Little biased there with a bunch of "Worldwide" charts. I'm pretty sure "Worldwide" is not North America. And those are selected historical charts by the WWE, not all of them. And business has gone up in a bunch os statistics in 2005 if you check the current numbers. And I only see a pretty decent decline on two of those charts anyway. Some of them are the same thing, just in different numerical recordings.

I'd hardly call this "proof of continued decline" I'd call this "Proof of some decline based on these charts"

Actually they are all historical charts of their sort (in short) that WWE must produce as they are a public company. The more extensive charts would, as a whole, produce the same trend.

It's interesting that overall revenue is at a higher level now than in 2000 which was probably the WWE's all-time creative/critical product peak. Just goes to show that we can bitch all we want about the WWE not giving us viewers what we want to see, but when they DID give us a TV product we enjoyed, they weren't doing as well as they are now.

Interesting.

Not sure what the point is.

But interesting.
