Just to be in the position to be able lose $340Mil and still be filthy rich would be good to me.

Damn why did it drop so much? No particular reason or did something happen?

Everyone is selling their stock because they don't like where WWE stock is going and can't get a positive return on their investment. If you ask me, all these years of sub-par programming due to no competition is catching up to them. The company isn't capturing the fan base like it used to and isn't gaining new fans as a result of the lack of enticement from the programming they offer. From an investor standpoint, you have to cut your losses if you don't like that WWE is set to lose money fiscal 2014 rather than make money.

Actually has nothing to do with it. Most of the issue was the slow network launch, and then they got about 2/3 the value they were seeking on the new TV deal.
