Reason For Major Changes To WWE.com, WM 24 Tickets
Date Added: March 13, 2008
Story By: Ryan Gray
Source - Wrestling Observer Newsletter
- As of this week, WWE has sold a total of 62,000 tickets for WrestleMania XXIV.
- Michael Cole has been removed as head of WWE.com as Vince felt that his performance was disappointing due to the articles on the website and the drop in daily unique visitors. Vince wants WWE.com to be the starting point for all wrestling fans seeking news. The goal is to make the site resemble a cross between the Drudge Report and Daily Variety. This is what prompted an "industry news” section on the website that features news articles from some of the most popular pro wrestling websites online and covers promotions such as TNA, ROH, and others. The budget for the site has also been increased as they are trying to develop partnerships with MySpace and Facebook. Shane had a similar idea for the website before but it was shot down by Stephanie. His vision for WWE.com was to have it as a subscription service where fans could get all the "industry news” and have no need for websites such as this one (We aren't going anywhere).

WWE.com is a joke anyway. Pop up ads? advertising banners?
Makes them look really amateur.

Yeah, and I'm sure they are going to have "news" about Orton pooping in bags and Ashley snorting coke.

I wish Cole would be fired from the announce team! He's one of the worst play by play men ever! The reason why he's kept his job long is because Vince doesn't know what's good anymore. He's old and crazy.

Could they please fire him from his commentary job, too?  It's painful boring having to listen to Cole & Coler every week, Coach is barely even a heel anymore. We need a God-damn heel commentator. Anyway, with that said... yeah... |

Cole is one of the main reasons I don't watch SmackDown.

In ten years from now, Shane is probably going to have very little to do with the WWE when Stephanie and Triple H are running things. He's always preferred a "behind the scenes" approach and was basically the one who pushed Vince into opening a website for the company in the first place. The fact that Shane's ideas are getting shot down by his sister, who only comes up with ideas that are FAR WORSE can't make him happy.
