- WWE will report First Quarter 2014 earning results on Thursday, May 1.

WWE CEO Vince McMahon will host the quarterly conference call with investors at 11:00 a.m. EST.

Included will be official initial PPV buys for the final two pre-Network Era PPVs, Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber. WWE will also disclose additional Network results.

- WWE's stock price closed below $20 per share for the first time in nearly three months dating back to January 21.

Shares of WWE stock closed at $19.99, which was near the day's low of $19.94 per share.

On Friday, shares dipped below $20 per share, but rebounded to close at $20.29 per share.
will be interesting to see how Network #'s improve in a month.

Well in a sense yes but the stock was $30 for weeks and has fallen about $10 in the last week since the reveal of the Network number.
The entire stock market dropped last week. It's not a wrestling thing it's economics.

I wouldn't even worry about stock prices in the slightest.

Say Raw averages 4.5 million viewers per week... Their network subscriptions have come in a little under 700,000... That's still about 15% of their average audience who has shelled out money on the product. I'm not sure what Wall Street is expecting, but that doesn't seem all that bad to me for an initial rollout over two months time.

I think it's probably considering the potential break even mark WWE needs since they're losing PPV Buys and DVD sales because of it, so they have to make up for it in network subscriptions.

This summer would be the best time to buy WWE stocks though because it's probably gonna be fairly low by then, and then it'll go back up once WWE Network launches outside of the USA(which is expected at end of 2014/start of 2015)
