a decline in the popularity of our brand of sports entertainment;
the continued importance of key performers and the services of

competitive, rapidly changing and increasingly fragmented nature of
the markets in which we operate and greater financial resources or
marketplace presence of many of our competitors; uncertainties
associated with international markets; our difficulty or inability
to promote and conduct our live events and/or other businesses if
we do not comply with applicable regulations; our dependence on our
intellectual property rights, our need to protect those rights, and
the risks of our infringement of others’ intellectual property

McMahon exercising control over our affairs, and his interests may
conflict with the holders of our Class A common stock; a
substantial number of shares which are eligible for sale by the

those shares could lower our stock price; and the relatively small
public “float” of our Class A common stock. In addition, our
dividend is dependent on a number of factors, including, among
other things, our liquidity and cash flow, strategic plan
(including alternative uses of capital), our financial results and
condition, contractual and legal restrictions on the payment of
