WSJ Your Money Briefing · WWE Stock: No Longer Down for the Count · 29 Aug 2018 podcast

Yeah. voice-verified

If you just looked at that, then you would draw some very pessimistic conclusions. voice-verified

If you just looked at that for Major League Baseball or NFL or anything, you would draw some very pessimistic conclusions, but they would be wrong conclusions because TV viewership is trending older, a lot older, and especially it's very male, very middle-aged to even in the case of sports like baseball, almost in the senior citizen range in terms of the average viewer. voice-verified

But people watch sports in different ways now. voice-verified

They pay for content, you know, in the case of MLB, MLB Network or people who like fantasy football will watch Red Zone. voice-verified

And it's the same for WWE where people pay for watching pay-per-view events or they watch clips for free on YouTube. voice-verified

This is actually they have a gigantic YouTube presence. voice-verified

Yeah, it's huge. voice-verified

I mean, they get billions of views per month on YouTube. voice-verified

And I mean, to the extent you consider it a sport, it's the number one sport worldwide in terms of YouTube views. voice-verified

And I think it's the number two YouTube channel overall in the U.S. voice-verified

Wow. voice-verified

Yeah, I think analysts seem to have kind of missed the boat on this. voice-verified

And I think part of it, and one person I spoke with who's a longtime wrestling journalist, said that there's a bit of a stigma to it and that might hurt it. voice-verified

And if you think about the audience of WWE, something like 100% of fund managers and stock analysts have been to college. voice-verified

Something like 10% of WWE fans have been to college or graduated from college. voice-verified

And that might be part of the problem, kind of understanding its appeal. voice-verified

It's, you know, you have sort of, you know, teenage boys or even preteen boys who are very into it. voice-verified

You have largely black, Hispanic, rural, uneducated audience that are into it. voice-verified

So different demographics, not the sorts of people that you tend to meet and, you know, meet at the barbecue in Westchester and talk about wrestling. voice-verified
