When it was announced, The History Of WWE sounded like a very exciting project. For all the documentaries produced by WWE, never had there been an official one to cover the entire story of World Wrestling Entertainment. Given the subject matter, expectations were high, as high as for any documentary that the company has ever made. In the end, whilst there are potential improvements which could have been made, the documentary is a very good one which should satisfy viewers, especially longtime fans, and the bonus matches help make this a quality DVD.
The story begins by focusing on Jess McMahon, a boxing promoter in the early-to-mid 20th century, and his son Vincent J McMahon, a wrestling promoter who in 1953 would give life to a company named Capitol Sports, which ultimately morphed into the World Wide Wrestling Federation. Bruno Sammartino is spotlighted here as well as other contemporaries of the pre-expansion era. The roots for the modern-day WWE were sown in 1982 when Vincent Kennedy McMahon (or Vince McMahon Jr.) bought from his father the World Wrestling Federation (renamed in 1979) and, over the next two years, laid the groundwork for an audacious attempt, the success of which or lack thereof would determine if McMahon and his WWF would remain in business.
