The WWE Wrestling league is the modern version of the WWF that I grew up with. The WWE presents their RAW and Smackdown shows across America to wild fans that never seem to outgrow all the drama and characters that come and go from the league. Ticket prices to most shows are $20-$60 depending on the venue and who will be appearing. These days you are just as likely to see the WWE Divas as you are Kane or John Cena. The WWE does a great job of promoting their Pay Per View events like Summerslam and programs like WWE Vengeance, Judgement Day or Wrestlemania (they are up to Wrestlemania 22). Most cost about $40 to receive on your television. Since all the action is pretty much pre-planned in advance, you are assured a great show with lots of high flying stunts and fighting. WWE tickets and WWF Tickets are available online through Ticketmaster.com. Each week the WWE has their lineup of tv shows with RAW And Smackdown. The crowds at a wrestling event are similar to those at NASCAR events.
Merchandising is where the big bucks are with the WWE. They offer WWE action figures, toys, DVD's (the new Dusty Rhodes Story is awesome). The top 10 seller on WWEshop.com are D Generation X DVD Package ($26), Triple H King Of Kings T-shirt ($25), John Cena Hustle Loyalty T-shirt ($25), Dusty Rhodes T-shirt/DVD Package ($23), Eddie Guerrero EG Armband ($4), WrestleMania 22 DVD Three Disc DVD ($19), The Rise And Fall Of The ECW Book Package ($19), TOPPS WWE Heritage Chrome Cards ($3), WWE Wreckless Intent CD With Cena Signed Trading Card ($14), Melina Split Poster ($15).

WWE Smackdown - WWE Raw:
WWE RAW was developed as a weekly drama series for the wrestling fans across the country. Each week they have dramatic runins or matches between top wrestling stars on Monday night (USA Channel). WWE Smackdown is offered on Friday nights and draws huge ratings. It's amazing to me that after all these years, the wrestling leagues (all rehearsed) still get such large crowds. Wrestlers like Rey Mysterio, Kurt Angle, King Booker, and Sabu perform. WWE rumors are what make this league so exciting to the fans. Each week both the men and women get into altercations both verbal and physical to keep the fans on edge.
Top WWE Superstars - Lita - John Cena - Kane - Divas:
The one way to keep viewers coming back for more each week is to developed in depth stories and rumors that make it a real life drama. The character associated with all these storylines make or break viewership. In the last few years, more and more women wrestlers have been introduced into the league - they are the WWE Divas. The current WWE Divas are Ashley, Candice, Jilian, LIta, Lilian, Lita, Maria, Kristal, Melina, Mickie, Sharmell, Stacy, Torrie, Trish, and Victoria. Trust me, these girls are sexy, good looking and athletic, which helps keep the men watching every week. Of course the WWE has taken advantage of these girls in product sales with DVD's, sexy photos, calendars, trading cards, videos, music cd's. The top WWE male wrestlers are Kane, John Cena, Mikey, Mr McMahon, Stone Cold, The Rock, and Triple H.
