Too many. Think of all the extra expenses of the talent involved. No company can take everyone. There's always a limit, due to many factors and sometimes the wrong people are let go.

Jesus. I thought they only bought ECW, WCW, never did i expect them to get FCW, and OVW. Not even Evolve.

Interesting read.

They don't own a lot of these promotions. They own a chunk of their video libraries. OVW still operates independent of WWE. it's owned by Al Snow, they're a trade school now that has state certification and holds classes on economics, personal fitness, and bunch of other things.

Still. That's a lot of libraries they can dive into.

In any case, thanks for the info.
