• WWE’s Approximate Worth Revealed
CNN Money posted the following on WWE’s worth:
“Heading into negotiations for a new TV licensing deal, WWE has two of the most popular shows on cable, a streaming video network with original content and a social media following sports leagues can only dream of catching.
WWE is now worth nearly $3 billion. Sales swelled 11% in 2016 and grew another 10% last year.
The stock has raced out of the gate this year, jumping 12%. Last year, WWE climbed 66%.

• Cody Rhodes Fires Back At A Fan When Asked If Vince McMahon Holds Talent Back, Randy Orton Responds
During a recent Q&A session on Twitter, Cody Rhodes was asked if Vince McMahon holds talent back. Below is the complete exchange from Twitter:
Do you think vince unfairly holds back talent that comes up from NXT? #allin

He doesn't hold anybody back. A lot of times it's hard for fans to accept that some of their favorites have a ways to go or that they become lazy after they get that first LE check. Stardust for example didn't go beyond tag gold cuz' I wasn't improving & I also got outta' shape. https://t.co/PJstDITaMp

He’s backtracking what he said not too long ago. Why be buddy buddy now? A return maybe? https://t.co/ndYCm7sbRS

I've never said I was being held back. Never. The context of the question can change my answers. I'm sure sometimes I sound bitter or sometimes I sound humble. Fans who follow me get a more clear picture of who I am.
You're insane if you think I can do @ALL_IN_2018 and a return. https://t.co/b1GPLEjzQk

I think it's a great example of @CodyRhodes taking accountability for himself and his career trajectory which I commend him for. That said, it's a political answer and not exactly grounded in reality. To say Vince doesn't hold people back is just flat out false. https://t.co/YuwbGSjpkp

Don't comment directly on my tweet as if I don't see it. How's my answer to a fan in a random Q/A remotely political? I have zero to gain. I worked there, you didn't…you bought a ticket, not an education. Sit the fuck down. https://t.co/AVpor9CznG
