WWE Makes Forbes List, Wrestling Stars Turn Out For Wrestler Movie

By • October 13, 2008

- Press Release:

World Wrestling Entertainment has made Forbes 2008 list of “200 Best Small Companies.”

Forbes annual list of Best Small Companies identifies the strongest small public outfits. To qualify, companies must have sales between $5 million and $750 million and a stock price of $5 as of Sept. 29. The ranking is based on return on equity, sales growth and profit growth over the past 12 months and also over five years. Forbes also compares company stock performance with industry peers.

WWE is proving its metal in these tough times. The company’s stock has only lost 7% of its value year to date*, whereas the S&P 500 has lost over 32 points. This performance is in addition to WWE’s 10.5% dividend yield.

- Several thousand people turned out for the screening of Darren Aronofsky’s “The Wrestler” movie last night at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall in New York City; including wrestling personalities Ernest Miller (who was in the movie) ROH owner Cary Silkin, ring announcer Bobby Cruise and several others. The movie has been getting great reviews and Oscar tips. It will be released in on December 9th by Fox.
