WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff was among those interviewed on the “Mr. McMahon” docuseries, and he spoke about a number of topics including how Ted Turner reacted to WWE’s infamous “Billionaire Ted” skits.
Bischoff said, “I kept gnawing at [Vince] and hitting him and doing everything I could to get him to react, and he did. They started doing the Billionaire Ted skits. That was the first real sell. I finally got him to react, which means he was off balance. When I first saw them, it’s like, ‘Let’s tape these things. I gotta run them up to Ted.’ We brought them up to Ted and he laughed his ass off. He thought they were funny as hell.”
