The New WWE® Expands Beyond Wrestling

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To better reflect the companys global entertainment offerings, World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: WWE) announced today a new business model for future growth, including formally rebranding itself, WWE.

The new business model of the company better reflects what WWE is all about, being a global entertainment company

Two key components to WWEs brand expansion will be the active pursuit to acquire entertainment content companies and the outsourcing of WWEs core competencies television and film production, live event production and licensing. As part of the new business model, the company will also focus on the development of new television products including scripted, non-scripted and animated programs, as well as the launch of a new WWE network in the next 12-18 months. The first new program of the brand expansion is Tough Enough®, WWEs non-scripted program that debuted on the USA Network on Monday.

The new business model of the company better reflects what WWE is all about, being a global entertainment company, stated Vince McMahon, Chairman and CEO, WWE. We will always be loyal to our core business that made WWE a globally known entity, however, the future of WWE will be the addition of new entertainment content opportunities beyond the ring.

This new rebranding initiative will be highlighted through a national consumer and business-to-business advertising campaign entitled Bigger. Badder. Better. The campaign kicked off at WrestleMania® XXVII on Sunday and will be featured on cable TV, print and online.

In addition to focusing on the expansion of the company, the company will bolster its core business with the launch a new talent development department headed by Paul Triple H® Levesque.

F4WOnline.com reports that he committed suicide yesterday.

Whybrow suffered from bipolar disorder and had a breakdown in 2009, which he described as "the absolute worst event" of his life. He went through a long recovery process the following year.

He made sporadic appearances on the independent scene after parting ways with ROH in 2009.

Independent wrestler Chris Hero, a friend of Whybrow, commented on his passing on Twitter.

"We lost a dedicated friend and an overwhelmingly talented performer this morning," he wrote. "Alex Whybrow aka 'Sweet & Sour' Larry Sweeney has passed.

Injury forces Edge to retire
By: Greg Adkins April 11, 2011
Tags: Edge
Less than a week after his successful title defense against Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania XXVII, World Heavyweight Champion Edge has been forced to retire from in-ring competition due to injury. The unexpected news brings to an end a storied WWE career spanning 13 years and consisting of 11 World Title reigns. (CAREER PHOTOS)

The Rated-R Superstar had been suffering numbness and uncontrollable trembling in his arms and hands. This is not the first time Edge has experienced these symptoms of nueropraxia. An MRI administered at Atlanta Midtown Diagnostic Imaging last Monday was sent to Dr. Joseph Maroon, a renowned neurosurgeon and professor of neurosurgery at The Pittsburgh School of Medicine. After careful examination of the MRI, it was determined that Edge would never be cleared to compete again, and thus, he is forced to retire.

In 2003, Edge underwent a two level spinal fusion of the discs between his C5, C6 and C7 vertebrae. After being cleared to compete, The Rated-R Superstar returned to the ring, resulting in stenosis of the spine, or a narrowing of the spinal column, above and below the fused discs. This narrowing resulted in less and less of the vital fluid needed to protect the spinal cord. Medical professionals cannot clear Edge to compete ever again in WWE since doing so could result in paralysis or even death

The Smoking Gun website has released a recent article that outlines Donald Trump's lack of charitable contributions compared to other billionaires and in doing so, they revealed the pay his charity organization received for his work with the WWE. Trump's tax returns showed that the Donald J. Trump Foundation received $4 million for Donald Trump's participation in the 2007 WrestleMania program when Vince McMahon got his head shaved after the Umaga/Bobby Lashley match. The foundation got another $1 million for his work in 2009 when Trump "bought" the WWE and sold it back to Vince McMahon (all storyline and not actually true)

quote:

- Edge is still under contract to WWE and will be working with them later this year to promote his new WWE Studios movie. Everyone expects Edge to remain a part of the WWE family, similar to Shawn Michaels.

Tonights SmackDown tapings is his last scheduled appearance for the company for the time being.
