WWE Campaign Thread: Because Vince McMahon Would Want Us To Have Our Board Back!
Welcome to the WWE Campaign Thread We deserve to get our board back! In 1980, the son of Vincent J. McMahon, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, founded Titan Sports, Inc. and in 1982 purchased Capitol Wrestling Corporation from his father. The elder McMahon had long since established the northeastern territory as one of the most vibrant members of the NWA. He had long since recognized that professional wrestling was more about entertainment than actual sport. Against his father's wishes, McMahon began an expansion process that fundamentally changed the sport.Other promoters were furious when McMahon began syndicating WWF television shows to television stations across the United States, in areas outside of the WWF's traditional northeastern stronghold. McMahon also began selling videotapes of WWF events outside the Northeast through his Coliseum Video distribution company. He effectively broke the unwritten law of regionalism around which the entire industry had been based. To make matters worse, McMahon used the income generated by advertising, television deals, and tape sales to poach talent from rival promoters. Wrestling promoters nationwide were now in direct competition with the WWF.

You can add me... I've missed visiting that board, especially since I'm able to watch wrestling a bit more regularly now.

I guess just WWE .. I don't know if we can talk about TNA etc. as well
Adding you! I think WCW could be branded into it too seeing as Vince took over. __________________

On the old board, IIRC, it was headed WWE, but it was anything wrestling, really. TNA had its own thread, etc..

Cool I'm sure we can make it overall a "wrestling" board.

I'm in. But if this is going to be on the Special Requests poll, I'll just be here to support it (there's another campaign I'm running for that one).
Yeah, I miss that board too. It was one of the very few boards that I first posted on. |
