The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the
pains that I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time.
*** George Bernard Shaw***
I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one
begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts.
*** Sir Arthur Conan Doyle***
Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check
your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.
*** Ayn Rand***
If two things don’t fit, but you believe both of them, thinking that somewhere, hidden,
there must be a third thing that connects them, that’s credulity.
*** Umberto Eco***
Islam is a religion in which Allah demands you send your son to die for him; Christianity
is the faith in which God sent his son to die for you.
*** John Ashcroft***
No woman can be handsome by the force of features alone; any more that she can be witty by
only the help of speech.
*** Kin Hubbard***
Catch a man a fish and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a
wonderful business opportunity.
*** Karl Marx***
I can write better than anybody who can write faster, and I can write faster than anybody
who can write better.
*** A. J. Liebling***
One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is
terribly important.
*** Bertrand Russell***
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing
left to take away.
*** Antoine***
It is always the best policy to tell the truth, unless of course you are an exceptionally
good liar.
*** Jerome K. Jerome***
History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other
alternatives.
*** Abba Eban***
The trouble with her is that she lacks the power of conversation but not the power of
speech.
*** George Bernard Shaw***
It is better to be beautiful than to be good, but it is better to be good than to be ugly.
*** Oscar Wilde***
Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems.
*** Rene Descartes***
A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.
*** Friedrich Nietzsche***
I didn’t like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions the curtain was up.
*** Groucho Marx***
There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors.
*** Jim Morrison***
The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you’ve got it made.
*** Jean Giraudoux***
I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.
*** Clarence Darrow***
I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.
*** Mark Twain***
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don’t know the answer.
*** Douglas Adams***
The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced.
*** Frank Zappa***
Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.

World Wrestling Entertainment Type: Public {NYSE: WWE} Founded: 1952 Founder{s}: Roderick McMahon Toots Mondt: Headquarters: Stamford, Connecticut, U.S. Key people: Vince McMahon {Chairman} Linda McMahon {CEO} Shane McMahon {Executive Vice President of Global Media} Stephanie McMahon-Levesque {Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, Live Events and Creative Writing} Industry : Professional wrestling, sports entertainment Revenue : ▲ $526.46 million {2008} Operating income▲ $70.29 million {2008} Net income: ▼ $45.42 million {2008} Total assets: ▼ $429.41 million {2008} Total equity: ▼ $359.97 million {2008} Employees: 564 {as of February 2009, excluding wrestlers} Website: wwe.com
World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. {WWE} is a publicly-traded, privately-controlled integrated media {focusing in television, Internet, and live events} and sports entertainment company dealing primarily in professional wrestling, with major revenue sources also coming from film, music, product licensing, and direct product sales. Vince McMahon is the majority owner and chairman of the company and his wife Linda McMahon holds the position of Chief Executive Officer {CEO}. Together with their children, Executive Vice President of Global Media, Shane McMahon and Executive Vice President of Talent and Creative Writing, Stephanie McMahon-Levesque, the McMahons hold approximately 70% of WWE's economic interest and 96% of the voting power in the company.The company's global headquarters are located in Stamford, Connecticut with offices in Los Angeles, New York City, London, and Toronto. The company was previously known as Titan Sports before changing to World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, Inc.then becoming World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.WWE's business focus is on professional wrestling, a simulated sport that consists of wrestling combined with acting and theatre. It is currently the largest professional wrestling promotion in the world and holds an extensive library of videos representing a significant portion of the visual history of professional wrestling. The promotion previously existed as the Capitol Wrestling Corporation, which promoted under the banner of the World Wide Wrestling Federation {WWWF}, and later the World Wrestling Federation {WWF}. WWE promotes under three brands: Raw, SmackDown, and ECW. WWE is also home to three world heavyweight championships: the WWE Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship, and the ECW Championship.
On April 29, 1999, the WWF made its return to terrestrial television by launching a special program known as SmackDown! on the fledgling UPN network. The Thursday-night show became a weekly series on August 26, 1999.On the back of the success of the Attitude Era, on October 19, 1999 the WWF's parent company, Titan Sports {by this time renamed World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, Inc.} became a publicly traded company, offering 10 million shares priced at $17 each. WWF announced its desire to diversify, including creating a nightclub in Times Square, producing feature films, and book publishing. In 2000 the WWF, in collaboration with television network NBC, announced the creation of the XFL, a new professional football league that debuted in 2001.
The Attitude Era turned the tide of the Monday Night Wars into WWF's favor for good. After Time Warner merged with AOL, Ted Turner's power over WCW was considerably reduced, and the newly merged company decided to get rid of WCW entirely. In March 2001, WWF Entertainment, Inc. acquired World Championship Wrestling, Inc. from AOL Time Warner for a number reported to be around $7 million. With this purchase, WWF was now the largest wrestling promotion in the world, and the only one in North America with mainstream exposure. It remained so until the launch of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2002.The assets of Extreme Championship Wrestling {ECW}, which had folded after filing for bankruptcy protection in April 2001, were purchased by WWE in mid-2003.
In 2000, the World Wide Fund for Nature {WWF}, an environmental organization, sued the World Wrestling Federation. The Law Lords agreed that Titan Sports had violated a 1994 agreement which had limited the permissible use of the WWF initials overseas, particularly in merchandising. Both companies used the initials since March 1979. On May 5, 2002, the company quietly changed all references on its website from "WWF" to "WWE", while switching the URL from WWF.com to WWE.com. The next day, a press release announced the official name change from World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, Inc. to World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., or WWE, and the change was publicized later that day during a telecast of Monday Night Raw.

In March 2002, roughly two months before the name change, WWE decided to create two separate rosters, Raw and SmackDown! due to the overabundance of talent left over from the Invasion storyline. This is known as the WWE Brand Extension. In addition to the Brand Extension, WWE holds a Draft Lottery every year.
In late 2005, WWE Raw returned after a five-year stint on TNN {now Spike TV} to its original home USA Network. In 2006, due to contracts with NBC Universal, parent company of USA Network, WWE had the chance to revive its classic Saturday night show Saturday Night's Main Event {SNME} on NBC after a thirteen-year hiatus. WWE had the chance to promote the company on a major national network rather than the lower profile CW or cable channels like USA Network. SNME airs occasionally on NBC as a WWE special series.
On November 19, 2008, WWE launched their online social network, WWE Universe. It initially appeared in April as WWE Fan Nation. Similar to MySpace, it offers blogs, forums, and other features for WWE fans.{20} On January 9, 2009, WWE announced that it was going to be cutting 10% of its staff across the board as part of an effort to cut $20 million in costs.{21}
WWE is currently under investigation by the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform regarding their talent wellness policy, after the death of one of their performers, Chris Benoit, possibly being linked to steroid abuse.In August 2007, WWE suspended ten professional wrestlers for violating their Wellness Policy after reports emerged they were all customers of Signature Pharmacy in Orlando, Florida. According to a statement attributed to WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt, an eleventh wrestler was later added to the suspension list.
In addition to licensing wrestling and performers' likenesses to companies such as Acclaim, THQ, and Jakks Pacific to produce video games and action figures, WWE has moved into other areas of interest in order to market their product.
