Its beginnings
Vincent Kennedy McMahon, born in North Carolina, made the military academy “Fishburne Military School” with Waynesboro, Virginia, the United States, where he became the first junior by the history of the school to being a translator in situation of war. He graduated at the University of the Caroline of the East (East Carolina University) in 1968 with a diploma in administration/marketing.
Vince grew in Vinni Luption. His/her mother Victoria “Vicki” Luption remariée herself after its first marriage with the promoter of fight Vincent James McMahon failed during the second world war. Vince also has a half-brother Rodney McMahon, who works in Texas.
Vince did not know his/her biological father Vincent James McMahon before the 12 years age. Living in roulotte with Havelock, North Carolina, the United States, he knew only one abusive father until time that his/her mother reveals that his/her father was Vincent J. McMahon. The company of McMahon, the WWWF (World Wide Wrestling Federation) and the company of his/her parents Capitol Wrestling Corporation dominated the professional fight in the North-East of the United States during the Fifties.
His/her father was ready to lay out with his son and then to give him the chance to be a salesman traveller with Bangor, Maine. In 1971, Vince made its first promotion of fight. In 1972, in addition to making promotion, Vince was commentator play-by-play for the WWWF, but promotion was its principal interest.
Its career
Its beginnings
During the Seventies, Vince became an important point in the company of his/her father and it pushed it to change the name of the company for World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Vince was also behind the combat between Ali and Antonio Inoki in 1976, the year when Stephanie was born. In 1979, the WWWF became the WWF and Vince bought the Cape Cod Coliseum, where it will be held henceforth of hockey and the fight. In 1980, it incorporated Titan Sports Inc., which goes bought Capitol Wrestling Corporation of his/her father in 1982.
Against the wishes of his/her father, Vince began a national expansion which basically will change the company. In 1983, Vince had the total control and the property of the WWF and the future directions, having bought all the actions of the former partner of its father, Gorilla Monsoon. By buying the actions, Vince promised in Monsoon an use with life and Monsoon remained affiliated with the WWF until its death. The father of Vince is deceased in 1984, leaving it to his son to continue to make progress the fight. The first thing which it made as a single owner of the WWF was to separate National Wrestling Alliance, to have a vision again since the promotion of national fight was incompatible with old the philosophy of promotions.
In the film Rocky III, Hulk Hogan started to extend its celebrity and it returned with the new WWF of Vince McMahon. Hogan gained the WWF Championship on January 23rd, 1984, a few week after its return, and McMahon helped it to immerse the media as a good guy pro-American. McMahon did not stop there, by inviting stars of the rock'n'roll and the pop one like Alice Cooper and Cyndi Lauper to be taken part in stories of the WWF which will be called the “Rock'n'roll “Wrestling Connection”. The popularity of the WWF increased out of arrow, so much that MTV incorporated fight in its programs to follow the exploits of the stars of the music as well as the other celebrities in the world of the fight. McMahon incorporated incorporated in the fight of other types of entertainments, such as the music and films of sports. With Hulk Hogan as a fighter and McMahon as a promoter, both worked to take the professional fight at places that nobody would imagine it.
At the same time, McMahon publicly acknowledged the secrecy behind the fight, the fact that the fight is arranged. He acknowledged that the results are predetermined, that the movements are provided and that the fighters play a part just like the actors of Hollywood. This plublic advertisement broke the old manners of the fight and McMahon gained more angers towards the partisans “old-school”, fighters and promoters. Then, the champion of the NWA Harley Turnip, emitted frustations towards McMahon and the WWF. On the other hand, Race made the jump with the WWF and became the “King” Harley Race.
The culmination of the Rock'n'roll “Wrestling Connection was not very first the WrestleMania in Madison Square Garden with New York. McMahon made promotion of it through the country through completed televised (the pay-per-view did not exist yet), by paying all its resources in the event. WrestleMania was a success and has résou financial problems. The event became an annual event held each March or April. McMahon has to succeed successes while launching other statement such as Survivor Series, SummerSlam in 1988 and Royal Rumble in 1989. The WrestleMania event was so popular that in WrestleMania III, there was a crowd of 93,173 partisans.
McMahon ventured out of the fight by melting a company of body-building called World Bodybuilding Federation (WBF). At the same time, McMahon had problems with the NWA and its statement.
Around 1992, the things started to change. The WBF left a business on the fact that the fighters of McMahon used steroids. In 1994, the things started to turn in favor of the WCW, especially when they signed Hulk Hogan.
McMahon was tested in 1994 while being made show distrivuer steroids with its fighters. In a legal movement, his Linda wife was named CEO during this moment. He was discharged loads later while admittant which he already took itself of the steroids in the Eighties. Hulk Hogan remained its star #1 and its testimony in the test severely damaged the friendship between the two though the testimony of Hogan defended McMahon. After the testimony of Hogan, McMahon was in front of the media by declaring that he would like that Hogan did not lie for him. It parrait that the comment of McMahon was to try to reason Hogan before it has with the WCW. In spite of that, the WWF took several blows with the figure. Popularity quickly fell starting from this point, at the point to have ideas null and combat annoying during the absence of Vince.
Mr. McMahon
In 1997, the WWF and its emission Monday Night RAW with the USA Network lost considerably spectators vis-a-vis the WCW and their new emission WCW Monday Nitro, diffused for the first time in September 1995. In spite of the fact that the spectators wanted less gimmicks such as The Patriot and Doink the Clown, McMahon resisted and the products of the WWF continued to go down. The partisans are pilot adventures of McMahon, which was rather recognized like an advertiser “face” that the owner of the WWF, although it did not have a secrecy to make. It “wasted” the career of Bret Hart with the WWF while stealing to him the title of the WWF in spite of an prior agreement (Montreal Screwjob). Vince made a “turn heel” for the first time. After Survivor Series of 1997 and its participation in Montreal Screwjob, McMahon formed part of the show with a character of owner with horns: “Mr. McMahon”. It mixed with the stories and the businesses with the favorite fighters. It possibly put stars “heel” in the Corporation, which led to a McMahon competition against Austin. One saw Steve Austin launching challenges to the authority of Vince each week to RAW. Following its events, the company started to find audience. During the summer 1998, the WWF joined the WCW in term of audience and is never gone down again. As heel and a face, the character of Mr. McMahon plays a big role with the camera while competing with stars like The Undertaker, The Rock and Triple H. The stories even placed it as a WWE Champion. They have égalemet have a war of family between Stephanie, Shane, Linda and Vince.
A new millenium and birth of the WWE
In 1999, McMahon took the public of the WWF: the McMahon family received the majority of the votes. Forbes placed its net amount at $700 million.
In 2001, the company created a professional league of football while joining NBC: the XFL. The league went bankrupt after only one season. NBC and the WWF lost more than 30 million dollars. Also in 2001, the face of the American fight changed when the WWF bought its rivals of long time, the World Championship Wrestling. AOL Time Warner and the head office of the WCW looked at to reduce its costs of operation dramatically. Vince then bought the rights on the Extreme Championship Wrestling like its video bookstore. With its purchases, the WWE becomes only the large organization of fight in North America. McMahon was only until 2002, when the promoter and former fighter of the WWF and the WCW Jeff Jarrett, in company of father Jerry Jarrett, one created the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
In May 2002, the company had to change name following continuations of the World Wildlife Fund for the use of the WWF. The company thus changed name for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Possibly, McMahon engaged its former rival, the former president of the WCW Eric Bischoff, to play the General Manager of RAW on television.
Return to the camera
After competitions against Ric Sense of smell, the return of Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker, the character of Vince to the camera was decreased during two years. However, Vince quietly took again its role after WWE Homecoming. This time, it is combined with Shane, Linda and Stephanie. It then had a competition with Steve Austin. Little time afterwards, it has party a competition with Shawn Michaels and possibly Triple H, which made reappear the D-Generation X. During this competition, he said that Michaels was saved destruction with WrestleMania 22 by God and it formed his own religion (McMahonism). He was then implied in references such as the General Manager of RAW Eric Bischoff and Jim Ross. Since returns of Bischoff, Vince ensures the post of General Manager of RAW, but it has its executive assistant on the other hand Jonathan Coachman. At the beginning of 2007, it begins a strong competition vis-a-vis the real estate agent Donald Trump. What involved a match Billonar vs Billionar in Manager match (Vince Mc Mahon was with Umaga and Donald Trump with Bobby Lashley), Hair vs Hair (the manager losing was made shave the head by the victorious manager), Special Referee (" Stone Cold" Steve Austin was the referee) with WrestleMania 23. At the end of the match, Bobby Lashley gains the match vis-a-vis Umaga (what makes only the third defeat of the Intercontinental Champion in 1 year (It lost 2 match of continuation vis-a-vis John Cena with New Years Revolution and Royal Rumble)) and Vince Mc Mahon was made shave the head by Donald Trump, Bobby Lashley and " Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
With Backlash 2007, Vince, Shane McMahon and Umaga demolish the champion of ECW Bobby Lashley, in spite of a resistance of Bobby Lashley, it is exhausted following the splash of the native making it possible the chairman to cover the all-in wrestler of ECW for the victory and of course the belt. June 3rd, it loses this belt and starts to become insane by this loss (storyline). It went even until slapping Santino Marella whereas it protected Maria and insulted the brothers Hardy and Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch
Distort dead of Vince McMahon
June 11th, 2007, during an episode of Raw, it leaves the arena and at the time when it enters its limousine, this one explodes and it is declared died. It is of course about a storyline to withdraw the character of Vince McMahon of the emissions of the WWE. Moreover, one sees the foot of Vince Mc Mahon to arise by behind. The WWE plays so much with this history which them Internet site speaks only about that, of the homages are returned with ECW and Smackdown, the American media are put in the blow and a press conference is organized by the McMahon family.
