Submitted by Ben Johnson on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 at 2:34 PM EST


• The following are notes from Linda McMahon's conference call with investors for WWE's fourth fiscal quarter:
  
  - WWE has no plans to introduce more mixed-brand PPVs and is still hoping its new "double-PPV month" philosophy will catch on, although Linda admitted such a philosophy is only in "testing" right now.
  
  - Both WWE and Viacom are interested in renewing the deal to air RAW on Spike TV once it expires in 2005.
  
  - The Diva Search was heavily put over as a WWE take on American Idol; it will even get its own July 15 special. WWE hopes it will be a big opportunity to draw ratings.
  
  - WWE will have its own "election" in November to name a storyline president of SmackDown! and RAW.
  
  - In October, WWE will tape some RAW and SD! episodes in the UK.
  
  - Tough Enough segments will be added to SmackDown! later this year; the plan is to help develop new stars.
  
  - WWE will be working with different "major studios" for its upcoming WWE Films projects, including a horror and action film.
