> Vince McMahon was asked about a potential sale of WWE during today's third quarter earnings call and said the company is open to anything but controlling their own destiny if very important.

> Vince commented on being unsure of how much control they would lose if they were absorbed or bought but they are open to offers because they are business people.

> Vince said WWE is open to listening to offers, especially the kind of offer they couldn't refuse, and are "open for business" but are also focused on doing their own thing and creating their content.

> The same investor asked again if WWE would be interested if they received an offer that would allow them to still control their destiny and Vince replied:

> "We're open for business."

>Ratings for their flagship show have continued to precipitously decline. This quarter, Raw ratings were down 17% on a national rating basis and down 14% on a coverage rating basis. This decline is greater than the drop seen by USA Network as a whole.

>However, the new Smackdown live format was a bright spot. Ratings are up 14% on a national rating basis and 13% on a coverage rating basis.

>As Vince McMahon noted, "in environment where all cable ratings are challenged, SmackDown transition to live format has been successful."

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MARTIAL ARTS GYM:
•Physically conditioned, fit participants
•Trainer with certified professional record and a training history with at least one athlete who competes successfully
•Sparring, "aliveness" in training
•At least one participant competes at amateur or professional level
•Physical conditioning part of training

WHAT TO BE WARY OF:
•Fat, physically subpar students and instructor
•Graduation fees (e.g. "pay $200 and advance to next belt extra quick!")
•No proven athletes training there
•No sparring, moves shown are choreographed (e.g. "the attacker does this, then I do this, then you do this...")
•Cult-like atmosphere
•No physical conditioning

Vince tried to fuck his career up on purpose, when you think about it. He could've been a much bigger draw and easily gotten the crowd on his side but I get the feeling the McMahons hamstrung him creatively so they could have a "loyal" guy as the antithesis to Rock
