-Vince McMahon turned on the charm during the annual shareholders meeting. He addressed a number of topics (the highlights were posted on the site earlier today) and seemed to have a good time speaking to the shareholders.
The Chairman of the Board answered the majority of their questions in a straight forward manner, but he didn't directly answer a shareholder who asked if the company was going to reenforce the rules of the brand split. Rather, he explained why they started running pay-per-views with all three brands, and that they like to make it special by breaking the barriers at WrestleMania. However, he never really said whether they intend to tighten the rules. Interesting. In case you missed it, you can watch the shareholders meeting by clicking here.

I only wonder about this because over the last 3 or 4 years I’ve become increasingly perplexed at the close proximity of sports-entertainment [...] |

By Tink Holloway on 18 April 2008 |
| Ever since I was very young and watched my first WWE (F as it was at the time) pay-per-view, Royal Rumble 1994, I had always wanted to see it live. The way Vince McMahon would assure everybody that the arena had gone cold when The Undertaker came out and the fan reaction to Bret Hart?s [...] |

By Robert Heard on 29 March 2008 |
| Right, well it is well known that I am a Puro writer and have never written on the subject of American Wrestling. But a Puro blog on the eve of WrestleMania seems wrong, not in the least because WrestleMania is not a Japanese event at all?HustleMania is but then the less said about that the [...] |

By Robert Heard on 29 March 2008 |
| So WrestleMania, the biggest event on the calendar for wrestling fans will be a huge event. It will be the second ever to be held completely outdoors. It is reported it will pump twenty five million into the local economy and bring 60,000 people to Orlando as well.
