WWE's Vince McMahon Optimistic Despite Losing $350M in One Day

-

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was hit hard in the wallet after the company's stock dropped more than 40 percent, causing him to lose $350 million in just one day. The professional wrestling mogul said goodbye to his billionaire status as his net worth settled at a much lower $750 million. Viewer reception to the new online streaming service has been slow and he believes that WWE's new deal with NBCUniversal disappointed investors. 

"The company's valuation could take a heavy beating this morning, as the new domestic TV deal with NBCUniversal likely disappointed investors," wrote McMahon in a report.

The new deal with NBCUniversal fell short of expectations, bringing in a $60 million increase, short of projections that it would double the previous deal. According to Forbes, the online streaming service has yet to turn a profit with 667,000 subscribers, falling short of the 1.5 million mark of breaking even. 

Despite the bleak start, Vince stayed optimistic in a statement, "The rising value of our content coupled with the global expansion of WWE Network will provide the foundation for long-term growth that continues to transform our business over the coming years."

Send it to the studio! We start the Denzel is Bond campaign today!” Reddit users were quick to spread the word, with pm_me-please posting “I just tweeted #DenzelIsJamesBond everybody do it now!” British actor Craig  has been playing 007 since 2006 when he starred in a darker remake of  Casino Royale . His version of the spy marked a departure from the more cheesy action romps that the franchise was previously known for. Along with the Bond question, Washington was al
