Which would cost WWE more money?
Lower ratings so less advertisement income or less merchandise pushing?

According to -
http://corporate.wwe.com/news/docume...ease-FINAL.pdf Last year, WWE got $10.4 million from advertising and $13.7 million from merchandise (including DVDs). So I think selling less merchandise would affect them more than lower ratings. But with that being said, lower ratings will lead to less merchandise being sold because less people are watching WWE. So I think they're both pretty important, but they make more money from merchandise. |

Ratings IMO would control everything
If the ratings were lower that would indicate a lack of interest in the product, meaining the advertising wouldn't be as lucrative as less big investors would want to buy the time, so the price would drop, plus with less people watching, there’s less punters to show up to house shows and buy the merch, either at the shows or online. Not to mention PPV buys So I pick ratings, good research above though. |

I agree, Chuck Norris would increase ratings and merch sale. Plus he could karate kick people.

A fake martial artist who made up most of his credits to his name?
Yeah, Norris is for stupid little faggots who should hang themselves. |

Stock prices will mean more than everything else put together. If stock starts falling rapidly, you can bet we will see drastic action to try and put things right.
I am confident that this drastic action will be a fued between the Great Khali and Hulk Hogan and the release of Londrick. |

It all comes back to the ratings, if no one is watching wwe they produce no venue that will effect the stock price. If they are getting 10.0 in the ratings the stock would be through the roof |

However Chuck Norris controls the stock market, so essentially it's up to him

See, Ratings are down like two full point, a massive hit from a few years ago. And until drug scandals hit, stocks were up. Up, despite steadily decreasing ratings. Hmmmmm....Why could that be? |

Yeah....
The fact is, ratings don't affect stock prices as much as overall profits do. And while profits are partially determined by ratrings (Inasmuch as they affect advertising), WWE was busy working their asses off, shilling their shit and increasing PPVs. All the investors end up seeing? The overall profits. Now, that's a short term plan, and it looks like it's starting to come back to bite them, but it's clear that ratings don't directly influence anything. Indirectly, perhaps.... |

WWE is doing the best business it has ever done. It is just some bad apples in the crowd that won't cheer who they are told to cheer.
