Vince McMahon on Pepsi, a Wednesday night show and MMA
Just some highlights from the WWE's Annual Shareholders Meeting:
- Vince McMahon once again said that he isn't interested in going into MMA. - Vince said that he is interested in adding a Wednesday night WWE show. He said that because there are so many networks now, overexposure isn't a concern. He also said that more WWE shows would make it easier for fans to follow the storylines. - Vince agreed with a shareholder's request to look into creating a WWE affinity program. - Donna Goldsmith said that WWE has major marketing plans for Summerslam. - Goldsmith also said WWE has meetings coming up with USA Network and CNN about marketing. - Vince said WWE turned down Playboy's request to work together again this year due to WWE now being a PG environment. - Vince said WWE has signed a deal with Pepsi. - Vince said that WWE was planning to tour China but ran into issues, adding that he thinks China will be a major part of WWE's future. - Vince said WWE may cancel its May tour of Mexico due to the swine flu, but did announce another Mexico tour for October. - Vince blamed the drop in PPV buys on more fans getting together and watching PPVs together than ordering them individually. - A shareholder asked if Mr. McMahon might be the one to end the Undertaker's WrestleMania streak. Vince said it's unlikely. - Vince said it is unlikely that he will appear in any of WWE's upcoming film projects because he has very little free time. - Vince said that holding a WrestleMania overseas would be tough because it would have to air live in North America.
