-- The final numbers for WWE's tour of Europe are in. For 20 events, they averaged 8,750 paid and $725,000 per event for a total of $14.5 million. This was the company's biggest money making tour in history.
I have to say that I am very happy to hear this. Being a stock holder, I gotta say I try to keep watch of these types of figures.

Well, I think that is good for the company, but bad for the U.S. fans, because that means less house shows for the U.S. if the WWE is making more of a profit over seas.

WWE isn't stupid they understand that outside the US is a huge market just waiting to be utilized but it's a tough schedule on the talent to go over there alot. This is one of the reasons WWE was looking to open up promotions around the world, that idea died down some, but they're still looking at Mexico I believe.

That was good, hopefully WWE end up doing one or two PPV in UK in future, since WWE realise that was huge profit to doing the show at oversea

Oh come on, they hold house shows in the US virtually every day. what's a couple of extra weeks a year overseas going to do?! Ha. Exactly. I doubt the U.S. has to worry of a mass shortage of WWE shows. In fact, they have been INCREASING their numbers of house shows, after the volume dwindled over the previous 10 years. European shows are fun to watch. They add a different element to the shows, especially the TV shows that's not often seen...i.e the singing...Regal getting the biggest pops of the nite... |
