WWE Notes: Wrestlemania success, PPVs, and WWE studios

Notes from today’s WWE conference call:

– When asked about cutting the dividend and feel they can maintain it and part of their plan thru 2015

– They cite a higher amount of HD buys for their PPV’s with a 5% increase

– Vince McMahon noted seven new performers appeared on WrestleMania for the first time this year

– McMahon noted the $72-million in gross revenue for WrestleMania 29, it will easily be most profitable ever

– McMahon states the success of “The Call” more than balances out the shortcomings of “Dead Man Down” for WWE Studios
