As noted, Vince McMahon took part in this morning's fourth quarter 2016 earnings call. A caller noted that there appeared to be more fan interest going into this year's WrestleMania with the majority of the talent being healthy and "the Goldberg effect," which he said appeared to be driving a lot of the excitement. He asked if WWE could gauge the additional fan momentum for this year's WrestleMania and how it would affect Network subscriptions.

He said that the momentum is the result of the resolution of their storylines, and noted that there are shifts in momentum between pay-per-views, which is part of the business. He did believe that there was more momentum this year than last, noting that the fewer injuries has given them a larger talent pool for their storylines.
