For having the business acumen to marry a guy who took his father's violent fantasy business and expanding it due to the advent of cable TV.
She does apparently run much of the company.
There are three industries that always are on the forefront of new communication technologies (from cave drawings to movesble type to illustration to radio/movies/TV) :
Religion
Porn
And wrestling (violence)

(64,425 posts)Not like they have a lot of interaction with OSHA given the assumed risk and personal life hardships of these folks.
So, what would she know about running a small business and navigating those waters.
Besides, i thought they were billionaires. How does being a billionaire qualify one as an expert on small business?
They had 13 people working for them 40 years ago. Not exactly the same waters then as now.

(24,461 posts)They haven't been a small business since the late 60s. In the 70s-80$, they were stealing AWA, NWA and regional talent while gobbling up territories.
At one point in the 2000s, prior to TNA, they were quite literally a MONOPOLY. They bought out their two biggest competitors (WCW and ECW) and squashed their talent.
Trump voters are dumbasses. I don't care who gets offended by that. They're fucking dumbasses. What the hell is the matter with them?
