WWF got a 10-15% cut of that $$ Vince?s stock is up to 750 million dollars The WWF ran 52 shows in the last quarter avg 5200 attendance, the qtr prior avg was 4300 attendance There is no new SD! TV deal yet, and Rupert Murdoch is talking about starting a 6th network, so SD! May become a hot property The critically panned and rather tasteless ?Viva La Savings? promotion in December featuring the late Eddy G, ended up setting an online record for sales by the WWE ? 7,400 orders ? $600,000 Foley may write a WWE Novel with wrestlers as characters. WWE 24/7 is a modest disappointment internally with only 38,000 subscribers at 7 bucks a month. Clearance deals are being discussed with Time Warner which would be a break through. Most of the guys on the Legends PPV fought with their shirts on Snuka didn?t do the Super fly splash because of recent abdominal surgery Jake Roberts looked way skinny compared to recent appearances, but was horrid thanks to a hip replacement surgery that demobilized him TNA trademarked the X as a marketing tool, so now they can be the only promotion with an X-Division Marty Jennedy is under house arrest until June 2007 This was Marty?s 8th WWE firing Jim Ross is working on a franchise restaurant project WWE got in trouble in Israel for selling trading card packs that had Diva pictures in them, which are far too risqu? for the culture Dave vouches for Foley?s case in the ?Foley vs Filipino press? story that broke this week Maturity in the WWE Locker room: The Dicks Chad Wicks was being ribbed non stop by JBL and others, and he was called for a ?pre trial? meeting by Taker, Beniot, Kash and JBL. Wicks got so scared he snuck out of the bathroom and accidentally locked the rest in. Orlando Jordon freed them and Wicks was scared of what they would do. They laughed it off and absolved him of whatever prompted the ribbings to start with. Chad panicked and cried to Tank Tolland (Dick 2) and when the ribbers saw that they harassed Wicks even more.

JBL seems like one conflicted fellow considering he apparently missed the irony of his proclamation much like when he tried to summarise rappers careers.
March 12, 200619 yr comment_4638186 It's funny WWE 24/7 is considered a disappointment when it doesn't seem to be available to anyone on a major cable system. I know I'd get it if it was offered, and it's not.
March 13, 200619 yr comment_4639428 It's not that they don't have clearances on cable systems, it's that they don't have it across the provider's entire system. Cox, for example, has clearances for 24/7 in many locations, including New Orleans, but not in Baton Rouge, where I am.
March 13, 200619 yr comment_4639459 They don't have it on the largest cable company in the US (Comcast) at all.
March 13, 200619 yr comment_4639602 Also, in Canada, it's on the Rogers system, but not the Rogers cable pack, just their digital cable system, which a) everyone does not have and everyone doesn't have access to, such as many rural areas.
