EB: That’s the six hundred million dollar question (laughs). I think we’ll probably find out in the next 2-3 years if I was a betting man. I would bet that in the next two to three years we will find out what the business implications will be because that’s the direction it’s going. That’s a lot of television licensing revenue to walk away from but once the WWE Network reaches a critical mass that will support that decision I am almost certain that is what we will see.
