Huge Heap Of WWE News

Jim Ross has a new blog up about WWE's growth:

WWE's controlled growth as they continue to grow their brand internationally seems to be the way to go. Systematic, organized touring based on demand for tickets and the power and productivity of their TV partners are two key elements for this potential lucrative business element.

As these TV outlets grow they will bring with them better delivery of PPV events which adds to finding "new monies." International business growth, as I have said for years, is exciting for the WWE brand.

He also has some thoughs on a WWE Channel:

As I wrote earlier in the week, the potential of a WWE Channel is another positive. There are virtually unlimited ways to create new programming notwithstanding the Legends Roundtables, watching DVD releases w/ the talents involved with the production, daily blocks of World Class, AWA, etc has credence. Producing internet "radio shows" along the line of ESPN's Mike and MIke, etc would work. Producing a specific number of hours of daily programming and then repeating it seems doable. The potential is really limitless.
