- Equity research firm Belus Capital Advisors CEO Brian Sozzi spoke to Yahoo! Finance about WWE stock tanking this week. Sozzi noted the weaker-than-expected Network subscription numbers, and feels that The Undertaker's streak was sacrificed to bolster post-WrestleMania Network registrations. Sozzi also provided some advice to the company and suggested an off-season, strengthening the drug policy (noting the relaxation of the Therapeutic Use Exception and the three strikes policy last summer) and to take better care of retired wrestlers

This sounds like something Vince would do to help push the WWE Network....

Reminds me of when Austin would always talk about how the WWE would use you up, rotate you back down, and spit you back out. Vince knows Taker doesn't have much gas left and could've been finished any day now, so he sacrificed Taker & The Streak to help launch his WWE Network-

i dont see how sacrificing the streak rly helps the network. Ppl bought the network to watch maina live. The streak ended was a drastic shock but i doubt that made anyone buy the network to see it. By that point they already know what happened.

Smart man. Shocking the world and giving the wrestling community the champ they want is not a bad strategy.

 

[Hawkke]

I don't know if that was such a great idea, I bet they probably lost subscriptions by the dozens that night. When it came to the streak anyway.

 

[jarrelka]

Oh please sacrificed. For him to retire with the streak would just be selfish. You dont go out without putting guys over. Thats not being used its called giving back after everything the wwe have done for him.

Agree about the offseason. Would be epic if it happend. My idea. Move Wrestlemania to October. Have mania and the post raw mania to kinda finnish things up. Then you return in January and start right where you left things.

Stupid speculative theory, nothing more. This guy speculating doesn't even know who the current champion is. he's going on about wellness violation and all kinds of stupid shit that has nothing to do with Network subscribers.

 

[A Paul Heyman G]

It's well known Calaway is good friends with Lesnar. He respects him and handpicked him to end it.

 

[Rigby]

When will these morons who have zero experience or knowledge of the professional wrestling industry stop giving out all this shitty speculation/'advice'?

Seriously, what a dumbass. Everybody knows you don't hold your sacrifices on 4/6; 4/7 and 7/4 are the official dates for sacrifices.

 

[BigEMartin]

This would be ok if the build up was better. Only a 1 month build up??? Lame.

 

[MANTI TEO]

They don't need an offseason

 

[Simpsons Modern Life]

Nah!
