All Elite Wrestling (AEW) opened its Wednesday (May 6) broadcast with a special tribute to Ted Turner, the media mogul who revolutionized cable television, who died on Wednesday at 87.

“Ted Turner believed in pro wrestling,” AEW commentator Tony Schiavone said at the top of the double Dynamite and Collision episode. “He believed in you, the fans, and he believed that pro wrestling belonged on national television.”
