Guest A.C. Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I know the ICW is always talking about how WWE's in the toilet and their creative is shot to hell and the show's unwatchable, However, they're answerable to stockholders and this chart (nicked from a post on the DVDVRMB) tells the real story: http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/9958/wwe3lr.jpg So, are we all wrong? Someone obviously sees value in WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest A.C. Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Sorry, I didn't explain - it's the stock price. They've gone from about $10.60 per share up to $18.20 in the space of a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest big pau hoolinator Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 So this time last year they were worth 10m and now they're worth 19/20m ? is that right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 So this time last year they were worth 10m and now they're worth 19/20m ? is that right ? WWE is worth about 700m ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MojoPogo Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Thats fine for the shareholders, but what about us, the fans eh? It'd be interesting to see a chart based on FANS evaluation of the product....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A.C. Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Which sort of fan, though? I know plenty of people who like WWE but find me talking about "insider" stuff really weird. They also mark for Masters and do the poses alond with *ding* sounds and they really dig Mark Henry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slim Jim Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 See WWE are getting better and better. A.C. even has CHARTS~! to prove it. If only they had Kevin Nash as well, think of the steepness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Beltster Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 WWE have made tens of millions by dipping into their various archives to produce great DVD's and their WWE 24/7 OnDemand service, this has alot to do with the huge amounts of revenue they have pulled in and not to much the current day product, apparently.

Exploiting the golden age of wrestling must be doing well for them. The ECW brand announcement also spiked their share price somewhat, or so I read.

Guest the HiTman Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Yeah, there have been more DVD's over the past year than at any other time. I mean, after all Vince does need to fund his movies somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrFill Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) But can anyone produce a graph showing the last 10 years of their stock? I'd love to see more than just the last 12 months.

They floated in 1999 at a value of £1.5billion so they're down from then but to be fair they were right on the tail end of the biggest boom period the business has ever seen.

Guest MrFill Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I could of predicted you saying something to try and make Someone good into something bad. Not at all, just wanted to see how much it slumped. As a point of note, this is from the "float": http://www.ex-rev.com/FillsImages/wwe.png Note that they're ALMOST back at the same level as when the float happened - if this continues, then the WWE is going to get better money wise over the next year or so. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A.C. Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 We must be missing a trick here because even though WWF/E floated at $1.5billion and the shares aren't massively below their initial peak, the company is now (from what I recall) valued at $7 - 8million. Maths was never my strong suit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrFill Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Note the scale on the left hand side - it's not regular. It looks like it's currently at 18, but started at 25, so while that's not down to half, it's a gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it's currently at 18, but started at 25, so while that's not down to half, it's a gap. So we need to assume that the $1.5billion wasn't entirely made up of the share value - that Vince didn't sell a massive amount of the company. So they must have a company asset and income value of X but fluctuations in the share price will have a massive effect on Y which would be then added to X to give the total value? I think...

Guest MrFill Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Sounds about right. :lol If this trend continues though, they might be able to get back to their previous highs - all they need to do now is fire the Hollywood Creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Ok im so sonfused, just tell me this, how much is WWE worth & how much is TNA worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A.C. Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 TNA is worth a few thousand at best. It's a company that isn't making money so all they could liquidate is the ring, lights, set etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 So, if the Carter family were willing to play ball, Vince could buy TNA without blinking an eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A.C. Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 So' date=' if the Carter family were willing to play ball, Vince could buy TNA without blinking an eye?[/quote'] Easily. The contracts of the wrestlers might be worth a few $s though but the total assets of TNA are worth very little - it's the "hardware" and the video library and the video library has nowhere near the value of a WCW or an ECW.

Dead Crow Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Put it this way. Ten years + of WCW/Crockett videos, 24 worker contracts and all logos etc, cost $2 million at best. Now remember that WCW was, even in 2001, double, if not triple as popular as TNA is right now, and that they have an insane amount more of video library which is of far more worth than TNA's library. And keep that $2 million in your mind whilst working it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
