It is estimated that the WWE will lose over $10 million in advertising dollars come the TV network switch.

His main idea was to just show the world he was #1. This has backfired on him badly. Ratings are down (only 2.6 for RAW this last week compared to such record breaking crowds in the late 90's of 8.0 - 8.5), attendance has slumped bad in most cities in America and Canada. McMahon has screwed out 100's of wrestlers who used to work for WCW and ECW. What happened to the glory days of pro wrestling? McMahon killed it, and sooner rather than later will slowly choke himself into submission.

Very good post and well said. I agree that McMahon has killed the wrestling industry.
I used to watch all the time back in the mid to late '90s because it was actually very entertaining and had some great twists and matches. Not to mention WWF was in a bitter war with WCW which made things that much better. The wrestlers themselves these days are just not as good nor entertaining in my opinion. I loved having guys like the Rock, Stone Cold, Mankind, Triple H, New Ahe Outlaws, DX etc headlineing the business.
