WWWF, World Wrestling Federation, WWF, World Wrestling Entertainment
Founded and incorporated as the World Wrestling Federation on February 21, 1980, the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has been on the forefront of professional wrestling and “sports entertainment”, a term coined and popularized by WWE co-founder, majority shareholder, CEO and Chairman of the Board Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
As in other professional wrestling promotions, WWE shows are not legitimate contests, but purely entertainment-based, featuring storyline-driven, scripted, and choreographed matches, though they often include moves that can put performers at risk of injury if not performed correctly.
