SUMMARY - WWE

To be able to construct an entertainment program suitable for an ethnically diverse audience of all ages, WWE must continue making improvements. A few important factors to look at are the introduction of new characters within their televised programming and their continuous multimedia coverage. Furthermore, to maintain identifiable WWE must be both creative and unique. This includes stimulating new ideas and innovations that will push the company forward in a domestic and international level.

In the past years in view of a slight economic downfall, WWE has developed by means of taking a market advantage and risk. The hiring of a new Retail Development Manager, a Public Relations Team and implementing their partnership agreements with THQ, Inc (development, and publishing of video games) and Mattel (manufacturers, market and distributors). As a result, the introduction and launching of new products such as their action figures, and technically advanced video games has surpass globally.

Fan Threatens to Blow Up WWE HQ Because of Mickie James Release

When news broke about World Wrestling Entertainment releasing former Women's Champion Mickie James, I was upset ... but not as upset as 22-year old Zavr Peygumbari. According to The Connecticut Post, Peygumbari is accused of calling WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Conn., over 20 times, threatening that he would blow up the company's offices for releasing James and would visit the building "with a machete and a machine gun."

Peygumbari was arrested Friday and arraigned Monday afternoon at state Superior Court in Stamford. His defense attorney described Peygumbari as a "fervent" wrestling fan who did not intend to follow through on his threats. He was charged with one count of second-degree harassment, two counts of second-degree threatening and four counts of fourth-degree threatening.

Here's the worst part.

During the arraignment, the judge informed Peygumbari that he was no longer allowed to contact WWE employees, go near its Stamford offices, or attend live events. His response: "I'm not allowed to go to wrestling shows?"

MATTEL PROFITS

Zacks Equity Research, On Friday April 16, 2010, 10:46 am EDT

Mattel Inc. (NasdaqGS: MAT - News) has reported first quarter earnings of 7 cents per share. It is quite a revelation, considering that the company was expected to report a loss of 2 cents per share according to the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company had incurred a loss of 14 cents in the year-ago quarter.

The better-than-expected results were primarily driven by strong sales of its core brands such as Barbie and Hot Wheels and its licensed toy lines, particularly newer ones like the World Wrestling Entertainment, Thomas and Friends, and Toy Story. The company is also focused on controlling its expenses and has reaped its benefits.

WWE - PRICING



LINK: wweshop.com

PRICE RANGES: CLASSIC ITEMS:
under $10 up to 84% off
$10 - $19.99
$20 - $29.99
$30 - $39.99
$40 - $49.99
over $50

According to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, "The Economy Matters."

The strategy that I noticed from WWE pricing is the more items they offer the lower the rates. To say the least, their price ranges are phenomenal. WWE continues to aim flexibility at a range of economic abilities, ethnically diverse groups, and satisfy the approximated wide range of 3 years to 50 and 60’s years old.
