Vince McMahon on Pepsi, a Wednesday night show and MMA
Just some highlights from the WWE's Annual Shareholders Meeting:

- Vince McMahon once again said that he isn't interested in going into MMA.

- Vince said that he is interested in adding a Wednesday night WWE show. He said that because there are so many networks now, overexposure isn't a concern. He also said that more WWE shows would make it easier for fans to follow the storylines.

- Vince agreed with a shareholder's request to look into creating a WWE affinity program.

- Donna Goldsmith said that WWE has major marketing plans for Summerslam.

- Goldsmith also said WWE has meetings coming up with USA Network and CNN
about marketing.

- Vince said WWE turned down Playboy's request to work together again this year due to WWE now being a PG environment.

- Vince said WWE has signed a deal with Pepsi.

- Vince said that WWE was planning to tour China but ran into issues, adding that he thinks China will be a major part of WWE's future.

- Vince said WWE may cancel its May tour of Mexico due to the swine flu, but did announce another Mexico tour for October.

- Vince blamed the drop in PPV buys on more fans getting together and watching PPVs together than ordering them individually.

- A shareholder asked if Mr. McMahon might be the one to end the Undertaker's
WrestleMania streak. Vince said it's unlikely.

- Vince said it is unlikely that he will appear in any of WWE's upcoming film projects because he has very little free time.

- Vince said that holding a WrestleMania overseas would be tough because it would have to air live in North America.

Pfft
