If Disney didn't buy it back then and pump loads of marketing into the brand and create new content, why would it be worth more now, aside from inflationary reasons, that is.

>that still engages in pay-per-view.
WWE hasn't done proper PPVs in ages. That strategy went away with the WWE Network, and they are no longer even called pay-per-views, they are now officially called premium live events.
Buying Lucasfilm also included Industrial Light and Magic and Skywalker Sound, so there were still tangible money generating assets included completely outside of the Star Wars brand.

So you are 20 years out of touch on a product, have no idea about the current state of the industry, but you still feel qualified to offer an opinion?
The fact is that wrestling shows are usually in the top five for whatever night they are on, be it cable or broadcast.

Sounds like you haven't watched wrestling in 20 years.

WWE is more profitable now than at any point in its history.
He likely wants to sell it because it seems he doesn't want to leave it to his kids anymore.
Shane was fired a couple years ago, and Stephanie was kicked out this past year.
Shane also sold all his stocks years ago.

I think Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4b.
Which also included Indiana Jones.

Riverdale.
I'm genuinely curious to see how they were able to consistently come up with even fucking stupider ideas year after year. It's genuinely impressive that after they hit bottom they were able to keep digging for six more years.

Did he want to be in the show? I thought he was retired from acting and he just showed up a bit as a favour to the rest of the cast.

There's no real good way to do a Superman story with a series finale. The best I think we can hope for is they just don't introduce any new plot threads in the last two minutes of the final episode.

Does he really have much worth in the acting world these days? All he does is his podcast.

Parks and Rec might be the prime example of this. What an awful first season. Ends up being probably one of the top ten best sitcoms ever.

Singles came out before the album is released. That's how people knew they need to rush out the first day it's available to buy it.

You believe wrong. Dick Grayson/Robin in BTAS was a university student, and remained that way through the whole series. In the new animated adventures, Dick Grayson had moved to Bludhaven as Nightwing and Tim Drake took over as Robin.
