How many ppl watch it these days??? I think those days are long gone!!! I HIGHLY doubt there will ever touch $20 again. unless by some odd chance they revive wrestling as a whole. But they need to start with their so called "superstars".
JMHO!

yeah, they mentioned tv and attendance were down but merchandise sales were up which helped their large net increase. so i guess as long as the tv and attendance don't get worse the stock should be ok. i think the annual yield is around 7% now. we'll see if they continue to pay at that rate in future quarters.
