I'd also note that the Condemned debuted at NUMBER SIX with no hype. Nothing outside of WWE TV. Lion's Gate prevented this movie from doing better in their failure to promote.
They'd probably be doing a lot better if not for that.
As far as action figures and the like, I'd be interested in seeing how strong their sales are, compared to other companies and the like. I'm not particularly convinced they're hugely successful; WWE's still been SLASHING expenses over the last few years to avoid taking losses. In fact, it's been since about 2000.
