WWE / NAPW: The begginings, about the WWF

In 1979, Vincent K. McMahon founded Titan Sports, Inc. and in 1982 the company purchased Capitol Sports to his father, Vincent J. McMahon. At 12 years old, Vince became involved in the wrestling business until his father decided to retire. The elder McMahon had already established the northeastern territory as one of the most recognized and energetic members of the NWA by recognizing that professional wrestling was more entertainment than sport. Against his father's wishes, McMahon began an expansion process that fundamentally change the sport, and that would put the WWF-and his own life in danger.Leaving the NWA for a second time, which in itself was not a big step, the AWA was, long ago, no longer an official member of the NWA, and a decade before the WWWF had rejoined the NWA. But in none of the circumstances the separate member had tried to destroy the system of territories of the National Wrestling Alliance, which had been the foundation of the industry.Other promoters were enfandaron when McMahon began syndicating WWF events to television stations around the United States, in areas outside the traditional territory of the WWF (the northeast). McMahon also began selling videotapes of WWF events outside the Northeast through his Coliseum Video distribution company. He effectively broke the law "unprecedented" of regionalism around which the industry was based. To make matters worse, McMahon used the income generated by advertising, television deals, and tape sales to poach talent to rival promoters. The wrestling promoters around the country were now in direct competition with the WWF.According to reports, Vince father warned his son that if he continued his actions end up dead. However, despite this warning, the younger McMahon had a higher ambition: the WWF would tour the nation. However, such action required a large capital investment, one that could put the WWF on the verge of financial collapse.The future, not only the experiment of Vincent K. McMahon, but also the WWF, the NWA, and the whole industry came down to the success or failure of the new concept of sports entertainment McMahon, Wrestlemania. Wrestlemania event was a pay-per-view (pay-per-view) Vincent K. McMahon marketed as being the Super Bowl of professional wrestling.
