3. "On Sale"

Whenever the promotion pimp a sale on their WWE Shop website, they never tend to use the phrase, "on sale now". That's deliberate; since 2008, Vince has specified that anyone talking about products the customer base can buy should use, "now available" instead.

It's subtle psychology.

By telling people that WWE have a sale on, Vince perhaps feels his company look like they're struggling to shift items. Rather than suggest that, he wants to make it seem like WWE goods are in demand and things fans (sorry you) must have.
