Is this the best quarter since they went public?
I think thats more likely than the history of the company.

Long and short of it:

-Attendance dropped, but revenue was increased by adding more dates and increasing ticket prices.

-Looks like a lot of the budget cuts were operational, in order for the business model to run smoother.

-A lot of churn with the network. Subscriber base isn't going to increase unless they move to some type of tiered system (probably why people have been getting a shyt ton of surveys about programming).

-Lost about $3M in UK market due to fees and other shyt stemming from the Brexit.

-TV deals expire in 2019, but talks will start next year.

-Company expects to be even more profitable next year.

I always find this side of the business even more interesting.

UFC is being offered more $ than current with worse ratings than WWE

That still makes it best in the history of the company. The best two revenue years they’ve ever had was 2015 & 2016.
Not really WWF/WWE is still the same company, but if you don't know what the actual numbers were or if the non public numbers weren't included, then its kind of a half truth.
