World Wrestling Entertainment
WWE, is an American integrated media and entertainment company[8][9] that is primarily known
for professional wrestling. WWE has also branched out into other fields, including movies, real
estate, and various other business ventures.
The WWE name also refers to the professional wrestling promotion itself, founded by Jess
McMahon and Toots Mondt in 1952 as the Capitol Wrestling Corporation. As of 2018, it is the
largest wrestling promotion in the world, holding over 500 events a year, with the roster divided
up into various globally traveling brands,[10] and is available to about 36 million viewers in more
than 150 countries. The company's global headquarters is located in Stamford, Connecticut, with
offices in major cities across the world.[11][12]
The current entity, incorporated on February 21, 1980, was previously known as Titan Sports,
Inc., which was founded that same year in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. It acquired Capitol
Wrestling Corporation Ltd., the holding company for the World Wrestling Federation, in 1982.
Titan was renamed World Wrestling Federation, Inc. in 1998, then World Wrestling Federation
Entertainment, Inc. in 1999, and finally the current World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. in 2002.
Since 2011, the company has officially branded itself solely as WWE though the company's legal
name was not changed.
History
The World Wrestling Federation staged the first WrestleMania on March 31, 1985 at Madison
Square Garden in New York City. The main event was a tag-team match between the WWF
World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan and Mr. T, accompanied by Jimmy Snuka against
the team of Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff, who were accompanied by Cowboy Bob Orton. The
financial and critical success of the event secured the company's status as the most successful
promotion in the United States, rising above competitors such as the National Wrestling
Allianceand American Wrestling Association. In attendance were business celebrity Sy Sperling
and broadcasting executive Tony D'Angelo. WrestleMania 2 was held the following year and
took place in three venues across the country. The Nassau Veterans Memorial
Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, the Rosemont Horizon (now Allstate Arena) in
the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois, and the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in Los
Angeles. They each featured multiple matches that led up to the main event; this saw WWF
World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan defeat the challenger King Kong Bundy in a Steel
Cage match.
WrestleMania
Wretlemania is a professional wrestling event produced annually between mid-March to early
April by WWE, an American professional wrestling promotion based in Stamford, Connecticut.
WWE first produced the event in 1985 and has since produced 34 editions, with the most

flagship event, airs on pay-per-view (PPV) and WWE Network and is the most successful and
longest-running professional wrestling event in history. It contributes to the worldwide
commercial success of WWE through media, merchandise, and shows. WrestleMania was
conceptualized by WWE owner Vince McMahon and long time WWE ring announcer and Hall
