from what I understandm they didn't invest a great deal in it and they did earn back their investment on it. it just never picked up, largely because of Vine.

I'll be over here, waiting for the 'social media' bubble... to at least get smaller?
WWE is better off without pushing it. It's not as annoying as it was when RAW first went to 3 hours.

Well, I am certainly hoping WWE does not remember it.
Those fan Touts were absolutely embarrassing.

In their defense, they were right to think that very short videos that you could share would be a successful idea, but they backed the wrong horse. Vine, Instagram video, Snapchat, etc are all doing great.

When Tout didn't allow nude or pornographic material, their fate was sealed. But WWE got their money back so no harm, no foul.

I will never understand this mentality of criticizing vince for trying new ventures. As a businessman, he always try to take risks, sometimes they will pay off (going national) others not (XFL) and others will be irrelevant (Tout)
At least I admire and applaud when Vince tries to do that, in the end is his money so if he goes broke, I really couldn't care less

Yeah, someone here posted a story many months ago a story detailing WWE/Tout - they bought into the company (which wasn't even that much money, compared to what you might think) and made their investment back - and a BIG TIME profit - within weeks.

I was watching a Summerslam 2012 DVD I checked out from the library. When I saw the Prime Time Players touting, I remember thinking "Oh yeah, Tout was supposed to be a thing".
