RIP.

He'll always be one of the most important people in wrestling history.

TBS and wrestling grew together in the 80's.

One of the cool things Turner did was start programming 5 minuts into the hour.

Wrestling was 6:05 on Saturday night.

He did this because he believed it was an advantage over other stations. Researched showed people got tired of a tv show after five minutes and would change the channel.

I agree. When Vinny Mac bought WCW,only the lower-tier top carders, mid carders and below appeared in WWF right away. They had WCW contracts. However, Hogan, Nash, Hall, Sting, Flair had Ted Turner contracts, which payed a lot more and they opted to sit out their high-paying contracts before showing up in WWF later on.
