WWE's stock fell after it failed to reach the kind of TV deal Vince McMahon projected.

There are claims that the WWE misrepresented their losses from the WWE Network and the fall of PPVs.  Supposedly, they said 1 million subscribers would let them break even but now they're saying something like a 30 million dollar loss.  That, and other news, has caused WWE stock to tumble.

So Shield broke up? That's sad, I think they managed to stay fresh with this face turn. Oh well.

Pretty much he lost a lot of money since the stock inflated itself. Smart investors could have so shorted the stock.

You know what? I preferred Bray Wyatt when he wrestled in the ECW and was called Raven.

After speaking with WWE sources, WZ can confirm Kevin Steen has signed a deal with WWE.

The former Ring of Honor World Champion has been rumored to have been on WWE's radar for quite sometime. We had previously reported that Steen was part of a try-out camp for WWE, but nothing more was known regarding the probability of him being signed.

He has now signed, and is expected to finish up his independent bookings and obligations. An exact time is unknown as to when he will report to the NXT Performance Center, but Steen is still advertised for independent shows through the month of June.

-Brodus Clay
-Aksana
-Evan Bourne
-Teddy Long
-Tyson Tomko (just seeing if you're paying attention!)
-Drew McIntyre
-That other guy from 3MB that isn't Heath Slater
-Yoshi Tatsu

could be more. Can't remember. Anyway, your thoughts on the latest releases?
