CEO On Why Undertaker's Streak Ended & Advice For WWE, A First For WWE Studios, Stock Update

By Raj Giri

- Equity research firm Belus Capital Advisors CEO Brian Sozzi spoke to Yahoo! Finance about WWE stock tanking this week. Sozzi noted the weaker-than-expected Network subscription numbers, and feels that The Undertaker's streak was sacrificed to bolster post-WrestleMania Network registrations. Sozzi also provided some advice to the company and suggested an off-season, strengthening the drug policy (noting the relaxation of the Therapeutic Use Exception and the three strikes policy last summer) and to take better care of retired wrestlers.

- WWE stock fell another 3.93% today to $20.29. The stock is down 33% since the company announced this past Monday that the WWE Network has 667,287 subscribers.

- WWE Studios latest release, Oculus, opened today. In a first for the company, the movie opened to positive reviews. The movie is at a 71% on movie aggregator site RottenTomatoes.com (a 60% is considered good).
