WWE CEO Vince McMahon commented on Thursday’s early downturn during the company’s quarterly conference call. McMahon said WWE management was thrilled about their business position, but some investors “obviously were not.”

“In general we are thrilled with our 2015 performance, although some investors apparently are not based on where we are valuation wise. Nonetheless we are thrilled with it and proud at the moment,” was McMahon’s exact quote from the conference call transcript.
