When Curley was dying, Mondt moved to take over New York wrestling with the aid of several bookers, one of whom was Jess McMahon.

Together, McMahon and Mondt created the Capitol Wrestling Corporation Ltd ( CWC ).

McMahon and Mondt were a successful combination, and within a short time, they controlled approximately 70 % of the NWA's booking, largely due to their dominance in the heavily populated Northeast region.

Mondt taught McMahon about booking and how to work in the wrestling business.

Rogers lost the NWA World Championship to Lou Thesz in a one-fall match in Toronto, Ontario on January 24, 1963, which led to Mondt, McMahon, and the CWC leaving the NWA in protest, creating the World Wide Wrestling Federation ( WWWF ) in the process.

* World Wrestling Entertainment is founded by Vincent J. McMahon and Joseph Raymond " Toots " Mondt.

Eventually, promoters Toots Mondt and McMahon Sr. cleared up Sammartino's suspension by paying his $ 500 fine ( Bruno says they took it out of his future purses ).

Northeast promoters, led by McMahon and Toots Mondt, withdrew their membership from the NWA and formed the World Wide Wrestling Federation ( WWWF ), as Thesz was not a strong draw in the area.

McMahon was the co-founder of the Capitol Wrestling Corporation, along with Toots Mondt.

The rest of the NWA was unhappy with Mondt because he rarely allowed Rogers to wrestle outside of the Northeast.

Legend says that Mondt dragged Rogers out of his hospital bed and forced him into the match, but it was obvious that Rogers could not take the burden of a world championship in his condition.

Joseph Raymond " Toots " Mondt ( January 18, 1894 – June 11, 1976 ) was a wrestling promoter who revolutionized the wrestling industry in the early to mid 1920s and co-promoted the World Wide Wrestling Federation.

Joseph Raymond Mondt was born in Wayne County, Iowa in 1894.

By this time, the industry had begun a gradual shift towards “ worked ” programs ; and Stanislaus Zbyszko was eventually recruited back to the U. S. by the “ Gold Dust Trio ” of Strangler Lewis, Billy Sandow, and Toots Mondt.

He was the pivotal figure in the " Gold Dust Trio ", along with promoters Toots Mondt and Billy Sandow, a travelling road show that was the precursor to wrestling tours, and which revolutionized wrestling by creating undercards, promoting full events instead of one match shows.

In 1946, while receiving training from Toots Mondt, Hart debuted in New York and embarked on a long, eventful career, at one point wrestling a tiger and a grizzly bear.

Toots Mondt made his wrestling debut in Greeley in 1912 at the age of 18 in a carnival / wrestling style match, a match he would wrestle in for many years.

Some of the names that Michailoff presented at the Arena included Strangler Lewis and Toots Mondt, as well as reigning world champions Gus Sonnenberg, Ed Don George, Henri Deglane, Jim Londos, Ali Baba, Vic Christie, Everett Marshall and Billy Weidner, who all defended their titles at the Arena.

A few years earlier, around 1920, professional wrestler Joseph Raymond " Toots " Mondt had created a new challenge of professional wrestling that he called Slam Bang Western Style Wrestling to make the entertainment more appealing to spectators.

When the league was first organized in 1999, it was originally supposed to stand for " Xtreme Football League "; however, there was already a league in formation at the same time with that name, and so promoters wanted to make sure that everyone knew that the " X " did not actually stand for anything ( though McMahon would comment that " if the NFL stood for the ' No Fun League ', the XFL will stand for the ' extra fun league '").

McMahon, who wanted to use an Irish name, gave Bollea the last name Hogan, and also wanted him to dye his hair red.

Lawler claims that he never wanted to announce for the XFL, but that he agreed to it after McMahon and Kevin Dunn asked him.

McMahon wanted to ensure that Corporation member The Rock would retain his title at WrestleMania, so he had Wight wrestle Mankind at WrestleMania XV for the right to referee the main event.

Greenwald maintains that it was her idea to have her head shaved, suggesting the idea to Vince McMahon months before the match occurred because she wanted to do something shocking for WrestleMania.

This gimmick was not considered successful, and Graham later stated that he wanted to retire the " Superstar " character out of frustration with Vince McMahon Sr. for not letting him turn babyface.

Because of his face turn, his new position saw him giving the fans what they wanted and making matches that put villains at disadvantages, notably JBL, a stark contrast to other WWE managers, such as Eric Bischoff and Mr. McMahon, who would blatantly favor heels.

The belt was retired briefly in April 1999 by then-champion Shane McMahon, who wanted to retire as an " undefeated champion ".

In Jones's autobiography he recounted that he wanted to " take out their top man " and McMahon actually managed to smash Jones in the eye with his elbow on the way down from the tackle, which lead to a cut and scar on his face that remained on his face for a while.

Brian Clough was publicly critical of McMahon afterwards, although many people could understand the scousers ' determination to propel the Reds into the final against Everton, he also wanted to bring the famous old trophy back to Anfield as a dedication to the 96 supporters who lost their lives.

Following the Lufthansa heist, Theresa Ferrara, Martin Krugman, Robert McMahon, Joe Manri, Parnell Edwards and Paolo LiCastri had all been murdered by Burke, who wanted to avoid paying them their share of the loot.

In kayfabe, this was related to their new " heel " attitude, but it was actually because Eadie had developed an allergy to shellfish ( which he attributed to his frequent trips to Japan ) which hospitalized him, and WWF owner and head booker Vince McMahon wanted to add a third member to the team just in case the illness put Eadie out of action for an extended period of time.

On the December 26th edition of Raw, McMahon and Michaels had words ending with McMahon threatening that he could screw HBK just like he did Bret Hart anytime he wanted.

Less than a week later WWF and Vince McMahon purchased WCW, and wanted to keep Kash on through a renegotiation of his contract, which would have cut his wages considerably.

McMahon had the option of taking on any contract he wanted with his purchase, but chose to let AOL Time Warner continue to pay out what were considered bad deals.

Then, the Undertaker made it clear that he wanted to own the World Wrestling Federation and oust Vince McMahon.

He also claimed that he was the victim of a serious prank by WWF wrestler Diesel in the mid 90s when he called him at his home in Portland saying that Vince McMahon wanted him to wrestle a tryout match at a house show in Texas.

McMahon wanted to be a wrestler but his father would not let him, explaining that promoters did not appear on the show and should stay apart from their wrestlers.

After the event, however, Northeastern promoter Vincent J. McMahon refused to recognize the title change and withdrew his operation from the NWA, becoming the World Wide Wrestling Federation ( WWWF, now WWE ) with Rogers as the star performer.

Meanwhile, McMahon Sr. was having a tough time drawing fans with newly created World Wide Wrestling Federation Champion Buddy Rogers in New York.

McMahon named Rogers as the winner of a tournament in Rio De Janeiro that never actually happened because Thesz never drew well in the northeast.

In the 1950s, Rogers expanded into Vince McMahon, Sr .' s Capitol Wrestling Corporation.
