Letter Grades

Starting 6/28/15, WWE also assigns letter codes to each city (A/B+/B/C).
It appears it's an indication of the relative overall drawing power of the city based on the last visit.
(If we assume that the percentage is in relation to the overall building's capacity.)

A: 70 examples (minimum: 3,500; maximum 15,913) - average: 9,235
B+: 32 examples (minimum: 3,122; maximum 14,481) - average: 7,608
B: 48 examples (minimum: 2,626; maximum 12,717) - average: 6,496
C: 61 examples (minimum: 2,230; maximum 6,996) - average 4,546
Overall Average: 7,002

WWE 2015 Business Partner Summit

WWE held their 2015 Business Partner Summit presentation on Saturday, March 28.

The show's hosts were Triple H & Stephanie McMahon. They were introduced with a graphic noting they were "The Authority". Throughout the show, Paul Levesque was always referred to as "Triple H" as opposed to his real name under his corporate role as Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative.

The event opens with HHH & Stephanie explaining that WWE has five core pillars:

1. Pro-Social
2. Fan Engagement
3. Multicultural
4. Innovation
5. Family Friendly

(It's interesting that these are WWE's five pillars, but I can't even find a single thing on their corporate website listing them.)

Throughout the event, WWE awarded six partners - one representing each pillar and one to the overall business partner of the year. The winners were:

Award #1: Pro-Social = Special Olympics
Award #2: Fan Engagement = General Mills Totino's "Show Us Your Superstar"
Award #3: MultiCultural Partner of the Year: Ad Council - Impact of Fatherhood
Award #4: Innovation - Award #4: Rogers
Award #5: Family Friendly : Kraft Capri-Sun
BUSINESS PARTNER OF THE YEAR AWARD: WARNER BROS.

Some of the awards involved unique winning envelope presenters including Scooby Doo, a Mountie, Titus O'Neil and a giant pizza roll that looked like a Pop-tart.

In between the awards, various WWE executives presented their divisional pitches.

First up was Michelle Wilson and George Barrios.

They said that 2014 was a "a year for the record books". Obviously, their big point to sell was how great the WWE Network was.

WWE NETWORK

They talked about how WWE was the "first major franchise to take their video content direct to consumers with both live programming as well as a massive video-on-demand library." They also love to insinuate that the spate of new OTT (over-the-top) services launching soon are just "following suit" (CBS, HBO, Nick).

"That's right, We were first. More important than being first was why we did it. Innovation is in our blood." - George Barrios

Barrios characterized it as WWE was willing to take their pay-per-view business ("a 30-year staple of WWE") and "evolve it into a significant global growth".

WWE achieved one million subscribers in just 11 months while Major League Baseball took 7 years. (It's worth noting that MLB Advanced Media was founded in June 2000 so it was really at the forefront of sports internet subscription services. I imagine HBO Online is going to shatter WWE's record for subscriber acquisition when it launches. George was also sure to mention that he loves Major League Baseball, which I'm sure it just music to Vince's ears.)

Barrios noted that the WWE Network is "available in 177 countries." His tagline is "From Canada to Cambodia, U.K. to Uganda, Mexico to Malta."

They promoted their subscriber satisfaction and weekly viewership at 90%. Luckily, there was no mention of the outlandish WWE Affinity studies for once.

There was this claim: "WrestleMania 30 was watched by a Record One Million US Households. That was the first time that WrestleMania ever eclipsed this milestone domestically."

They're talking about a Press Release that was sent out on April 15, 2014.

A few things to note:

• They're combining traditional pay-per-view and WWE Network subscriptions. 
• There were many WWE Network subscribers who were signed up for the domestic service, but actually lived overseas.
• Several WrestleMania have achieved more than a million traditional PPV buys (at much higher costs) worldwide. WWE Network was available for only $9.99 and only garned 667,287 subscriptions for WrestleMania 30.
• WrestleMania 31 had 1.315M WWE Network subscribers.

In discussing programming on the WWE Network, the shows highlighted were the Monday Night Wars, Countdown, the Stone Cold Podcast, NXT and Slam City.

WWE repeated their "more households watching the PPVs" talking point with their example with Night of Champions. See the materials from the Q3 2014 Conference Call for more information.

As for new features on the WWE Network, Barrios highlighted adding "Resume Play" and "Watchlist" features.

What's left to come on the WWE Network? Three things were promised:
A. Recommendations
B. Playlists
C. Social Integration
Barrios also mentioned the possibility of adding a "gaming module", whatever that really means.

WWE is also launching eight new series which was discussed on their 3/30 press release.

For Barrios & Wilson, the biggest financial win in 2014 was renegotiation of the domestic and international television contracts. Interestingly the exact phrase used was "nearly doubled the value of our content globally." That's certainly an improvement, but it falls short of the "three times" multipler from the BSkyB deal (as reported by the Hollywood Reporter).

(For more on the 2014 Television deals, see my article "Key Takeaways from the WWE's 2014 Annual Report".)

Special attention was paid to Total Divas. I was a bit surprised by the claim that "three million women watched every week in the US". (That's obviously a skewed statistic that involves adding in all of the people who watch the show and reruns for a few minutes over the course of several days.)

As for Mobile gaming, WWE launched WWE Supercard "(most successful WWE casual
game ever launched") and WWE Immortals.

In Canada,

That brings us to social and digital media. 446 million social followers. 16 million WWE App downloads. 3.5 Billion YouTube views. Big numbers, if even they don't explain what they're doing with it. (This section also provided a moment where Michelle Wilson corrects Barrios, who said "3.5 Million views". Barrios retorts that she never listens to him so he was just testing her.)

Domestic TV

WWE is embracing the NBCUniversal Brand Positioning: ""For the Hero in all of US."

They are also "very excited that Tough Enough will be returning to USA Network in June."  There will be an all new format with live weekly content and unprecedented role for social media.

Dr. Ring Tatsumi Fujinami Wrestlenomics

With the news that Tatsumi Fujinami will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, now is a great time to look at some wrestlenomics for this pro-wrestling legend.

With a career that spans 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s, few men demonstrated the longevity, influence or skill of Tatsumi Fujinami.

CageMatch has record of well over 3,500 matches which is certainly not even the entirety of his career.

He's wrestled with and against everyone from Antonio Inoki, Riki Choshu and Masahiro Chono to Fujiwara, Dick Murdoch, Bad News Allen, Gran Hamada and Andre the Giant. As you crunch his stats, an astounding range of names shows up - Barry Windham, Atlantis, Funaki, Harry Smith, Scott Norton, Vader, Hulk Hogan, Bill Eadie, Liger, Mistico, Sid Vicious, Nailz, Dynamite Kid, Tenzan, Tenyru, Ebessan and Iron Sheik. He's wrestled many people in the same family including the Guerreros (Chavo Sr, Mando, Hector, Eddy as Black Tiger), the Poffos (Randy, Lanny, Angelo) and the Smiths (Harry Smith, Davey Boy Smith).

He's a legend of New Japan Wrestling.

• Between 1972-75 he had at least 516 NJPW matches.
• Between 1978-94 he had at least 2,229 NJPW matches
• Between 1996-2002 ahe had at least 409 matches and he returned in 2005 for 26 more NJPW matches.

Since 2006, he's been especially active in Dradition Pro_Wrestling and Real Japan Pro Wrestling along with Legend the Pro-Wrestling as well as stints in Inoki Genome Federation, Dramatic Dream Team and the occasional appearance for New Japan, Dragon Japan, All Japan, Toryumon Mexico, Osaka Pro, ZERO1, KAGEKI, FREEDOMS, WRESTLE-1, SMASH, Michinoku Pro and more.

Fujinami Record against Opponents

He's also a prolific tag-team wrestler.

If you subscribe to NJ World, I recommend you check out some of the links to some of Fujinami's best matches from the 1980s courtesy of the DVDVR Best of the 1980s New Japan list.

WWE CFO George Barrios at the Deutsche Bank 23rd Annual Media, Internet and Telecom Conference

@adecorativedrop

This morning, WWE CFO and Chief Strategy Officer George Barrios spoke at the Deutsche Bank 23rd Annual Media, Internet and Telecom Conference in Palm Beach Florida.

A replay of the audio webcast is available here.

In terms of ground-breaking announcements, there really wasn't any.

As usual, the program began with Barrios walking through the latest version of the Investor Presentation. As always, he highlights that WWE is a "powerful global brand" with "multiple growth drivers". In particular, here are their important achievements:

(Barrios sounded exhausted on the call. Perhaps this was because the conference was in Florida and not in the greater NYC area. Either way, he seemed off his game as evidenced by things such as when he flubbed a line about WWE mobile gaming and talked about "WWE Scorecard" instead of "WWE Supercard".)

Barrios' message is almost always the same. He sells the "big five" for WWE. Those are:

1. Powerful Global Brand
2. Strong Competitive Position
3. Content Rich Company
4. Large Addressable Market
5. Attractive Financial Profile

TV

Regarding the TV agreements, Barrios did note that the top seven deals (US/UK/India/Canada/Mexico/Thailand/UAE) represented about 130 million dollars in existing TV Rights while the remaining 30 deals represented the final 47 million in existing TV Rights. His point was that "no single remaining deal has major value". When someone asked about whether they expected to stay with the same partners or engage in competitive bidding, Barrios noted that they stayed with their same partners for largest three deals (US/U.K./India) while in the case of Mexico, they did move to a new partner with Fox Sports Latin America.

Someone asked whether launching the WWE Network had any effect on the TV negotiations. At first Barrios tried to ignore the question just saying that "deals are behind us". When pressed for further comment, he just said that he "couldn't put words in their mouths. There wasn't a lot of discussion about it."

That's an interesting perspective and one that runs counter to what CEO Vince McMahon has publicly stated. In May 2014, right after the new NBCU deal was signed, Vince said on a conference call that he was "little disappointed" and that launching the WWE Network in February before they completed the domestic TV deal "definitely had a negative impact".

WWE NETWORK

Of course, WWE is very proud of their over-the-top service. It's pretty much how and why they've started attending all of these conferences.

This was a graph they showed in the presentation, but it's a bit misleading. The 2014 numbers represent the number of paid subscribers at the end of the quarters (along with the post-WrestleMania number of 667,287). However, the 2015 number is a million subscribers (technically 1,000,648) but does not necessarily represent a "paid subscriber" number.

It's almost inevitable that Q1 2015 will average more than a million subscribers. But between a free month in February for new subscribers, the UK launch in early January (with extended-cancellation protections for "cooling-off period" and online forms), #cancelwwenetwork movements and anticipated WrestleMania swell, it's tough to know what the real number of WWE Network subscribers is.

Barrios did announce that WWE is expecting to launch WWE Network on "some new Smart TVs" this year.

WWE continues to push the narrative that the long-term goal for the WWE Network is 3-4 millions subscribers. What's their short-term goal? As usual, Barrios refused to give specifics. "We're not making any calls."

While WWE insists that they're going to announce WWE Network plans for "Italy, Germany, Japan, India, China, Thailand and Malaysia" this list of countries underlines two important points:

a) There's not many new geographies left for WWE to expand into. They already did the Domestic (February 2014), and International Launches (August 2014) and the U.K. Launch (January 2015).

b) It's highly questionable if WWE is really going to launch the WWE Netweork in a country such as China (strict censorship) or India (TV rights were quite valuable and may not want to upset their partner Ten Sports).

WWE continues to push the idea that there are hundreds of millions of households with "affinity for WWE" across the globe. This "tremendous appetite for WWE content" remains a popular talking point for the company, but a completely unproven strategy.  For instance, while WWE estimates there are 10 million WWE broadband homes in France and United Kingdom. However, France ranked #10 behind Chile, New Zealand, Ukraine, Mexico and Brazil for actual WWE Network subscribers according to an infogram that WWE produced. UK was #2. It seems that we're not really looking at apples-to-apples.

INDIA

Barrios new favorite pitch is what I've termed his "India is the Future" speech.

The new TV deal in India for WWE is the third largest for individual television rights. Barrios noted that right now the monetization from the Indian market is "nearly 100% television rights" but he believes there is a big opportunity for WWE merchandising in that country.

While India boasts a large population and robust economy, broadband penetration is relatively low. However, Barrios notes that there's increasing mobile usage which often includes unique "download to go" features for Indian YouTube where a user can essentially go to an internet cafe, download videos and watch them later on their device while they are offline. Whether that sort of solution would work for WWE Network launch is completely unknown but that seems to be part of Barrios' India pitch.

How does WWE play overseas? Barrios said that "universal themes travel pretty well. Good. Bad."

MISC

As usual, the questions from the audience weren't that tough and Barrios sidestepped many of them. He was asked about social media, and how the company is planning to monetize the segment. Instead, he talked about YouTube and how revenue from YT has grown from "few hundred thousand dollars to few million dollars". That's all well and fine, but it absolutely ignores the real questions - does all of those Twitter followers and Nielsen Trending metrics really relate to any evidence that WWE is becoming more popular?

When he was asked about the fanbase demographics in the United States, Barrios said that they have "multi-generational viewing" and that means they "re-generate their fanbase".

In terms of the expensive investment from launching the WWE Network, Barrios insisted that they "have made the pivot" and that since 2014 was the all-time record for Revenue, the company is past the inflection point.

When someone from the audience noted that, "Particularly good plots have spiked business." He wondered if "Anything may drastically increase the viewership?" Barrios just said that since they produce 52 weeks of content each year, things are going to naturally ebb & flow. Furthermore, "We have a lot talented writers.Vince is a key part of that. Paul Levesque is key part of that. They assure me it's just gonna get better."

In general, the audience didn't know that much about wrestling. Someone said, "I don't know when the Royal Rumble was. Was the one million number announced after that?" There was an odd discussion whether Barrios tried to explain that only the PPVs go directly on the Network, Raw & SmackDown show up after the VOD blackout window (typically 30 days) and the other 230 live events are not televised. Someone else tried to point out that there was only a few marque events - Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, WrestleMania, Survivor Series. (Barrios' favorite word is calling them "tentpoles".) However, Barrios shot back, "We have 12 events a year!" Obviously, this avoids the real conversation about how big of a decline in subscribers should WWE expect after WrestleMania.

In closing, enjoy the Barrios Bingo Card.

Latest Articles, Demand at $9.99 and WrestleMania

It's been a few weeks since I gave a round-up of all of the pieces I've been publishing:

• 2/5/15: "WWE Network Conjures Memories Of Internet Stock Bubbles" [Seeking Alpha]
• 2/13/15: "WWE 4th-Quarter Conference Call Announces Record Annual Revenue Numbers"[Bleacher Report]
• 2/2315: "Evaluating the WWE Network 1 Year After Its Launch" [Bleacher Report]
• 2/26/15: "Key takeaways from WWE's 2014 Annual Report" [Wrestling Observer/F4Wonline]
• 3/4/15: "Assessing Potential WWE Network Subscribership" [Voices of Wrestling]

Obviously, Wall Street's reaction to WWE potential with WWE Network subscriptions has been very positive. The stock price has shot up more than four dollars from $12.76 (2/5) to $17.15 (3/5).

$WWE

Yesterday, I looked at the "demand curve" for non-WrestleMania WWE PPVs if the price was dropped to $9.99. I used the last 13 fiscal years of data, but as a discussion with Keith Harris pointed out, if I drop FY2002 (which was the tail-end of the Attitude era), the projected demand drop from nearly 2 million to only 642,000. (Considering that WWE had over 700k paid subscribers for Q3/Q4 2014, it demonstrates just how "rough" this analysis really is.)

As for what's going to happen at WrestleMania for WWE Network subscriber levels, it's anyone's guess (and honestly, at this point that's what you're getting- a guess). On 2/20, I did an informal twitter poll  and came up with:

@mookieghana: So far, the average of responses has been 1,265,000 subs for WM. 10% buffer puts it as high as 1,391,500 subs and low as 1,138,500 subs.

Over on Seeking Alpha, Steven Borovay has been writing lots of articles about WWE. He published an article on March 2 which came up with estimates of between 1,167,848 to 1,335,048 for WWE Network subscriber count as of 3/31/15. Looks like we're both in the same ballpark. He assumes that there will be another Free promotion in May (I have my doubts) and that foreign expansion with drive additional growth (I am also skeptical unless a market like Germany or Italy adds OTT availability).

WWE certainly wants to announce as high a number as possible for 3/31 to impress the market, but it's very questionable how they intend to stem the loss of large quantities of subscribers in April/May/June. Until I see a quarter where there isn't massive churn, I am not convinced that just dropping the six-month commitment was sufficient in placating subscriber uneasiness.
