The WWE has a lot of negative things coming up now that will really hurt their bottom line. A few wrestlers have died in the past year or so including this recent tragedy with Chris Benoit. It will really give a black eye to the company and most likely lead to pressure regarding steriod use. Even though the WWE says it is testing for steroids now the public will not believe that it is true. Second, the demand for such entertainment is a limited demographic which is now being split into other areas such as UFC and other shows revolved around fighting. Third, there is finally a rival again in the wrestling ring. TNA wrestling which is comprised of a lot of the former stars of WWE has started to gain fans and television ratings. As more and more wrestlers jump to TNA from the WWE TNA will keep gaining ground and the WWE will have to keep trying to find new talent. All of these factors together are a lot for Vince McMahon to overcome. Anyone who has paid attention to wrestling over the years knows that it's popularity goes in cycles and right now is a downturn for WWE.

ALTHOUGH TRUE THE CHRIS BENOIT INCIDENT HAS SLOWED THE GROWTH OF THE WWE MARGINALLY I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WILL HAVE MUCH EFFECT IN THE LONG RUN. STEROIDS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN THE WWE. AND IT HASN'T HURT BASEBALL IN THE LONG RUN. LOOK AT THE COMPANY NOT A FEW EMPLOYEES.
