| WWE History and Champions List? |
Throughout its history, WWE has produced many legendary wrestlers and iconic moments. Here is a brief history of WWE and a list of some of its most notable champions:
WWE History:
The Capitol Wrestling Corporation (CWC) was founded in 1952 by Roderick McMahon and Jess McMahon. In 1963, Jess's son, Vincent J. McMahon, took over the company and renamed it the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF). Under his leadership, the WWWF became one of the most popular wrestling companies in the United States.
In 1980, Vincent J. McMahon's son, Vincent K. McMahon, bought the company from his father and changed its name to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). The 1980s and 1990s were a golden age for the WWF, with wrestlers such as Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Undertaker becoming household names.
In 2002, the company was renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) after a legal dispute with the World Wildlife Fund over the use of the WWF name. Since then, WWE has continued to produce some of the most popular wrestling events in the world, including WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble.
