't see that happening or least Jarrett letting him because he knows that will bring in the senior curcuit and it'll end his dream.

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2004 One way the promotion could work with the indy guys and the legends. Have each of the legends be the 'mentor' for various guys. Face mentors, heel mentors. Somehow use the legends to get the new guys over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted July 12, 2004 Turner was never a wrestling promotor, the Billionare just wanted a wrestling fed like a money making toy. He'd leave the decisions up to former NWA run off management and how many people were in charge of the WCW from 90 to 96? a little under a half dozen? This would only be a good competition if he get a Wrestling promotor to take care of it, and then leave all the decisions to him. Problem is the Turner channels at least from what I understood always seem to cater to the older generation, so you probably just see more of the older wrestlers again in lead positions over any younger wrestlers.
