This is weird, @MellaFanWally.
 
Damn Wally.. You get to watch from the sidelines, not get on the field and ask questions like a reporter.

One brother got all his fathers love and guidance and now hes the biggest star in the history of pro wrestling and promoting shows that dwarf WWE's numbers with a wife so beautiful she could get kingdoms named after her
The other brother never saw his father at all and now hes a tranny with an ex wife thats getting gangbanged by New Jack while he gets jr deputy badges at the local Barney Fife convention
Something to think about for all you expectant fathers out there
 
WWE reported record revenue for the second quarter of 2018 — and the report gave further insight into how much the company was paid for Greatest Royal Rumble.


One key area of growth that sticks out is the media segment, which was up significantly compared to live events and consumer products.
While a number of areas in the media segment showed a revenue increase, the “other” category sticks out the most due to bringing in 5-times the amount of money it did in the same quarter of 2017.

So how do you go from $12 million earned in three months of 2017 to $61 million in 2018? The company points to “the distribution of certain programming content in international markets.”

Yes, that would largely be the Greatest Royal Rumble.

During the question and answer portion of today’s earning call, WWE noted it couldn’t reveal the exact amount due to confidentially clauses. However, it wouldn’t be far off to estimate the WWE was paid $40 million or more to host the event.

Just for comparison, the company announced WrestleMania 34 earned $14.1 million.
The approximate price tag of $40 million for Greatest Royal Rumble would ultimately result in the bulk of the $56 million dollar increase in year-to-year revenue ($214m to $281m).

Other areas of note:

  • Operating income nearly doubled to $21.2 million from $10.7 million in the prior year quarter
  • WWE Network average paid subscriber increased 10% to 1.80 million paid subscribers, consistent with the company’s guidance
  • Live event earnings were down slightly in North America and up internationally.

In Vince and the boards eyes:

Nothing is wrong with our product, tell creative to keep pushing Roman, write storylines at a 6 year old level, and bury the fan favorites.
 
there isn’t any incentive to change the product until FOX Smackdown. They can just coast for a year.

Fans who hate the "current product" have been played like fiddles for as long as newsletters have been out. They will always watch so they can give their opinion on it for free, while others profit off them.

And the biggest company in the world has been reaping the benefits from it. Attendance in the states might be down, but that's what overseas tours are for.
 
WWE could make all Raw tickets free and they’d still be rolling in the money.

But The point is it works. Control everything, no controversial characters or risk of someone saying or doing something bad. Just keep everything we plain as white bread and collect checks.
