Investors who are selling or shorting this stock must be focusing on the expiration of the WCW license. They look at that as a major loss of revenues (close to 2/3). I haven't played one of the wrestling games and I'm not knowledgable about the WCW and WWF but I would guess that the only thing that may be lost when THQ switches from WCW game to WWF game is some star recognition. How much better is a game going to sell when the "combatants" involved are from the WCW as opposed to the WWF? If graphics, action, format etc are the same except for the names of the characters I don't see them being any less popular. Of course I'm guessing because I really don't know the difference between the WCW and the WWF but maybe many of the kids buying these games don't know the difference either.
