It's just a rumor, but it wouldn't surprise me with the launch of WWE Network on the way. http://www.newsforshoppers.com/will-directv-drop-wwe-pay-per-views/36717438/
I might be wrong, but I think the UFC is earning them much more in PPV than wrestling. In 2012 the wwe only sold 2.3 million ppvs in all of North America, the UFC sold 5.7 million ppvs that year. not sure if 2013 number are available yet to compare last year.They have quietly backed off that threat. I think they understand that the WWE PPV's are the biggest part of their PPV earnings.
I enjoyed the hell out of it in the 90's and early 00's. I tried watching it recently, what a stank-fest. I miss the WCW vs WWF days, man that was fun.
