WWE- The Beginning

By Wanda Rosner


There are lot of wrestling fans that you can find in and around the world but there are very few of them who actually know how it started. The beginning marks way back in 1925 when Roderick McMahon began promoting boxing matches in the city of New York. He came to acknowledge Joseph Mondt, who was a professional wrestler and was making effort to take sports to another level. He made out new moves, found wrestlers that wanted to join him and started making wrestling a more viewable sport.

According to recent statistics the WWE Corporation is the largest wrestling promotion in the world, which holds more than three hundred events in a year. It has more around 40 million fans around the world and is viewed in almost 150 countries. It has its headquarters at Connecticut and its offices in many major countries around the world.

The NWA got an undisputed World Heavy Weight championship that went to several other wrestling companies in the alliance. The championship was defended around the world. Now the NWA only chose good fighters as champions, so to give their worked sport credibility. They have made a strong business in the Middle West which was also the core of the alliance. The wrestlers gained interest in the Capitol territory.

The WWE first came into existence in 1989 by its founder Vince McMahon just to avoid the taxes that were charged by the athletic commissions. It promoted their product as a sports entertainment, which provided information about the use of the products in competitive sports and dramatic theatre.

WWE is considered to be one of the biggest organisations in the world of multimedia and entertainment. McMahons also share a major part of WWE economic interest. Having the highest number of shares of WWE, McMahons manage the company accordingly on their own.

Later Vincent McMahon became the only head of the WWWF in 60's just after the retirement of Mondt. McMahon was also one of the board of directors of the NWA, also there were several matches held between the NWA and the WWWF champions. However, most of the matches ended without showing any results.

After few years it was the company's name was again changed to World wrestling federation or the WWF and it came completely under the control of Vincent J McMahon. The following year his son brought in the Titan Sports and along with it he also bought Capitol Sports and its assets which included WWF too. Vincent j McMahon wanted to keep focusing the WWF towards the north-eastern region, his son wanted to do something else and he started expanding WWF.

The WWE Corporation also launched their online streaming network where all the matches were documented and kept for viewers to watch them; it also allowed live streaming for matches held. They were able to get a lot of subscribers from this and it was the largest ever subscription. WWE uses several terms for defining there products such as the fans are termed as WWE Universe, the male wrestlers are termed as the WWE superstars and the female Wrestlers are known as the WWE Divas.
