Wrestling Observer Newsletter wrote:Janice Carter (Dixie’s mother) is cutting back on company funding and has thus forced them into cutting back on spending. This included a couple of contracts that came due and people being offered lesser deals than they had, and also some cuts and very few new people being signed. Janice is the person in charge of the major financial decisions, and this has been the case for months. Dixie Carter is still calling most of the shots except when it comes to spending or anything affecting the bottom line.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter wrote:Currently the idea is for Jim Ross to remain on television for however long the Cole angle lasts. The fact he’s done real strong quarter hours may stretch the angle out longer. For now, there are no plans for Ross coming back to announce.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter wrote:The WWE network is a big part of the rebranding of World Wrestling Entertainment to WWE. The idea is that they are going to do their own television network and don’t want it perceived as a pro wrestling channel. The problem is the term WWE will be perceived as pro wrestling. They want to air scripted programming as well as programming that can use the marketing concepts of WWE, which is a television show, market the characters with merchandise in stores and even tour with it. It was also noted that they are looking at using people like Drew Carey to come up with programming ideas. The TV channel would feature a lot of wrestling, particularly the old tapes. They are currently digitizing the library and trying to upgrade some of it to High Definition, but it's a very slow process. The network would also likely include the TV properties that they can’t get carriage deals for.

I'd love to know the buy rates, I can't see it being very high compared to the glory days when events used to be on standard Sky Sports.
