World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (WWE)

UFC and mma is the death of professional wrestling.

Guest hosts on RAW have introduced new audiences to the wrestling world.

Hahaha I didn't know WWE was publicly traded!!! Hilarious!!! Maybe I am out of touch - wrestling was REALLY cool when I was a kid - we were a much more naive generation and believed it was real - I'm not so sure kids these days buy it - not when they can watch the real think in UFC/MMA.

There are a lot of rednecks out there - the only question is, can they alone keep NASCAR AND WWE profitable???

I think not.

RED THUMB!

UFC has for a long time been increasing in popularity and continues to do all the right things to grow in fan base and support. I don't see that trend changing anytime and that makes it very difficult for WWE to grow.

Professional wrestling is dead. MMA is alive.

MMA (specifically UFC), a far more interesting (and realistic) entertainment venue will slowly strangle WWE profits to a long overdue demise. It will go the way of WCW.

I picked this stock due to Dividends Paid. But at 2nd glance, I see that TMF has WWE Dividend Paid as approx. 11%. Other Brokers have it at 6.7%. Which is it as of 8-17-09 ?

I like the smackdown and I smell what the dividend is cooking.

WWE will kick the market

The Morality Play is not gone from the world – it has just moved into the wrestling ring. World Wrestling Entertainment understands good people will pay good money to watch the battle between Good and Evil, and have made that battle the basis of their business plan. It’s a profitable plan for WWE, and is currently paying a dividend yield of over 10% to stockholders. My plan is to turn on to WWE, and profit from the experience.

Aging stars are aging, having to bring in 60 year old rick flair for a program while shawn michaels, HHH, and undertaker recover from injuries. New stars do not seem to shine and are not given the chance to shine. Randy orton is the only identifyable semi-star to the casual wrestling fan. Also the way everything is choreographed (judging from a recently leaked monday night raw script) stars do not have the opportunity to act out their true personalities as wrestlers have to say everything in their script to a tee (can you imagine if stone cold steve austin or other stars in the past who made the wwe what is it today had to operate this way??) The only thing the wwe has going for them is the younger audience who is to nieve to truely understand the wrestling businessa and will tune in reguardless of the quality of wrestling or storyline. Also TNA is starting to grab market share from these guys. If TNA gets its act together we could see another WCW type rise which is probably what the WWE needs at this point to spark a new found competitive sense in McMahon

A fool and his money are soon thrown to the mat and kicked in the face. I'd watch that.

well one they're dividend and standing by the market even during tough time their stock price has held up well considering all the job losses and cuts and their forced cuts were not as high in job catergory loss due to the fact they wanted to keep on growing growth going. so it is somthing to looking in.

6 reasons I took a real position in this company last month.
1. Excellent Dividend with the cash to pay
2. Recession means people will stay home more which = Higher ratings on cable programming.
3. PPV sales may suffer due to a decline in consumer spending but the company is cutting costs to offset lower sales.
4. World wide company, not isolated ti the US.
5. Potential as a growth stock? At $9.33 (where I bought) and even at the current price of $10.38, I believe this could double over the next 1-2 years. By adding to it's fan base during this recession, WWE is essentially punching a ticket for increased sales of toys, video games, PPV events and other fan merchandise when people decide it's ok to spend money again.
6. Last but not least, when is the last time you turned on an episode of Raw or Smackdown and seen an empty arena? Answer: you haven't. Even during the economic downturn they are selling out most of their events because their fans are loyal, and unless you'd consider "real fighting" like UFC a direct competitor, there aren't any major competitors around to try and change that.

This stock is a winner for both the short term and the long term. Buy now while the price is still reasonable.

People will always have money for this

Even discounting the dividend payout, it is awful hard to argue with a company that has around 20% more cash then their total long term liabilities.
