World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (1982-Present)
1980s wrestling boom
At the time of his purchase of the World Wrestling Federation, professional wrestling was a business run by regional offices; and the various promoters shared an understanding that they would not invade each other’s territories, as this practice had gone on undeterred for decades. The 1980s wrestling boom (sometimes referred to as the 2nd Golden Age of Wrestling) was a surge in the popularity of Professional wrestling in the United States Vince McMahon Jr. had a different vision of what the industry could become, and one of his first actions as WWF owner was to secede from the National Wrestling Alliance, which was the governing body for all the regional territories. The National Wrestling Alliance ( NWA) is the largest governing body for a group of independent Professional wrestling promotions and sanctions various NWA McMahon also preferred a shift in the business from one of perceived violence to exaggerated storylines that attracted mainstream audiences; and he coined the term “sports entertainment” as a way to separate his product from his more traditional counterparts. [2]
He began expanding the company nationally by promoting in areas outside of the company's Northeast U. S. stomping grounds and by signing talent from other companies such as the American Wrestling Association (AWA) for instance. The American Wrestling Association (AWA was an American Professional wrestling promotion based in Minneapolis Minnesota that ran from 1960 In 1984, he recruited Hulk Hogan to be the WWF’s charismatic new megastar, and the two quickly drew the ire of industry peers as the promotion began traveling and broadcasting into rival territories. Terrance "Terry" Gene Bollea (born August 11 1953 better known by his Ring name Hulk Hogan, is an American Actor, and retired professional Nevertheless, McMahon (who still also fronted as the WWF’s squeaky clean babyface announcer) was fearless in the face of opposition; and he created The Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection by incorporating pop music stars into wrestling storylines. The 1980s wrestling boom (sometimes referred to as the 2nd Golden Age of Wrestling) was a surge in the popularity of Professional wrestling in the United States As a result, the WWF was able to expand its fanbase into a national mainstream audience as the promotion was featured heavily on MTV programming. MTV ( Music Television) is an American Cable television network based in New York City. McMahon was planting the seeds for an industry explosion; on March 31, 1985, he promoted the first WrestleMania to be held at Madison Square Garden while airing on closed circuit TV throughout the U. Events 307 - After divorcing his wife Minervina, Constantine marries Fausta, the daughter of the retired Roman Emperor Year 1985 ( MCMLXXXV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link displays 1985 Gregorian calendar) WrestleMania (chronologically known as WrestleMania I) was the first WrestleMania Professional wrestling event produced by the World Wrestling Madison Square Garden, often abbreviated as MSG, and known colloquially as The Garden, has been the name of four Arenas in New York City. S. Though WrestleMania was not the sport’s first supercard, McMahon looked to break the industry mold when he stacked the internationally-promoted event with celebrities, including Mr. T, Cyndi Lauper, Muhammad Ali, Billy Martin, Liberace, and The Rockettes in an attempt to gain unprecedented publicity for the WWF. Mr T (born Laurence Tureaud; May 21 1952) is an American Actor known for his roles as Sgt Cynthia Ann Stephanie "Cyndi" Lauper (born June 22 1953 is an American Grammy - and Emmy award winning Singer-songwriter and Biography Early life Cassius Clay Jr was born on January 17 1942 Alfred Manuel "Billy" Martin Jr ( May 16 1928 &ndash December 25 1989) was an American Second baseman and Wladziu Valentino Liberace He had a twin who died at birth and he was born with a Caul, which in his family as in many societies was taken as a sign of genius and an exceptional The Rockettes are a well-known precision dance company out of the Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan, New York City. McMahon poured most of his funds into marketing the event, thus risking everything in an attempt for unbridled dominance; and in spite of several sabotage efforts by rivals, WrestleMania was an undisputed success. As a result, the WWF thus stood head and shoulders above all its competition, and Hulk Hogan soon became a full-fledged pop-culture icon and child role model. [2]
This led to what has been considered a "Golden Age of Wrestling" with WWF seeing increased mainstream exposure, TV ratings, and house show gates all throughout the rest of the decade. During the late 1980s, McMahon shaped the WWF into a unique sports entertainment brand that reached out to family audiences while attracting fans who had never before paid attention to pro wrestling. However, it was McMahon’s introduction of closed-circuit technology and pay-per-view television that would establish his reputation as a marketing visionary. By directing his storylines towards highly-publicized supercards, McMahon initiated a brand-new revenue stream by promoting these events live on PPV television, a concept that would completely revolutionize event programming for all sports while catapulting the WWF into a multi-million dollar empire. Before long, WWF's Saturday Night's Main Event even occasionally supplanted Saturday Night Live in several highly-rated NBC broadcasts; and in 1987, McMahon drew 93,173 fans to the Pontiac Silverdome (Which was called the "biggest crowd in Sports entertainment history") for WrestleMania III, which featured the blockbuster main event of Hulk Hogan vs. Saturday Night Live ( SNL) is a weekly late-night 90-minute American Sketch comedy / Variety show based in New York City The National Broadcasting Company ( NBC) is an American Television network headquartered in the GE Building in New York City's The Pontiac Silverdome is a Domed Stadium in Pontiac, Michigan, a Satellite city of Detroit.

1990s Attitude Era
After several years struggling behind Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling (WCW), McMahon cemented his place as the industry’s preeminent promoter in the late 1990s, when he initiated an entirely new brand strategy that would eventually return the WWF to prominence. Robert Edward "Ted" Turner III (born November 19, 1938) is an American Media proprietor and philanthropist. Sensing a public shift towards a more hardened and cynical fan base, McMahon redirected storylines towards a more adult-oriented model. The concept became known as WWF Attitude, and McMahon personally commenced the new era when he manipulated the WWF Championship away from Bret Hart at Survivor Series 1997 in what is now infamously known as the "Montreal Screwjob.

Brock Edward Lesnar (born July 12 1977 in Webster South Dakota) is an American mixed martial artist with the UFC as well as a former professional Rena Mero Lesnar (born Rena Greek August 8 1967 is an American model actress, and former professional wrestler. McMahon is the on-screen character of Vince McMahon, with the gimmick of an often egotistical heel boss. In Professional wrestling, a heel is a Villain character In non-wrestling jargon heels are the "bad guys" in pro wrestling storylines. The character spawned from the real-life hatred many wrestling fans had for McMahon following the Montreal Screwjob, the 1997 Survivor Series incident with Bret Hart. The Montreal Screwjob was the real life double-crossing of defending WWF Champion Bret Hart by Vince McMahon, the owner of the [6]
Although Mr. McMahon was loathed for his actions as the evil owner of the WWF, the character proved to be one of the most memorable heels in professional wrestling history. Despite Mr. McMahon's evil intentions, many fans continue to respect the character for its history, particularly with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who was Mr. McMahon's nemesis at the character's apex. Much to Mr. McMahon's horror, "Stone Cold" was announced to return and was the special guest referee at the "Battle of the Billionaires" match at WrestleMania 23.

Several other gimmicks have become integral parts of McMahon's on-camera persona, such as his throaty exclamation of "You're fired!", and his "power walk" - an over-exaggerated strut towards the ring, swinging his arms and bobbing his head from side to side in a cocky manner. This is usually accompanied by a comment from Jim Ross, such as "There's only one man I know that walks like that.

McMahon in the USWA (1993)
While the Mr. McMahon character marked the first time that McMahon had been portrayed as a heel in WWE, in 1993, McMahon was engaged in a bitter feud with Jerry Lawler as part of a cross-promotion between the World Wrestling Federation and the United States Wrestling Association. Jerry Lawler (born November 29 1949 is an American Musician, Film Actor, Politician, professional wrestler and wrestling The United States Wrestling Association or USWA was a Professional wrestling promotional organization based in Memphis Tennessee. In Memphis, Tennessee (where the USWA was produced), Lawler was seen as a major babyface character (as opposed to his WWF persona which was seen as a cowardly heel), whereas McMahon was seen as a smug heel (similar to the "Mr. Memphis is a City in the southwest corner of Tennessee, and the County seat of Shelby County. McMahon" character) to the Memphis audience, hell-bent on dethroning Lawler as the "king of professional wrestling. " As part of the angle, McMahon would send various WWF wrestlers down to Memphis in order to achieve such a goal, such as Bret "Hitman" Hart, Owen "Rocket" Hart, Giant Gonzalez, "War Eagle" Tatanka and "Macho Man" Randy Savage (all of whom were seen as heels in Memphis as well). Bret Sergeant Hart (born July 2 1957 is a retired Canadian professional wrestler and Actor. Owen James Hart (May 7 1965 – May 23 1999 As those attempts were unsuccessful he decided to give wrestling a chance and see where it took him Tatanka (born Christopher Chavis on June 8, 1965) is a Native American professional wrestler best known for his work with World Randall Mario Poffo (born November 15 1952) a 1 time Intercontinental Champion He is a graduate of Downers Grove North High School This angle also proved to be the first time that McMahon would physically interject himself into matches, as he would occasionally trip Lawler or throw punches at him while seated at ringside. The peak of the angle came with Tatanka defeating Lawler to win the Unifed World Championship with McMahon gloating at Lawler while wearing the championship belt. The USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship is a Professional wrestling championship formed in 1988 when Jerry Lawler defeated Curt Hennig [23] However, the angle came to an abrupt end when Jerry Lawler was accused of raping a young girl in Memphis and he and the WWF parted ways. It is interesting to note, however, that during the angle, McMahon was never directly acknowledged as the owner of the WWF (back in 1993, McMahon was only portrayed as the head announcer on television) and the feud between Lawler and McMahon was not acknowledged on WWF television, as the two continued to provide commentary together (along with Savage) for the television show Superstars. WWF Superstars of Wrestling was a Professional wrestling program that debuted on September 6, 1986 and was aired until 2001. The feud between Lawler and McMahon would also help build towards Lawler's matches against Bret Hart at SummerSlam 1993[24] and Survivor Series 1993 (which ultimately did not take place). SummerSlam (1993 was the sixth annual SummerSlam Professional wrestling Pay-per-view (PPV event produced by the World Wrestling Federation Survivor Series (1993 was the seventh annual Survivor Series Pay-per-view Professional wrestling event produced by the World Wrestling Federation
