Straight to the back dumpster of a Best Buy?

Well, there goes what was probably the one thing that was making WWE turn out a profit on this. Division'll be belly-up by 2012.

I can only imagine the line Vince says in 2013:
"I took a bath on that one."

So does mean the film division will now be a bunch of home movies in Vince's backyard?

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Is there a chance that this was a decision of Fox/Lionsgate, after what I presume would be lackluster sales of The Marine 2 starring the black hole of charisma that is Ted DiBiase Jr.?
EDIT: Quote from the article: WWE has made "a deal with Samuel Goldwyn Films to oversee theatrical releases, while Vivendi Entertainment will handle pics across various homevideo formats in North America."
It seems like they aren't so much going it alone as changing partners. Still seems like a step down, and one that was perhaps not their decision though it's being presented as such.

WBF...XFL... WWE Films!
On the next episode of Vince McMahon failing at all things not handed to him by his daddy..
Vince McMahon purchases the rights to NBA Jam. Things quickly fall apart when he learns that NBA Jam was not based off real life game play, and that Scotty Pippen will not be able to make 9 point 3/4ths of the court gravity defying somersault dunks. Also, Shane finds his old Super NES and enters in his Dad's NBA Jam - The League launch party's NBA Jam - The Game, to prove to his dad he's better than his sister.

Leaving 20th Century Fox: Good move.
Leaving Lionsgate: Dumb move.
Who would want to leave Lionsgate? They're a company that has a film named "Kick Ass" coming in April. How could you leave a company releasing a film like that?

I'll give them time to prove themselves, since most of their movies turned a profit on DVD. With that said, outlook looks grim.

One of the announcements in that article is that Randy Orton will be in a film called "Big Red" (shouldn't that be a Kane movie), which is about a 12 year old boy doing an English assignment with the school outcast. It's not been said who Orton plays.

I doubt getting into films was serious for Vince and more cause he was bored than anything. Putting wrestlers in films seemed kind of a give away.
I mean if he was serious there are so many local theatres and Indy films who would get down on there hands and knees and beg for some of Vinces dough for funding.
