yeaH right, wwe is worth 1.2 billion on the new york stock exchange.
tna is not even in wwe's neighborhood and has been hogan and bitchboy eric are not going to get them there because they are missing the most important ingredient from the 1990's wcw, billionare ted turner and his cable networks.
the only reason why wcw even was around in 1995 was because ted had a soft spot in his heart for rassling.
wcw never made a real profit before the late 1990's and then wcw fell apart due to egos; the aol/warner merger etc.

not a bad dividend... for all the whiners and complainers on this site, I'd like to personally thank you for my share of your money... $40 a PPV, 12 PPV's a year, an extra $10 for WrestleMania... Cena can make the entire roster tap out twice in one night, CM Punk twice, for all I care, you'll all keep paying me...

I was with you until the end when you made an idiotic comment about wrestling not being profitable until the late 90s. Unbelievable idiocy.
