Mr. McMahon (Netflix Documentary Series)

The Man, The Myth, The Legend, And The Fall

[reelvibes91]

Thoughts after watching Mr. McMahon

This one won't be a traditional review of sorts that people have come to expect from me. Recently, Netflix released Mr. McMahon a look into the mind of the most recognized face in the wrestling business.

Netflix decided throughout the documentary that they wanted to reiterate that almost all of this documentary was made before the major allegations against Vince in 2022. That felt a little bit like a cop out at times. For me instantly, that is the story. It is how Vince will be remembered now, and there is no way around it. It basically made the serious accusations levied against Vince feel like just another throwaway moment in the life of an eccentric billionaire.

They immediately can say well we addressed it with the little blurb saying that the events within the 6 episodes are now skewed. Yet they awkwardly chose to edit one of the very first sentences of the documentary to essentially be Vince saying "I wish we could talk about things but I have to be silent."

The issue that arises from that is at what point in the process did Vince say that? Was it a harmless throwaway when asked about locker room talk? Was it in a means to try and get him to elaborate on the known affairs that he himself made public.

While personally I won't go as far as to say Bruce Prichard is right when saying this doesn't paint the portrayal of Vince, it certainly allowed too much of Vince to keep speaking while their was damning evidence mounted against him over the last two years. They should have switched the focus of the documentary when that information came out. They should have made it life with vs life without Vince. Of course, we still don't know exactly what long-term life without him looks like, but we should have had more superstars interviewed about how they felt. These were people who clearly prior to the allegations coming out that were still trying to blur the lines between reality and fiction. Including Vince himself. It casts shadows on most of the people who worked so closely with Vince over the years. It made the Mr. McMahon character the center piece of a story that is about real-life debauchery and trying to get away with it.

It felt like the real story here, which was the deaths of Owen Hart, Chris Benoit, and Ashley Massaro, were simply glossed over because while making the documentary, they still wanted to paint Vince as this creative mastermind. As said both are true. He did this. He brought this to life but there should be no celebrating the man that brought his real life depravity to the screen.

After Janel Grant filed her lawsuit, the entire focus of this documentary should have changed. There was truly never a Mr. McMahon character and if seeing the way he treated Ashley in one scene they used didn't leave you feeling sad and lost then this documentary failed to highlight the true nature of how evil and vile this man could be. It should have been about why one person controlling so much of one entity is never a good thing. Vince McMahon is the ultimate definition of power, corrupting the mind and having your way in life because you feel untouchable. If nothing else, please let this documentary serve as a means to let young women and men know that money never gives a person the right to dominate you.

I'm only two episodes in to the Mr. McMahon documentary, but as a thirty-year wrestling fan, let me assure you that it is impossible to overstate what an actual piece of living human shit Vincent Kennedy McMahon is.

[saturatedsinset]

realized the other day that my first ever exposure to bryan danielson was the build to kofimania. where my friends (and the program itself) explained to me, a new wrestling fan, the importance of kofi kingston and the ways in which black wrestlers had historically been kept down, and the general history of the new day. and obviously the story itself was really good and very moving. kofimania was the first wrestlemania I watched live. but what I did not have context for was who bryan was, and what his story and career trajectory were. so I was watching. a black man. get routinely mocked and called a b-plus player by a white man standing next to vincent kennedy mcmahon junior. I think a lot of wrestling fans who have been wrestling fans for a long time (and i include in this both fans and like. the people writing the stories. tony khan, vince, hhh, etc) take certain people's importance and trajectories for granted - punk, bryan, even joe, to some extent - and kind of forget that the people coming to wrestling later on do not have the same emotional connection to these men even if those newer fans now understand why these people are so important. and I think a big part of why bryan winning the world title at all in rubs me the wrong way is that it really heavily relies on that taken-for-granted connection. from twenty years ago.

The Voodoo Kin Mafia or VKM for short…was a direct jab at Brian and Kip’s former employer Vincent Kennedy McMahon. A name thought up by Russo. VKM had a gimmick where they had complete creative control over their characters and would go into business for themselves. The first order of VKM’s business was to call out McMahon and the newly reformed D-X in WWE.

While Russo created the name and the gimmick…..Brian and Kip used a lot of their past experiences in the WWF/WWE to cut scathing promos on McMahon, but especially on both Triple H and Shawn Michaels who Voodoo Kin Mafia called out by their real names. Admittedly at the time, both Brian and Kip were still using drugs in TNA and felt that WWE was to blame for them being fired and not themselves. The Voodoo Kin Mafia declared “war” on WWE and in particular D-X who VKM felt were nothing without them.

What I want to know is who knew what when and for how long they knew it.

Because this is not new behaviour; this story is not ‘local honest businessman suddenly turns into monster after separation from wife,’ this story is ‘Vincent Kennedy McMahon is the devil incarnate and always has been.’

People knew. Hell, there were probably employees whose entire jobs was covering UP what people knew. That khan motherfucker? Trips? Steph? Who knew what, how much did they know, how long did they know it and condone it and/or choose to pretend it wasn’t happening. There is a wide gulf of difference between talent who didn’t really have anywhere else to go electing to put rumour out of their minds so they could continue feeding their kids, and the motherfuckers in the office right next door recieving enormous salaries while convienently failing to notice the gang rape taking place on the other side of the wall.

Triple H to CM Punk: "WWE Only has Room for One Delusional Narcissist and His Name is Vincent Kennedy McMahon."

The role the Best in the World would normally fill in a wrestling promotion has already been taken by a guy with questionable taste in mustaches.

After CM Punk was politely asked to leave AEW and never come back again for no apparent reason, the former champion may be looking for a new old home to go back to. Wrestling "journalists" are speculating wildly that CM Punk may return to WWE.

But according to Triple H, who fills every WWE management role that actually does useful work, the company already has someone who occupies CM Punk's niche. That man's name is Vincent Kennedy McMahon, and Hunter says Vince has got everything on lock.

"It doesn't really matter if CM Punk wants to come back to WWE or not. Our company already has a self-destructive narcissist who puts his ego before the good of the talent, the company, and the business. Vince has that all under control. If we need help in that regard, we can always bring Hogan back for an evening."

At last report, Vince was parading around Wall Street in a bad suit with a terrible mustache and poorly dyed hair, embarrassing anyone who has ever known him. Compete with that, Phil.

Smackdown! vs Raw: Part 8 - Wrestlemania.

Another cold open, except this time it’s LuLu limping his way to the ring. To his shock, he’s cheered by the honkeys of WWE. They cheer him, and boo when he mentions Eddie, Cena and Vince, and then cheers when he says they couldn’t finish the job. Between this and the Big Show, LuLu has been left rattled. 

LuLu calls out McMahon, who gloats that he expected LuLu to have learned his lesson after the beating on Sunday.

LuLu makes a solemn oath. He will never break - if McMahon wants him gone, then he’ll need to kill LuLu. “You may make my life a living hell, but I swear, I will drag you to hell with me.” And LuLu reveals why he called McMahon out.

McMahon and Cena are shocked, but McMahon laughs it off. He points out that LuLu can barely stand - but LuLu is undeterred. He makes an offer; he beats John Cena here and now, and he faces McMahon at Wrestlemaina. “You’re completely insane” McMahon sneers “But alright, you asked for it!”

The stakes couldn’t be higher!

John Cena is no joke, and with LuLu being injured, he has a hell of a match ahead of him. But as a Babyface, LuLu is determined to fight honourably. And when I say honourably, I mean use Torrie to distract the referee and attack Cena with a weapon.

With a hard earned victory, the next week McMahon announces that he is a man of his word. “Last week I made a gamble that backfired on me, so I’ll be appearing at wrestlemania... in a hell in a cell match." he says, clearly nervous. But he's as bitter as he is nervous, and decides McMahon decides that LuLu will have a tag team match against Chris Benoit and Garrison Cade - but hm, LuLu doesn’t have a tag partner. How about - Trish Stratus!

Backstage, Trish is very worried about the match, since she would be fucked up. LuLu assures her that his goons are after him, not Trish. And besides…

The match mostly goes as you would expect, Benoit and Cade kick the ever loving shit out of LuLu and poor poor Trish. The sitruation is dicey, but my mind whirs like a pc playing Crysis (christ, remember that game? It still runs like shit on most PCs, btw) and I devise a plan.

I was able to figure out how I could win the match despite my weak tag partner - throw her to the wolves. Despite what cutscene LuLu said, LuLu let Benoit and Cade beat the shit out of Trish and then ambushed Cade while Benoit put poor Trish in a crippler crossface to win the match.

After the match, LuLu celebrates with Trish - but hark! Benoit was pretending to be defeated!

He starts kicking the shit out of LuLu… but who runs in to save but LuLu's best friend and brother, the Big Show

Yeah. Yeah it is.

The next week, Vince McMahon grumbles that a certain wrestler dared interfere with the match. Vince gloats that to teach him respect, Show will be forced to- 

In walks Kurt Angle, back from the firing. And even the Boss answers to a higher power…

Kurt fires Benoit and Cena, and declares that since Vince McMahon will be wrestling at Wrestlemania, he loses access to his administrative powers. And in some genuinely glorious schadenfreude, Vince has to wrestle in a handicap match against the Big Show and LuLu.

I really can't communicate how good this feels.

After a brutal beating and a slam to McMahon’s grapefruit, Show and LuLu celebrate in the ring while the commentators muse whether or not McMahon will even survive the Hell In A Cell match... at Wrestlemania!

Backstage, LuLu is chatting with Trish in a manner that for once isn’t deeply unsettling and cringe for once. LuLu makes his intentions clear:

Trish wishes him well, and they hug. LuLu got Trish dragged into his own mess, but brief as their interactions have been, I do find them kind of sweet.

Elsewhere, McMahon is being interviewed before the match. His intentions are just as clear - and he feels that as someone who went from a trailer park to the chairman of billion dollar company, he’s not gonna lose.

“And once it’s over, nobody will say “no” to Vincent Kennedy McMahon!”

The match stays in the ring for about a minute before LuLu leaves to grab some weapons.

LuLu slaps Vince around for about a minute before LuLu decides to take to the sky!

Of course, what comes up…

But while McMahon draws breath, this match isn't over yet!

Wow, after such an astonishing stunt, the match has to be over! And when I say over, I mean they’re on their feet literally 5 seconds later.

But this match really will end with a bang!

And with a final Shattered Dreams…

LuLu wins the match!

After the match, LuLu puts Vince on the table, and climbs up the Cell and hey wait a sec I already did this!!

Yeah it's cooler in the cutscene but I did it twice!!!

This shot does have some power to it though…

Regrettably, Vince is still breathing, but still - a hell of a way to end the year.

LuLu humiliated the bastard CEO, and learned to forgive Yakub's people - while securing his legacy forever. A glorious ending to Season Mode... for Smackdown, at least.

22 years ago today , the World Wrestling Federation was changed to World Wrestling Entertainment. It was named the World Wide Wrestling Federation ( WWWF ) after being known as the Capitol Wrestling Corporation ( CWC). This was the name of the promotion in 1953. However , it was renamed the World Wide Wrestling Federation in 1963. Thus, being renamed to the World Wrestling Federation in 1979. The promotion was originally owned by Vincent ‘ Vince ’ J. McMahon , the father of former WWE owner , Vincent ‘ Vince ’ K. McMahon Jr. In 1982 , Vince bought the WWWF from his father and built it into a worldwide entertainment phenomenon.

McMahon’s idea of the WWF being a global phenomenon, Wrestlemania was introduced in 1985. This Pay-Per-View was a cross between professional wrestling and the entertainment industry. This became known as the ‘ Rock & Wrestling Connection’. Celebrities such as Mr.T , Liberace, Muhammad Ali, and Cyndi Lauper all took part in the show.

McMahon had a much bigger challenge in the 1990s. He had a fierce rivalry going with Ted Turner ‘s promotion, World Championship Wrestling ( WCW). This era became known as ‘ The Monday Night Wars ’. McMahon had a strategy to get edgier content out to boost the ratings to defeat WCW ‘s ‘ Monday Nitro ’. This period of WWE was known as ‘ The Attitude Era ’.

In 2002, the WWF was rebranded to WWE after McMahon was sued by the World Wildlife Fund over naming rights. McMahon kept creating ways to keep making WWE the world’s top wrestling promotion.

Nevertheless in 2019, a new wrestling promotion was launched to compete with McMahon’s WWE. This promotion is known as All Elite Wrestling ( AEW). The promotion was started by the owners of the NFL football team, Jacksonville Jaguars , Shahid and Tony Khan along with wrestlers, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson ( The Young Bucks) , Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes , who would return to WWE in 2022. McMahon’s Son In Law , Paul ‘ Triple H ’ Levesque , and daughter Stephanie , would run WWE alongside him in order to help get ratings up against AEW.

In 2023 , WWE would be taken over by the Endeavor/TKO group. This company also owns the Ultimate Fighting Championship ( UFC). Owner Ari Emmanuel placed Levesque in charge of WWE creative , removing McMahon from the company.

My Final Thoughts:

I know that Vince McMahon has done some terrible things , but, he shaped professional wrestling as we all know it. The history of the sport and company I love and am passionate about is one of the most interesting things to learn about. I hope you all learned a lot from this post. Love you all my dear readers.

"Back on the Small Screen"

Summary: Mr. McMahon wants Ashley back on TV again for the summer once again while her children are visiting Beverly, David, Ian, Rachael, Jenna, and Victor. She isn't sure whether to go for it even though rude customers have been an issue for her. 21st instalment of Two Brothers, One Friend, Many Stories series. Kayfabe details used only.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the pro wrestling gimmicks/characters used here. I only own my original characters.

Note: I have no idea where the idea of Ashley talking to the ghosts of the kayfabe parents of the Brothers of Destruction in a dream came from.

It was the first of May 1998. Ashley had sent Victor a plush toy of a penguin for a birthday present in the mail as he would be a year old on May 9th and even before that, she was busy in her normal life. In the time since Wrestlemania 14, she and the Undertaker had gone back to talking on the phone twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday nights, her children had done well in school, and life overall had been improving. Therapy for what they had been through in the first three months of this year had helped. The only bad thing was the rude customers whom she had been dealing with over the phone when taking orders for WWF merchandise. It made her wonder if those individuals had forgotten how to be polite or just weren't taught manners at all.

This afternoon though, she had been meeting with Mr. Vincent Kennedy McMahon and their respective contract lawyers plus the Undertaker to discuss the possibility of her doing something else in the company. Many people had written letters asking if she could come back on TV in some form on a regular basis, even if it was just for the summer; as Mr. McMahon put it, it would be great for business. Perhaps it helped that Ashley had already made arrangements for Lucas, Colin, and Meredith to visit her first cousins and first cousins once removed in St. Louis, Missouri for their entire summer vacation. Maybe it was the fact that she wouldn't have to deal with quite so many rude individuals if she had an onscreen role once more. Either way, the offer was tempting. Fortunately for the single mother, she would be given a week to decide.

At home, Ashley had called her other relatives to ask their opinions as her children completed their chores. Now she was ordering pizza for dinner tonight as she knew she would not be able to concentrate on cooking at all. She wondered what her childhood friend and his little brother were up to.

Not long ago, it had been revealed that Kane's biological father was Paul Bearer. Ashley had been just as shocked as everyone else; Mrs. Calaway hadn't seemed to be the type of person to cheat on their spouse and no one had any reason to believe that Kane wasn't the biological son of Mr. Calaway. Then again, DNA testing had not existed at the time, so even if any cheating accusations had been made, it would have been hard to prove them. That being said, Ashley was more disgusted with Paul Bearer than she had ever been in the past and unsure just how Kane had taken the news off camera.

Pushing those thoughts aside, Ashley got up when the doorbell rang to get the pepperoni and sausage pizza that she had ordered and pay for it. She set it on the table and her children each put a slice on their paper plates before getting themselves glasses of apple juice. Ashley got herself some pizza and juice as well and did her best to focus on the present, hoping she could make the right decision about whether to go back on WWF television or not.

For his part, the Undertaker had been surprised by the fan letters asking about Ashley's potential TV return, whether as a manager once again or in another role. It didn't help that they didn't seem to understand that she was trying to keep herself and her family out of danger by staying off of WWF TV. Not because she didn't trust Paul Bearer to keep his word about not going after her family to punish Kane or the Undertaker, but because there were plenty of other hostile, or at least trouble making, individuals in the World Wrestling Federation: Mankind, Vader, D-Generation X, etc. The self defense training she had gotten in the past could be helpful, but most individuals on the WWF roster weighed a lot more than she did and were taller than her. Ashley wouldn't have much of a chance against any of them if they attacked her, especially if she became a referee.

The Deadman was pondering this as he sat in a hotel room alone, a random old black and white horror film playing on the TV in the background. He knew it was Ashley's choice as to what she would do; she had been cursing several rude customers when complaining about her current position over the phone earlier in the week when talking to him. A different non customer service job, whatever that might be, could be good for her if it wasn't too dangerous. The Undertaker turned off the TV after a few minutes and sighed. It was the only issue she seemed to be having right now, aside from having to count down the days until she had to give a victim impact statement to the two men who had tried to kidnap Colin and Meredith when the trial occurred in December. Speaking of his friend's children, all 3 of them had liked the late/early birthday gifts he had sent to them back in March. Lucas had gotten a video camera with a tripod and several blank VHS tapes to practice cutting promos, Colin had gotten a subscription to WWF Magazine, and Meredith had gotten a regular Polaroid film camera since she now wanted to be an amateur photographer.

The Undertaker had not initially wanted to do so, but he had occasionally talked to Lucas, Colin, and Meredith on the phone after talking to Ashley much like an uncle who loved talking to nephews and nieces. Did he really even want to be like family to them? He wasn't so sure; he had lost his parents, and his little brother was not yet able to reconcile with him due to blaming him for the tragedy. If the McCormick family got hurt because of him or Kane-no, the Undertaker was not going to finish that thought. He just decided to get ready for tonight's house show and focus on that for now. He was unaware of what Ashley would dream of that night or the other nights before she had to make her decision about Mr. McMahon's offer.

On the night of May 3rd, 1998, Ashley had perhaps the strangest dream she could remember having. She was seeing the Undertaker's parents' ghosts in the cemetery where their remains had been laid to rest. She was frightened by them. "Mrs. Calaway, Mr. Calaway?" She asked, trying not to shake too badly.

The couple looked very much as Ashley had remembered them in life: Mr. Calaway looked like a much older version of the Undertaker minus the long hair and was wearing the clothes and boots he usually wore when at work in the embalming room. Mrs. Calaway was wearing a blue dress and nice shoes; she also had hair almost as long as Kane's.

"Ashley, you've grown so much since we last saw you and so have Mark and Kane." Mrs. Calaway commented, smiling at her.

"We've missed all 3 of you so much." Mr. Calaway added.

"They and I have missed you badly too." Ashley sighed sadly. "The whole world found out, thanks to medical technology advancing a lot, that Paul Bearer is Kane's biological father. I couldn't believe it when I heard it."

"I already told Mr. Calaway after Mark had been sent to do his chores after we caught him and Kane playing with matches. He didn't take it well at first, but he did forgive me since I regretted that encounter with Paul. We had planned to tell the boys later that night but then the fire occurred." Mrs. Calaway had clearly not forgiven herself for that instance of cheating as she looked down in shame.

Mr. Calaway put his arm around his wife. He couldn't hold that incident against her; he had only wished that she would have told him sooner. "As far as I'm concerned, Mark and Kane are both of our sons in every way that matters. We taught them what they needed to know, took care of them when they were sick, made sure that their needs were met, and still love them despite what they have done recently. We just hope that they can turn back to the right path eventually, but it is their choice."

"I'd like to tell them that for you the next time I get a chance to speak with them." Ashley said, shedding tears. "They didn't want me involved in their conflicts this time, but I still care about them. Their current boss thinks that I should work on TV again, with Mark or in some other role, but I don't know what choice to make. I was happy being Mark's manager last summer despite the downsides of that job."

"You always were a good friend to Mark and Kane, Ashley." Mrs Calaway assured her. "They were always good friends to you too and I think they would understand as well as you do that a person has to make their own choices in life and live with what happens as a result."

"We hope they and you can continue to remember that no matter what happens next." Mr. Calaway was smiling just as his wife was as a way of reassuring Ashley that things would be fine, even if that wasn't the case right away.

That was the moment that Ashley had woken up from the dream, tears falling as she sat up. She found some tissues and wiped away her tears. Then she seemed to have more of an idea as to what choice she would make regarding Mr. McMahon's offer. The first thing she did was call the Undertaker; when he didn't answer his cell phone right away, Ashley left a voicemail message to tell him about her dream and to tell Kane about it if he got a chance to do so. Then she got ready for work and left before her children got on the school bus after they had Pop Tarts and milk for breakfast. She would give her decision to Mr. McMahon on Wednesday and hope that it was the right one.

¿Qué pasó con la WWF y por qué desapareció? La WWF, conocida como la World Wrestling Federation, fue una de las principales promociones de lucha libre profesional en el mundo. Sin embargo, en el año 2002, la empresa cambió su nombre a WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment. Esto se debió a una disputa con el Fondo Mundial para la Naturaleza (WWF en inglés), que también utilizaba las siglas WWF. La disputa por las siglas WWF La disputa comenzó en el año 2001, cuando el Fondo Mundial para la Naturaleza demandó a la World Wrestling Federation por el uso de las siglas WWF. El Fondo Mundial para la Naturaleza había estado utilizando las siglas WWF desde 1961, mientras que la World Wrestling Federation las había estado utilizando desde 1979. La corte británica dictaminó que la World Wrestling Federation no podía utilizar las siglas WWF en el Reino Unido, lo que llevó a la empresa a cambiar su nombre. El cambio de nombre a WWE En mayo de 2002, la World Wrestling Federation cambió su nombre a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). El cambio de nombre se debió a la disputa con el Fondo Mundial para la Naturaleza, pero también se vio como una oportunidad para rebrandear la empresa y expandir su alcance más allá de la lucha libre profesional. La empresa comenzó a enfocarse en la producción de contenido de entretenimiento, incluyendo películas y programas de televisión. La decisión de cambiar el nombre de la empresa no fue bien recibida por todos los fanáticos de la lucha libre profesional. Algunos se sintieron que el cambio de nombre era una traición a la historia y la tradición de la WWF. Sin embargo, el cambio de nombre también permitió a la empresa expandir su alcance y llegar a un público más amplio. La herencia de la WWF Aunque la WWF ya no existe como una entidad separada, su legado sigue vivo en la WWE. La empresa sigue produciendo contenido de lucha libre profesional y ha mantenido muchos de los elementos que hicieron a la WWF tan popular, incluyendo a los luchadores y los eventos. La WWF también sigue siendo recordada por sus momentos más icónicos, incluyendo la rivalidad entre Hulk Hogan y Andre el Gigante, y la carrera de luchadores como Stone Cold Steve Austin y The Rock. La historia de la WWF: de su auge a su declive La historia de la WWF: de su auge a su declive La World Wrestling Federation (WWF), conocida hoy en día como WWE, ha tenido una trayectoria marcada por altibajos a lo largo de su historia. En este artículo, exploraremos el auge y declive de la WWF, desde sus inicios hasta la actualidad. El nacimiento y el auge de la WWF La WWF fue fundada en 1963 por Vincent J. McMahon, quien compró la Capitol Wrestling Corporation y la renombró como World Wide Wrestling Federation. En la década de 1980, la WWF comenzó a ganar popularidad gracias a la figura de Hulk Hogan, quien se convirtió en el rostro de la empresa. La WWF también introdujo la WrestleMania, un evento anual que se convirtió en el mayor espectáculo de lucha libre del mundo. La expansión y el éxito En la década de 1990, la WWF continuó creciendo y expandiéndose. La empresa lanzó la Monday Night Raw, un programa de televisión que se convirtió en un éxito instantáneo. La WWF también comenzó a contratar a luchadores de otras empresas, como la World Championship Wrestling (WCW) y la Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). Esto llevó a una guerra de ratings entre la WWF y la WCW, que se conoció como la "Monday Night Wars". La compra de la WCW y la ECW En 2001, la WWF compró la WCW y la ECW, lo que le dio el control total del mercado de la lucha libre en Estados Unidos. Esto marcó el comienzo del declive de la WWF, ya que la empresa se volvió demasiado grande y perdió su enfoque en la creación de contenido de alta calidad. El cambio de nombre y la reestructuración En 2002, la WWF cambió su nombre a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), lo que reflejaba su expansión más allá de la lucha libre. La empresa también comenzó a reestructurarse, lo que llevó a la salida de varios luchadores y empleados.

Aunque la WWE sigue siendo una de las empresas de entretenimiento más grandes del mundo, su popularidad ha disminuido en comparación con su auge en la década de 1990. La competencia y el futuro En la actualidad, la WWE enfrenta competencia de otras empresas de lucha libre, como la All Elite Wrestling (AEW) y la New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). Aunque la WWE sigue siendo la empresa de lucha libre más grande del mundo, su futuro es incierto. ¿Podrá la WWE recuperar su auge del pasado o seguirá en declive? Solo el tiempo lo dirá. ¿Hay posibilidades de que la WWF vuelva a resurgir en el futuro? La pregunta del resurgimiento de la WWF es un tema de interés para muchos fanáticos de la lucha libre profesional. Aunque la empresa original dejó de existir en 2002, su legado sigue vivo en la WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), que adquirió los derechos de la WWF. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, ha habido rumores y especulaciones sobre una posible revivificación de la marca WWF. ¿Qué factores podrían influir en el resurgimiento de la WWF? Hay varios factores que podrían influir en la decisión de revivificar la WWF: Demanda del mercado: La lucha libre profesional sigue siendo un deporte popular, y la nostalgia por la WWF podría generar una demanda significativa para su regreso. Competencia en el mercado: La WWE es la empresa líder en la lucha libre profesional, pero la competencia de otras empresas como AEW (All Elite Wrestling) y Impact Wrestling podría llevar a la WWE a considerar la revivificación de la WWF como una forma de mantener su posición en el mercado. Valor de la marca: La WWF es una marca reconocida y respetada en la lucha libre profesional, y su valor podría ser un activo valioso para la WWE. En cuanto a las posibilidades de que la WWF vuelva a resurgir, es importante destacar que la WWE ha mantenido la propiedad de la marca WWF y ha utilizado su nombre y logotipo en ocasiones especiales. Esto sugiere que la empresa no ha descartado completamente la idea de revivificar la WWF en el futuro. Además, en los últimos años, la WWE ha estado explorando nuevas formas de presentar contenido, como la creación de una división de lucha libre independiente llamada NXT, que podría ser un paso hacia la revivificación de la WWF. Sin embargo, hasta ahora, no hay planes concretos para revivificar la WWF. Es importante tener en cuenta que cualquier decisión sobre el resurgimiento de la WWF dependerá de la estrategia y las prioridades de la WWE en el futuro. Por lo tanto, solo el tiempo dirá si la WWF volverá a resurgir en el futuro. ¿Qué factores podrían influir en un posible regreso de la WWF? El regreso de la WWF (World Wrestling Federation, ahora conocida como WWE) dependería de varios factores clave. A continuación, se presentan algunos de los elementos que podrían influir en una posible vuelta de la WWF: La demanda del público La nostalgia juega un papel importante en la posible vuelta de la WWF. Muchos fanáticos de la lucha libre profesional que crecieron viendo a leyendas como Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair y Stone Cold Steve Austin podrían estar ansiosos por revivir la emoción y la excitación de la era dorada de la WWF. La competencia en el mercado La presencia de otras promociones de lucha libre profesional, como All Elite Wrestling (AEW) y Impact Wrestling, podría influir en la decisión de revivir la WWF. Si la WWE considera que puede recuperar terreno y atraer a una nueva generación de fanáticos, podría optar por revivir la marca WWF. [aib_post_related url='/conoce-a-rick-the-jet-roufus-el-campeon-de-full-contact/' title='Conoce a Rick " The Jet " Roufus el campeón de Full Contact' relatedtext='Quizás también te interese:'] La propiedad intelectual y los derechos de autor La WWE posee los derechos de autor y las marcas registradas de la WWF, lo que significa que tendría el control total sobre la posible vuelta de la marca.
