I have seen absolutely 0 WWE Films, but "That's What I Am" is generally the most highly regarded (and also to this point the one that features its WWE star the least).
EDIT: And also, WWE Films actually lost MORE money last year (like negative $3 Million), so in that sense the Films department is actually up. They brought in more revenue last year though, but also had more expensive films (they were still paying for 12 Rounds). -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/33_Moscow_04112012jg_02128.jpg |

PPV buys down (this quarter did not include WM) Live Event ticket sales up WWE Films revenues down Merchandise sales up Magazine sales down Home Video sales up Overall, WWE earned $123.1 Million in the 3 months, as opposed to $119.9 Million over the same three months last year, which was much higher than analysts forecasted (they predicted this year's earnings would be lower than last year).

Because even if you presume that it was all Nilesh doing the writing in the beginning, it's not like he would have had to use fake pics of Sarah, since it's been documented that their friendship dates back long before this. Then the enterprise got big enough that she probably thought that it wouldn't be an issue anymore, since ESPN is a lot more legit than Covers, and went with real pics/videos. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/33_Moscow_04112012jg_02128.jpg |

I still wonder what their endgame was for accumulating all of those scammed Twitter accounts and webpages under the "Sports Comedy Network."
Did they legitimately intend to build such a thing and then sell it to ESPN for millions later (and along the way steal content the way they did instead of cutting legitimate deals with content creators), or was it really just a front for small-time scamming just to rake in the minor amounts of dough that other people were already raking? -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/33_Moscow_04112012jg_02128.jpg |

Because in the end, Cena should go over, and then the issue becomes "they totally misplaced where this match should have been on the calendar."
If there is only meant to be one Cena vs. Brock match, then I can definitely agree at least that it's really stupid to do it right out of the gate, regardless of who wins. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/33_Moscow_04112012jg_02128.jpg |

If there's no Lesnar/Cena rematch in the works, like ever, then it makes even more sense to put Cena over.
I would be shocked if there wasn't one eventually. I kind of agree with Lance Storm in that there's no one right or wrong answer to that match in and of itself, and it all depends on what they do with it. The path they chose is certainly much easier to screw up, so given WWE's recent history of hot angles fizzling out that doesn't fill me to the brink with confidence. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/33_Moscow_04112012jg_02128.jpg |

The Masked Man defends the booking at Extreme Rules, and gives a history lesson on when entertainment overturned wins and losses as the top priority for a professional wrestler. The idea that sticks with me most in the article is that by having Cena win, now we have bait for a rematch. Had Lesnar continued his dominance and won, then what would be the selling point for it? It's kinda like Anderson Silva/Chael Sonnen. Silva won decisively, but only after getting dominated for 23 minutes. Now they're having one of the hotter rematches in MMA history, as both sides have something to prove. Same thing here. You can definitely make the case now that Lesnar vs. Cena II (to blatantly not count their 2003 fights) has to happen, because both sides have something to prove. In that sense, it's a slick piece of booking in order to potentially draw more money later. EDIT: It's the Lesnar vs. Mir storyarc, basically. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/photo_large/public/photo/image/2012/04/33_Moscow_04112012jg_02128.jpg |
