WWE official claims MMA isn't a threat because the sport lacks real stars
Jun 9, 2009 - 05:44 PM


WWE COO Donna Goldsmith spoke at the Noble Financial Emerging Growth Equity Conference on Tuesday. Devin Cutting of ProwrestlingEvents.tk passed along the following notes regarding her presentation.

-Donna claimed that the last five WrestleManias drew over a million buys each.

-She said that WWE is now hoping to tour China in 2011.

-Donna stated that MMA isn't much of a threat to WWE because MMA doesn't have real stars or storylines. "Somebody gets knocked out and they're hurt and that may be the last you ever see from them again," she said while adding that WWE can repackage it's superstars.

-She mentioned that WWE is working on extending one of it's TV deals in Mexico.

Powell's POV: I understand the company's line that being a scripted show gives them advantages, but the line about MMA not having stars is ridiculous. If that's the case, then why do UFC pay-per-views draw better numbers than most WWE events? You can check out her presentation by clicking here.
