Default Questions about the former WB network president?

1.) Can anyone identify who was that former WB network president ASAP?

2.) Why was that former WB network president considered bad?

1. Jamie Kellner
2. Cancelled a lot of shows simply because he didn't like them, sold WCW to WWF who shut it down because he didn't think wrestling could attract the "right" demographic, also his quote about DVRs

I thought that former WB network president had a negative personality on doing bad style of WB comedies.

Or maybe the reason why Jamie Kellner has a negative personality on producing a bad comedy style on himself?

Default 10 Non-Wrestlers Who Completely Changed Wrestling History

Quote:
Without question the most tragic casualty of the Monday Night Wars was WCW. Old school fans viewed the company as the lineage from the NWA and Jim Crockett Promotions and losing it was a rough hit, despite the fact the company went out with a whimper rather than a bang. There have been millions of words written about what caused WCW to finally perish – some of them accurate but most of them not – with blame being leveled at everyone from Kevin Nash to Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff.

The real culprit is someone far less familiar to fans; a man by the name of Jamie Kellner. After Time-Warner merged with AOL, Kellner was the man placed in charge of deciding the fate of WCW programming. Despite the fact the ratings had suffered a considerable decline, Nitro was still one of the highest rated shows on the network. However, Kellner concluded that wrestling didn’t appeal to a favorable demographic and would not attract the right kind of advertisers, therefore making the decision to axe the promotion from the lineup.

Eric Bischoff had assembled a group of financial backers to purchase the company, but because of the lack of TV, the company was close to worthless. This left Vince McMahon as the sole party with any real interest, giving birth to what essentially became a wrestling monopoly.
