Does WWE Have Any Ric Flair Plans?, WWE Finances & More

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter
- This week's edition of ECW on Sci-Fi scored a 1.1 cable rating.
- Vince McMahon's dividend for WWE's first quarter this year was $11,451,255. Altogether, the company paid out $20,454,000 in dividends to all of their shareholders including McMahon.
- People recently spoke to Triple H regarding Ric Flair and were told that right now WWE has no plans to use Flair on TV. As noted before, WWE hasn't offered Flair a contract after he pulled out of his ROH deal, despite what's going around. Something could come up where WWE has something for him, maybe even a General Manager spot, but there are business reasons they don't want to sign Flair for, largely because they don't want anyone under contract where they can't have full control over their bookings.
- Here's the official announcement from Dragon Gate USA on Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler:
Dragon Gate USA is thrilled to welcome two WWE Hall Of Famers when Highspots presents Jerry "The King" Lawler & Jim Ross for an autograph signing at the September 6th Chicago DGUSA event at the historic Congress Theater. You must buy a ticket for the 9/6 event to get into the autograph signing. Tickets are available in the www.DGUSA.tv Store section. Autograph tickets for Ross & Lawler are available at www.Highspots.com, which is the leading MMA and pro wrestling merchandise superstore on the internet.
Ross & Lawler will meet the fans and sign autographs before the DGUSA show. The Windy City is a special place for these true legends. Both men were inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame together in Chicago during 2006. This is a very rare opportunity to meet Jim Ross and get autographs from both members of one of the greatest broadcast duos in wrestling history. To add to the convention atmosphere, former WWE Diva Dawn Marie will also be signing autographs. Don't forget, if you purchase a Golden Ringside ticket you will also be admitted into a Meet & Greet with the stars of Dragon Gate. You won't be able to meet this array of talent anywhere else.
