2000 is when they lost a chunkload, and that's when Turner gave up on them, because of one very bad year.
I think it had more to do with Turner losing controlling interest as a result of the AOL/Time Warner merger, rather than Turner giving up on WCW.
For better or worse, if Ted Turner was still in the position to make the decisions at Time Warner, WCW would probably still be around... | TL_Hopper

I doubt it, because even though Turner might have had a soft spot for wrestling, I think even he would have realized after awhile that WCW was beyond saving.
