WWE News: New President of WWE Studios named

Marketwatch.com is reporting that Michael Luisi has been named the new President of WWE Films. Luisi has spent the last 12 years with Miramax, most recently as the Executive Vice President of Worldwide Operations, where he managed day to day operations, and served as chief liaison to both the President of Miramax and then parent company Disney. Vince McMahon is quoted in the piece, "Michael's vast knowledge of, and experience in, the motion picture industry make him a tremendous asset for WWE Studios," said Vince McMahon. "I am confident Michael will continue to expand our motion picture business on all platforms worldwide."

Shore's Slant: Wow, big pick-up for WWE. Luisi's resume is pretty extensive, and WWE Films needs someone who can run it effectively. Looks like Vince is very serious about making it a viable studio.
