What do you think WWE will use all their new money on?
 

So considering the new deals for Raw and Smackdown, WWE is looking at roughly an $470 million per year. The estimates suggest that is gonna be roughly an extra $210 million more added to their bottom line.

So what does WWE do with that money?

Do they have Pyro come back?
Do they hire new better writers?
Do they pay to license main stream songs again?
Do they pay famous musicians to perform tailored themes for wrestlers again?
Do they throw a bunch of money to bring someone like Connor McGregor in?
Do they throw big money to acquire Impact of ROH for their tape libraries?
Do they try to make bigger budgeted WWE Studios films?
Do they just spread the wealth and pay their current rosters more?
Do they offer big money deals to bring in too Indy guys who couldn't pass up THAT much guaranteed money?
Do they finally offer wrestlers full health insurance or 401k retirement plans?
Do they just set the funds aside as a way to make an endowment for the company to ensure they have plenty of money to keep the business going in case they ever almost go out of business again like in 1995-1996ish?

That amount of extra money has to go to something that makes the shows better right? Vince is already worth $1.8 Billion at 72 years old, it's not like he is just going to pocket the extra money even if he could.

Just curious what everybody is hopeful WWE does with the extra funds.

If theyre smart they wont spend it. TV market has a shelf life.

XFL 2.0

I was thinking it would be cool if WWE did a new promotion just about working out. Like WWE strong man tournaments. It would be like Ninja Warrior meets Strongman Competitions. So it would be good if they used some of the new money for this.

Brock Lesnar appearances.

Health benefits for their wrestlers

Haha I kid, I kid. Probably on the Marine 24

:y:

I do think they will "juice up" the product a bit. Do something to give SmackDown its own production feeling (as in just a different set) and might do pyro for some of the top guys, etc. But I don't expect hologram wrestlers back from the dead just yet.

I do think the endowment idea is a smart play. If they were making $260 million for both Raw and Smackdown, I would save say $150 million each year as a buffer. That would still leave them $60 million per year extra over what they are getting now, or an additional $2.5 million per month for each show to mess around with.

And they would end up with a $750 million surplus when the Smackdown deal is up (still would have Raw inked for another 5 years at that point).

Also, with that $750 million saved, even if they were losing 2000 WCW kind of money every year, they would still be able to remain in business for another 10 years easy lol.

They should use the money to hold the first under water rasslin show. Build an underwater arena that can hold 18K people and sell 3 thousand tickets to the event.

I've herd that WWE has considered bringing Mr. Wonderful Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank to correctly manager on of the rosters, with WWE's move to Fox, is this the right time?

Put on live shows in states they never dare venture in.

"MONDAY NIGHT RAW IS LIVE FROM ANCHORAGE, ALASKA! WE GOT A CAPACITY CROWD OF 7,500 FANS OF THE WWE UNIVERSE HERE TONIGHT!"

I hope they blow it all on cocaine.

Judging by last week, I'm sure Jeff Hardy knows someone.

Dividends.

They're gonna cryogenically freeze Vince and revive him in 200 years so he can remain out of touch for a couple of centuries longer.

More shitty onscreen graphics. They'll go whole hog and EVERYONE will get an entrance like Asuka's Wrestlemania Geocities looking .gif shitshow extravaganza.
