Yeah, but Microsoft's not the only producer of software, either.

Doesn't matter when deciding whether or not something's a monopoly. It's whether or not competition can develop. Right now, the WWE has NONE.

There may even be thousands of wrestling promotions, but they're nothing compared to the WWE, and neither threat nor competition. Even TNA's not enough to get them pissing themselves.

Still, it's funny that a monopoly argument comes up based on Brock signing a non-competetion contract when released from his own. IT's almost like arguing that contracting workers is a monopoly, because Brock wouldn't be able to go elsewhere in pro wrestling for a living anyway.
