-Vince said Wrestlemania was a huge success with nearly 77.000 attendees and over 140 worldwide trends on Twitter. 

-Vince said that the Network is now at 1.3 million subscribers and WrestleMania’s driving numbers contributed largely to that number.

-Vince described the new “Camp WWE” series as “Think South Park with WWE….with WWE Superstars as children….at camp.”

-The Johnny Knoxville “Swerved” series will be a practical jokes show with pranks pulled on WWE personalities. Vince added this was a series concept they had discussed doing for some time.

-The new Diva Search series will be exclusive to the WWE Network.  Vince passed it over to George Barrios who began reading from a prepared statement.  Barrios said the series will “span the globe” to find the next Diva.

-Barrios said they will be adding another 1,000 hours of VOD material to the Network.

-77% of the free subscribers in February turned into paid subscribers for March.

They are doing a promotion where if you sign up for the Network in April, you will get April for free and not be charged until May.

As of now, WWE’s long-term goal is to get to 3-4 million subscribers.
