trying to copy WWF programming but his older wrestlers stating they are unable to do the more athletic moves or use original promotional tactics. McMahon made the point that the WWF promoted it as satire to protect them from any possible defamation lawsuits. Some of the skits also include allusions to WCW's in-house drug testing compared with the WWF's independent drug testing program. The WCW vice-president Eric Bischoff, who had previously called the WWF to express his support for the skits, wrote a letter (which McMahon then broadcast) defending WCW and stating they were looking into a lawsuit about the skits. In response, WCW, which had usually made comments about the WWF on their programming, limited their remarks on television as a result of the steroids skit and temporarily dropped their "Where the Big Boys Play" tagline to avoid implications that it equated to steroids. A later sketch featured Billionaire Ted wanting to buy some WWF New Generation wrestlers to which a WWF voiceover says, "It's not for sale!", in reference to Turner buying older assets and repackaging them. Cancellation Though the Billionaire Ted skits were initially popular, McMahon started moving WWF employees from other writing tasks to work on them. McMahon also ordered the WWF's lawyers to send a dossier to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) stating the proposed merger between Turner Broadcasting System and Time Warner was an attempt to drive the WWF out of business, which he also supplemented by taking out adverts in newspapers and financial magazines alleging Turner was using stockholder money to fund a "personal vendetta" against the WWF. Though most newspapers refused to print them on the grounds that the papers felt they were defamatory, The New York Times published an edited version which was broadcast on television. The skits eventually started moving away from WCW references and focused on targeting Turner. One of the skits had Billionaire Ted on a mock television trivia game show identifying quotes involving racial and sexual language from Turner. Another had Billionaire Ted on a parody of Larry King Live refusing to answer why The Huckster's salary was drawn from other more profitable Turner businesses opposed to from the loss-making WCW. This was something WCW had been doing with Hogan in reality by drawing his salary from Turner Home Entertainment instead of WCW on the grounds of Hogan's movie work. The final skit on the USA Network
