The news: World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Rises 4% After CEO Vince McMahon Says On Fast Money That 1.5M Will Watch WrestleMania
The word: Jeff Macke points out that WrestleMania has been losing viewers for the last couple years. It averaged around 1 million in 2005 and a little less last year. Wrestling viewers generate "high gravity revenues," and much of that revenue goes straight to the company's bottom line. A million and a half viewers would be huge for WrestleMania and WWE stock.

The word: Tim Strazzini liked Walgreen (WAG) last summer and he still likes it here, but he admits they are in a tight spot. Caremark said a while ago they were looking to be acquired then CVS (CVS) said it needed Caremark for growth and increased operating margins. If Walgreen wants to compete, Tim says, it needs to acquire either Medco (MHS) or Express Scripts (ESRX). Its stores are doing great - but the stock needs to catch up.
