>When Ted Turner called Vince McMahon to tell him that he was thinking about getting into the wrestling business like him, Vince said "Well, Ted, that's great, but I'm not in the wrestling business. I'm in the entertainment business."

Ted created a media empire from scratch that wrestling was a small part of, Vince McMahon is just the fake fighting guy. Hanna Barbara alone mogs WWE.

Not him, but he took his dad's billboard business and turned it into one of the media companies in history.

This is like saying Bezos didn't make Amazon from scratch because he had a loan from his parents

Reminder that the WWE lobbies strongly for Dunn to win an Emmy every year and apparently they’re quite irritated with how little respect the rest of TV gives them.

he didnt create shit. he took over, without any earned merit, what was an already successful company, with high paid successful veteran employees (that he didnt chose), and inherited unlimited sums of money that he could use to gamble on upstarts/emerging technology.

This 100% never happened and you know it, Vince never has a good comeback ready, he probably stuttered, seethed, said damn it and hung up.

When the "source" is Vince himself on his own documentary, that's all you need to know. They actually interviewed Ted for at least one of those docs but in his retelling of the story Vince's quip is mentioned nowhere lol

Ted Turner was actually fucking based. Vince was/is a complete loser in comparison, just like Tony is a loser in comparison to Vince.

Yeah, just like when Jericho told Meltzer to say he told MVP "I don't fight jobbers" when telling the story of his confrontation with him. It's a line they both thought of while seething after the fact.

While they lost a lot, It's possible Turner just did creative accounting on that and put losing departments/products on the WCW books to make other areas look good.
