thinking about investing in the WWE......good or bad idea?

Question

Pros:Longest running tv show in historygiant fanbase that continues to growsells out almost every arenaprobably does pretty well on pay per view $ wisemerchandise and cheap t shirts selling like hot cakesit has plenty of international fans and travels outside the us to do shows in other countriesConsnot sure where the future of the WWE will go after Cena/ Punk. Dont really see a face of the corporation type guy waiting in the weeds but i guess most didnt see these guys coming either.Really dont know many other cons. Havent dont much research but I just have a feeling this brand will be around for years to come and continue to grow even larger. Fackin grown men degens on covers even still love and bet on it this stuff. Plenty of youngsters love it so always have more fans up and coming.I mentioned this to a friend and said something like if I bought this stock now surely ill have made some money come wrestlmania. He was like ya buy stock in pumpkins before halloween and nfl before superbowl. Everyone knows these things he was saying. Still think it could be a good investment thought. Especially if this is Takers last ever payperview. Not sure how that will correlate with the stock price but I feel like it will pump a lot of energy and money back into a kind of complacent/stale current wwe. The orton/bryan fiasco and triple h flexing his ceo muscles was pretty dull. Think it can only go up from there......Would love to hear some peoples thoughts on the WWE as an investment

I&#39;m more of a but low/early type of guy.  Feel like WWE may have peaked or at least doesn&#39;t have much higher to climb.

I&#x27;ve been a diehard wresting fan for almost 30 years. I wouldn&#x27;t invest in it. This is the worst era of wresting. I fast forward threw 99 percent of it. It&#x27;s cringe worthy awful.  &#xD;&#xA;I just watch maybe 10 minutes of it now, so I can know what the hell is going on when WrestleMania comes around. If it wasn&#x27;t for WrestleMania, I would have quit watching completely.

WHAT??? how can that be?

wolffer12 · Answer

This thing peaked years ago. I am shocked anybody over 16 watches it anymore.

I have tried and it is just too much compared to the old days. Too many ppv's and other stuff you can't keep up.

THATS WHEN WRESTLING WAS WRESTLING... THE DAYS WHERE THE BEST WRESTLERS WOULD ONLY FIGHT AT BIG EVENTS  AND PAYPERVIEWS, THE DAYS WHERE MATCHES ACTUALLY ENDED WHEN SOMEONE WON ( NOW THEY JUST RING THE BELL FOR NO REASON AND THE FIGHT ENDS)... ITS RIDICULOUS...THE SAME GUYS FIGHT EACHOTHER EVERY WEEK, IT GETS BORING AND OLD.... HOGAN VS THE WARRIOR ONLY FIGHT ON PAY PERVIEWS

Perhaps we are at point where innovation needs to happen to keep this alive... Mma has probably sucked energy and attention for would be wrestling fans of a younger generation...

So if your bet on this investment is innovation, then go with it. If you see same old same old, I'm not sure how things are going to get better

I think its a solid investment now. Potential for future growth is high. Talent developmental system is at its infancy but will only improve and get better with time. The wrestling business, to a certain extent, will always rise and fall based on the star power behind it, but I think the WWE knows this and has some really talented youngsters who could become the next big thing in the next 3-5 years or so. They've definitely got at least that long left with Cena.

My 0.02.
