WWE® NETWORK ON TRACK TO 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS
STAMFORD, Conn., April 7, 2014 – WWE (NYSE: WWE) today announced that WWE Network has 667,287[1] subscribers and is well on its way to reaching its goal of 1 million subscribers by the end of 2014 just 42 days after launching in the U.S., making it the fastest-growing digital subscription service. This announcement comes following a historic WrestleMania® 30, which aired live on WWE Network as well as on pay-per-view through satellite and cable providers from a sold-out Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

The stock is taking hit, down almost four dollars a share at this writing. Wall Street obviously doesn't like the news, I just don't get why. I think those are really good numbers.
