WrestleMania generated 2.2 billion social media impressions There's lies, damn lies, & statistics. No idea what this is even doing on an investors call, it's not a revenue stream.

They fan proofed their business, that a long with being the only game in town so long means no matter how bad the show is they'll always have a base. You basically have a company that could air 3 hours of a monkey throwing shit into a basket and they'd sell 40k to their stadium show that month.

A lot of those notes kinda indicate that fan interest isn't dying but ok.

A lot of those notes kinda indicate that fan interest isn't dying but ok. It's the investor call that involves Wrestlemania, the time of year where people who haven't watched all year will check out a show... Between all their TV contracts(Fox, USA, and A&E) and with their streaming deal with Peacock instead of just doing the hard sell for viewers to get the network all their money is accounted for. As well as the Saudi shows. Realistically, when doing their quarterly calls as long as they can mention that they are getting new deals done and are running big shows(which is why they're doing so many stadiums shows this year) their investors will be content.

Big deal. Yesterday, what I thought was a $5 bill in my pocket, was actually a $10 bill. In the span of a few seconds, I increased my net worth by 10%.

The Social media metric is such a weird inclusion. I should be paying for wm but watch via twitter GIFs and they somehow manage to spin that lost revenue as a positive.
So conflicted, I probably indirectly have shares in them via a Vanguard fund. Yay!? They did well through scummmy means, boo!

I wonder what is considered a "View" on Peacock. I remember a few years ago, the NFL had a morning game streaming on Yahoo and they claimed some huge amount of viewers, but it's because everyone who went to yahoo.com for more than 15 seconds that morning was counted as a "viewer".
Someone spending $50 to buy a PPV 15 years ago is not exactly the same as someone accidently clicking on the WrestleMania home banner when browsing through Peacock.

They're selling "eyes on the product" They literally pointed out that they got more viewers than the SB in India when that is the only country on the planet that happened in.

The RPG should be something similar to Persona 4. An NXT student by day, investigating the latest murder and/or kidnapping in the car park by night.
Mixed with Danganronpa. The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History. December to Dismember.

I can't believe WWE put their weirdo horseshit "we got more social media impressions than the Superbowl" stat into their investor call but also I 1000% believe it.
