WCCW MONTH IN REVIEW: JULY, 1983

POPULARITY

-Popularity in Texas 68.2% (Down from 69.9% last month)
-Popularity in Midwest 48.9% (Up from 46.9% last month)
-Popularity goal to get to or maintain Cult Status (53.1%) Another 2% gain in the midwest this month - that's lower than our 2.7% increase last month due to a couple of bad shows. So we're now 4.2% popularity in the midwest away from reaching Cult Status. Texas popularity drops another 1.7%, after dropping only 1.1% last month, and 1.6% the month before. So we still haven't stabilized our losses there.

FINANCES

Income (Last month in parenthesis):

Ticket Sales: 394,000 (351,064)
Sponsors: 15,523 (15,194)
Merchandise: 5,280 (4,920)

Expenses:

Worker Costs: 222,475 (166,150)
Show Costs: 79,500 (86,500)
Marketing: 500 (500)
Merchandise: 4,510 (4,240)
Production: 35,800 (35,800)
Misc: 1,000 (1,000)

Total Profit: $71,018 (76,988)
Cash in Bank: $1,074,993 (1,003,975)

-Another healthy profit this month, and we're still in an excellent financial position. We'll really benefit from all the cash on hand once we reach Cult Status, and once some of other companies start to go out of business. I won't make any dramatic financial changes this month, content to take make a $75k profit or so every month
-The biggest difference in the financial numbers from last month are the worker costs - up about 25%. Those costs are likely to keep going up, but one preventive measure I've considered is making the six-man tag title inactive. Those matches are never very highly rated, and they're damn expensive. Running one Freebirds v. Von Erichs match costs about $8,000. On the other hand, running a better-rated David v. Gordy match only costs $2,000. The other option is to keep the six-man tag title lower on the card, and give it to teams like Super Kendo & the Villanos.
