and so far there down over 100 mil alone already this year........

I find that extremely hard to believe...but whatever you say. Obviously the WWE is losing hundreds of millions of dollars all because of Miz.

Wow...they're down close to $120 million less in revenue this year, yet their bottom line is only 8.6 million down? You know why? Because of all of the non-WWE outlets the Miz has been pimped out to over the past 6 months.

Agreed. Sad thing is it looks like the WWE won't realize it until he doesn't sign a new contract and he's gone.

Yet last year the same Q/1/2010 they were 24.7 mil to the Good, and had like 138.7 Mil and revenue and shares were worth .22 more per share

Ok I never read/or heard that as I don't pay to much attention to tna
So I could understand his side of it cuz Big Show and Kane are decent big men, but I would had to put over a jerk like Batista myself or be forced to wrestle non talent big guys like wade and zeke.......but on the other hand the seem to be willing to push Bryan pretty good and him and AJ are alot alike.....

while they might be pushing Daniel Bryan they aren't really pushing him up to the top status. They have him going for the U.S. Championship or battling mid-carders. While AJ has always been one of the top faces of TNA if he went to WWE his worst fear is that he would be stuck doing matches with Sin Cara

If you really think that's all because of Miz then I feel sorry for you. No one man has that much power (positive or negative) in a billion dollar business.

Their numbers are down so much because their PPV buyrates are the lowest in history. A combo of terrible cards for these PPV's and being able to easily find links to watch them online for free = huge dropoff in numbers.

Very true, but its alot of hindsight deals also....is it better to be a top face on a brand going no where or a mid carder in the best brand every? But I would be so harsh on AJ Vs Sin Cara he could really help him develop kinda like the whole bryan/rhodes/dibiase deal is now

after reading through all these threads the last couple months it is widely known that there is a direct correlation between the loss of revenue and profit coinsiding with the unavailability of Zach Ryder merchandise
