We all know about the Small loan of $200M, but here's WHY they're losing money to begin with...
>The Network keeps giving their 30-day Trials every Big4 PPV (Mania/Summerslam/SurvivorSeries/Rumble)
So for 120 days out of the year, they hemorrhage money from this shit.
>With the modern Brand Extension, the Annual WWE PPV schedule is upped to 22 per year now. Including NXT and Classic/Tournaments.
It used to be that they would do 12 yearly. Sometimes 13.
They should scale it back to 16.
Meaning: 8 PPV's that are exclusively RAW or SmackDown-hosted. The other 8 being Big4 and NXT TakeOvers.
>RAW is Too damn long. The only reason the Brand Extension worked from 2002-2011 is because the shows were evenly-timed. Keep SD and RAW the same length.
Yes, WWE is overspending now more than ever on this current Brand-Extension. But it's not like the original Brand-Extension was this shit.

They took the loan out in Q4 of 2016 right?
>WWE pays people like Baron Corbin and Roman Reigns the big dollars
>nobody pays to see Baron Corbin or Roman Reigns
>WWE hemorrhages money as the sink money into main eventers that nobody wants to see
why dont they go back to a private company and do what they please?

The network really was a mistake, it killed their PPV stream while adding on a huge overhead cost.
