Recap of WWE's 2010 Shareholders Meeting

Vince had Stephanie McMahon and executive vice president of marketing Michelle Wilson address the shareholders on marketing and talent relations. Wilson announced that WWE will have a huge presence in a campaign with 7-11. Plus, there will be a marketing campaign with Burger King that will feature Undertaker, Triple H, and John Cena toys.

Stephanie praised the guest host concept. She said the hosts have fun playing in front of thousands of people and get promotional value out of their appearances. She noted that WWE is bigger than the late night shows and Saturday Night Live. "We really are what's cool to do in Hollywood right now, which can only help our image and brand building," Stephanie said.

Stephanie also discussed the NXT brand. She noted that it was previously ECW. She stated that they are featuring the stars from their developmental territory FCW. She said it's exciting to see how the future stars perform with the spotlight on them.

On a few occasions Vince and other memebers of the executive team referred to the "Wonder Women of the WWE" which is Donna Goldsmith COO, Michelle Wilson, EVP Marketing, & Stephanie McMahon, EVP Creative Development & Operations. Vince closed the session by praising the management team and saying it's the best team they've ever had in place. I think this is further insight into why Shane left the company.

Vince stated that he does not intend to return to the ring...More?

WWE Declares Quarterly Dividend

A funny side-note. When Vince introduced Stephanie, he commented that everyone will notice that she had gained weight since last year. Stephanie replied back, "Darn Triple H!"
