Eric Bischoff Discusses Passing of Ted Turner, Compares Him to Elon Musk

WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss the recent passing of former WCW owner Ted Turner. Bischoff credited the current state of the industry to Turner.

Speaking on the iconic media mogul, Bischoff stated (via WrestlingInc.com), “None of this would’ve ever happened without Ted, but that’s just me. Think about how many thousands of other people’s lives were impacted in much the same way at Turner Broadcasting in general.”

Bischoff also compared Turner to Tesla founder Elon Musk. He continued on his former boss, “I mean, the man did so much for the city of Atlanta. He was just an amazing…he was the entrepreneur’s entrepreneur. He was amazing, especially in the media. There’s never going to be another one like him. He was the Elon Musk of media in his time. And just, I’m so grateful that I had a chance to work with him, just to say that I did.”

Ted Turner passed away this week at 87 years of age. Last night’s AEW Dynamite was dedicated to the TBS founder.
