What happened: On Ariel Helwani's show, former WCW president Eric Bischoff reflected on the legacy of Ted Turner following the media mogul's death at 87. Bischoff said Turner "changed my life, he changed the lives of my children" and credited him with reshaping the wrestling business. The remarks came as Bischoff appeared as the first guest of the day on Helwani's program.

Why it matters: Turner's ownership of WCW in the 1990s turned professional wrestling into a cable television phenomenon and forced the industry's modern competitive era. Bischoff, the executive Turner empowered to run WCW, is one of the few living figures who can speak directly to that hands-off backing. The tribute lands as the wrestling world processes the loss of the former Braves and Hawks owner whose media empire bankrolled WCW's rise.

What to watch: Helwani's Wednesday show continues live with Bischoff, Johnny Eblen and Paulie Malignaggi on the lineup. Watch for additional WCW-era figures to weigh in on Turner's legacy in the coming days.
