I'm curious if the stock drops again and they don't have significant gains in subscriptions since their last announcement if they'll decide to start charging somehow(if it's possible) for the PPVs on the Network after the first year. I've noticed when JBL talks about getting the PPVs with The Network, they're pretty careful to say "For the rest of the year" or something similar.
Also, I'd assume they'll start to weigh the pros and cons of having some ads

The first thing I want to be done, is to get that piece of crap out of my portfolio. Don't just get it out of the portfolio, get it out of the NYSE because I've proved son, without a shadow of a doubt, you ain't got what it takes anymore! You sit there and you thump your assets, and you say your year end projections, and it didn’t get you anywhere. Talk about your splits, talk about your S&P 500s… Austin 3:16 says I just downgraded your stock expectations |

Also, I'd assume they'll start to weigh the pros and cons of having some ads I figured they had already done the research on that and were just waiting on someone to buy them. Hell they already run commercials on the PPV as well as have product placement so throwing something in on say NXT or Main Event (which already have the spots for the breaks in them) would be easy. Anyway on the current news: Vince: Our Network subs are currently at 600k and is steady which we expected in this quarter though with Summerslam in the next we expected to add. *Stock drops to $5.34* Vince: I do have a major announcement... *Stock shoots to $20.00* Vince: We have just closed purchase on the assets of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and will be bringing their tape library to WWE Network soon as well as a deal to bring some of their great talent to WWE. *Stock plummets to $.90* Vince: No, Vince Russo is not included in this purchase. *Stock shoots back to the $12 range* |

If it's low, I can imagine Vince having a meltdown, like Gordon Gekko when he realised he had been screwed by that airliner.

We should at least start looking at the bright side of this, which is hey, if you ever wanted to invest cheaply in a company known to rebound big from disgrace.....

Only one thing can save WWE's stock price now: If they can just get that orange spray tan crop report! {Spoiler}It all seems to be going swimmingly for WWE until a sudden crash in the share prices. They look across the stock trading floor to see these two men...  |

Being the financial expert that I am (by which I mean, I have no financial expertise whatsoever), I doubt the price will change dramatically. Here's the stock price since WWE went public in 1999:  Where it is now, is about its long-term average. The only reason it fell so precipitously last time was because it was so inflated due to Vince talking up network subscribers and the TV deal (the second half of that plunge only came when the TV deal was announced - over a month after the initial network subscription numbers were announced. That low point this year was the week the TV deal was announced). So, basically, assuming that the network has even just modest growth (say, increasing subscriber counts from the 667k announced the day after Mania to ~800k now), I doubt there will be a big drop (as in, I seriously doubt it's dropping below $10). If the network numbers are really bad (say, staying below 700k), which would seem to suggest that the network would be unsustainable (if 4 months after the initial numbers there is little growth, there may not be much more growth to expect, at least domestically), then the stock should see a significant tumble. But, again, I'm basically talking out of my ass, so I could be wrong. For all I know, a disappointing, if still ok number, could cause people to flee and make the stock go down further. But I would guess against it. Pardon my ignorance, but what caused that spike in early 2014? What that the announcement of the network? |

9.99, you can also get the WWE Network for $9.99 a month and get all your favorite PPVs along with hours of WWE content!

There were rumors that some super investor was going to the buy the WWE so the stocks went waaaaay up. Then Vince (sort of) lied and made the investors think the new TV deal was going to be worth a lot more then it really was. Then it became apparent they weren't getting bought out, that the new TV deal wasn't as good, and then finally the WWE network subscription numbers being lowered then predicted, the stock tanked. |

With the news of TNA losing their TV (and possibly kicking the bucket) and ROH going on sale, it will be interesting how stock prices go TODAY. Will investor see this all as a proof that the wrestling business itself is doing REAL badly and lose confidence in the industry leader?

I think what we really need to be guessing is how long Vince will be in the hospital after the stock price drops.

I really, really like the idea of their stock falling to $9.99 and then trying to include the Network in with everyone who buys a share.
"That's right. It's like two shares, but it's actually one share and THE NETWORK!...Why? Just...please?"
