First and foremost, Forbes SportsMoney praised the WWE greatly due to it's Internet savvy and potential growth opportunities. They own all live copyrights and intellectual properties. And that is making Forbes feel that they are in a massive upswing going into their TV licensing dealings.
In talking about WWE's TV Licensing deal coming up, Forbes mentioned that due to WWE's background being the top show on every network they are on, that this helps them in going into a 2014 market place where WWE will have everything they need to get noticed by major distributors.
Forbes feels that they could do potential 7 times more than their 140 million when they re-sign. They also have the fact that Google and Netflix both want extra sports programming as well. So WWE could, in turn, put out material on both Google and Netflix or use this as a tactic to make more from networks.
WWE is expected to sign with NBC Universal once more, and NBC greatly wants the product. But this could also help WWE Network. They could want the Network under the NBC Universal banner and could make this part of their deal with NBC. We could potentially see more WWE on the NBC Network, as well as more potential WWE products on other NBC networks.
In the end, WWE could actually have a billion dollar TV deal PER YEAR if they sign for what Forbes believes they could be worth. On top of that, they'd be able to do other ventures that they have wanted to do for some time.
