Buying and building Mid-South Wrestling. Making stars like Ted Dibase, Junk Yard Dog, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Ernie Ladd & Jake the Snake. Trying to build UHF but blames its failure on the oil economy but was shrewd enough to sell it to Crockett. Went on to try and save WCW but lasted only months in the corporate world. Desperately tries to exnorerate and justify the facts that he believes in Jim Crow Laws and pissed off Hank Aaron. Doesn't have enough brains to realize that ted Turner who owns TBS station and WCW wrestling also owned the Braves who Aaron played for while breaking Babe Ruths record. Never Mentions how he Backed down to Scott Steiner calling him down to center stage to kick his ass. Constantly puts himself over as a genius and a tough guy. Full of excuses.
