WWE's business decisions

The tours are generally successes. Europe usually sells out and there are major gains in Merchandise sales as everyone wants a souvenir of the night the big time American game came to their town.

However, the WWE can't go jump across the Atlantic or Pacific every week to boost their profits. It's a gruelling schedule for the roster to be put through, and it must cost a fair amount too. This is perhaps one of the reasons why a UK territory was being discussed up until recently. Build up a local, low-cost roster and send over the occassional big name to hype up interest.

It's better in the long run the WWE attend to problems at home. The overseas markets, because they are visited less frequently, will always be there.
