You gotta wonder if this company can keep finding ways of making big money in spite of every traditional wrestling metric (attendance, merchandise, ratings) getting worse each year, and getting rid of their former core business (PPV) because they saw the writing on the wall.
After so many years of slow and steady declines - or ups and downs, specially with attendance -, they've reached a point were there's very little margin and continue to go down can't be excused or replaced anymore.
Vince took more than a decade creating a system that was able to get huge profits no matter how bad (or good) traditional/core metrics were at the moment. Are we close to reaching a point were that will stop being the case?I honestly have no clue, but these last 6 months have been unusually bad for them, no spark or anything to hold on to whatsoever.
Breh its obvious that there's somewhat of a pipeline that is unknown in the light to keep the business a float. Beyond the Fox deal and the Saudi money, they seriously should be down under by now
. I'\m severely calling bullshyt on the E's "success" when they're doing Le Femme Nikita after Walker Texas Ranger ratings and there's more empty seats than a church on Thursday.

From what I've heard Pollock and Ting discuss - they get paid TV money quarterly, so t the very least they can always report positive earnings. Its a carny way to cook the books basically.
For all these years I assumed the masks were to hide their faces. They were really to cover their eyes so they couldn't watch

I think they’re fukked at this point
Especially with the rise of AEW , everyone thinks WWE is corny now , I can’t even watch the YouTube highlights around my giffiend because she gets annoyed because how corny it comes off

Vince: "One second pal, I'm on the phone with Sheik Albazhulahal. Sheiky baby what's up? Oh you want Undertaker and....Hogan? For how much?! You got it, pal! Hahahaaaaaaa"
Yeah they’re never going to get another billion dollar tv deal at this rate. Vince is gonna ride this out on dictator shows who want to see dudes from the 90s until these old fukkers literally die in the ring. Once that’s washed up he’s done.
It’s very telling that the biggest money they’re getting at this point aren’t requesting anyone who debuted beyond like 2006.

They are getting $10 a month, every month from however many people have the network (last press release I could find was 1.95 million in 2017 WWE Network Subscriber Count Reaches All-Time High After WrestleMania 33)
If that's still the case, they are making damn near $20 million a month on just the network
Add in the advertisements from the youtube videos that get hundreds of thousands of views
TV contracts
TV advertisements
Merch
The addition of 2 saudi shows a year (rumored in the tens of millions of dollars offered each show)
etc. etc.
So they don't sell out San Jose... ok
They continue to do record revenue each year. They have it figured out. And before someone says I'm "defending" WWE (because the product is definitely pretty bad these days 
) I think we should all really think about our actual knowledge. I, and 99.9% of people on earth, could never claim to know more about running a hundreds of million dollar company than those at WWE. For good or bad of the consumer, they seem to be doing well enough to operate. I don't think the bubble is anywhere close to being burst.

NWG can celebrate, but if WWE's dying at this point then the whole business is. AEW having 3 or 4 big shows a year packed with traveling huge wrestling fans probably won't translate to a weekly show with good attendance.
