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.

I disagree completely and I'm gonna' tell you why:
If you're gonna argue that Mcmahon killed the industry, you also have to acknowledge that he's the one that brought it to prominance. Vince bought out WCW and ECW because he knew that wrestling was booming and that the market was going to go on the decline. It has. The reason for all the releases and the low ratings is because the industry has experienced a decline.
