Soo...it appears there may have been a legit reason for ending the Trump storyline...
- Contactmusic.com is reporting that WWE and General Electric (the owner of USA Network) could face an investigation by the SEC due to them announcing last week that Donald Trump purchased Monday Night RAW. The publicity stunt caused WWE shares to fall 7% on Tuesday. Both WWE and the USA Network have apologized and acknowledged that no sale had taken place. This might be one of the reasons it appears they've done away with the angle.

Wow. I didn't want Trump to be around for a while (or at all really), but for a couple of weeks it could have been passable... at least for storyline purposes.

Maybe if we could get Xero to ship them all complimentary copies of his new Steve Blackman shirt, they will forget about this.

SEC doesn't fuck around.
Besides. If you were Joe Stockholder and had shares in WWE. But never ever watched a minute of wrestling, would you cut and run if you heard that Donald Trump bought Monday Night Raw? Besides, Trump got his own problems. Taj Mahal folded up not to long ago in A.C. |

Let's face it, if Chuck Lidel hit someone with a chair outside of the octogon then he'd be charged with assulat. If Dana White fired people based on his mood and made it public I'm sure his company would have folded by now (and until it folded he would be riducled for constantly re-hiring people he fired). If Frank Mir locked a zombie in a casket and lit on fire there would be a full FBI investigation! Because of course, it's still real to someone, damnit. |

I'm wouldn't be suprised if they ran the story to make the stock drop so they can buy up all access shares cheap and sell them in a few weeks in when it blows over. |

World Wrestling Entertainment issued a press release teasing that the storyline involving Vince McMahon & Donald Trump is not over. “Although Trump is no longer the ‘owner’ of Monday Night Raw, this may not be the end of the feud between these two world class promoters,” WWE said in the press release. The storyline appeared to have ended last night, after only one week.

Hours of 4.3 and 4.8 were pretty impressive, considering almost the last decade...

The SEC's motto is "It's still real to me, dammit!"
No, but seriously, SEC's investigating the results of a storyline. It may be something on TV, but when something on TV has a real world impact, it might be time to look into things. Especially when it does lead to a stock shift like that. Besides, the outcome is gonna be pretty straightforward: The fans are fucking retarded, and the investors were fans. Besides, it's not like they're making a federal case out of...Oh....

The 3 hour Raw's top hour drew like a million extra fans before you consider the drama. Could be Trump was actually superfluous for the results of (Whatever the real numbers are...) to have happened. Though I'm gonna say it's probably safe to assume the Trump storyline would at least draw a short term boost. |

Kane Knight, you are brilliant. How can you know that the Donald Trump storyline helped improve ratings?

Well, I think the stockholders who caused the stock drop are fans. I think most of the stockholders don't really care about the programming itself, and I doubt most of them knew anything about the Trump storyline to begin with.
Simply put, I don't think anyone who didn't take their news from WWE.com and Monday night Raw would have sold in the first place. |
