WWE Stock Slide, Talents Worried

[Troy]

The Associated Press has picked up on the stock drop that took place during after hour trading after World Wrestling Entertainment disclosed that they expected their stock earnings to be lower than analysts had predicted. You can read that piece by clicking here.

There are already mid-card performers for the company wondering if and when the firing ax will fall since WWE told all of those that were released in the last round that they were let go due to business being soft.

Not good news at all for a lot of midcarders and most of those involved with NXT. WWE normally have a release-a-thon around WM and this year it may be bigger than ever. I expect WWE to release at least ten names to streamline their roster and wrestlers that haven't been used frequently will most likely be released rather than being held on to like WWE have done in previous years.

Don't go into an election or spend a million bucks on getting people of Conetticut to Stand up for WWE and maybe they wouldn't have lost money this year. Derp.

Or. OR OR OR OR OR.....They can eliminate a few PPVs thus reducing costs for new sets and PPV production and I don't know.....make a show people want to see and actually promote a fucking PPV that isn't slapped together in two weeks.

Did they spend WWE money on the election or did they use the McMahon's own money to do the Stand-Up videos? If they used WWE then that was a stupid waste of money, they could have corrected the "facts" from the media on their website or through a press release.

Changing back to one PPV a month is something that should have happened a long time ago. Lowers costs and will probably result in higher buys because people have more time to save up and because the build would be better. They should also drop NXT as soon as they are legally allowed because that is a waste of money now that it is only shown in international markets.
