My WWE Hall of Fame

WWE Logo

All throughout this blog, I have talked about different parts of the wonder that is the WWE. From the pay-per-views to titles to different factions that ran each era, WWE has always been full of life and love. In this post, I am going to talk about the things I love about WWE ever since I was a little girl.

My father has been watching WWE since he was a young boy, and he shared his love of the sport with me and my sisters growing up. We have gone to different events (Raw, Smackdown, Wrestlemania!) and met various superstars. I remember going to meet and greets to get autographs! Wrestling has always been in my family, and I don’t remember a life without it nor do I ever want to know of it.

The Bella Twins

My favorite diva wrestlers have always been the Bella Twins and Mickey James. They were such great wrestlers and performers. They always made me feel like I could do anything. My favorite male wrestlers definitely varied as I got older. I remember growing up I loved Jeff Hardy, Daniel Bryan, Undertaker, and the Rock. Now, my favorite definitely is Sami Zayn and Dean Ambrose (even though he is not wrestling for WWE anymore). Seth Rollins is hilarious as well! The roster definitely continues to get better and better as the years go by, but I will always miss the old days that my dad talks about so often.

The Attitude Era was definitely a time you wanted to be a fan because you never knew what was going to happen, and the suspense made it worth it. As for pay-per-views, my favorite is the Royal Rumble. The big match of thirty men and women fighting for the win has always been a favorite of mine because there were always fun moments. Along with that, my family always makes it a point to have a small party during each live event. They always hold good memories.

Royal Rumble

Overall, WWE has been a big part of my life, and I hope it continues to play a big role. I will always have the memories of my dad doing fake wrestling moves on me on the bed!

WWE: Then and Now

Vince McMahon Sr. (left) and Vince McMahon Jr. (right) World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has such a long history that includes many name changes, but no matter what, the fanbase has stuck by its side. Vince McMahon Jr. is the name most people associate with WWE as he has run the company for over 40 years. WWE was not the large company it is today, for McMahon Jr. shaped the corporation to fit his standards. In 1982, McMahon Jr. bought World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) from his father McMahon Sr. and changed the name to World Wrestling Federation (WWF)... that extra W just wasn’t doing it for him. After purchasing the company, McMahon went into different wrestling territories and bought wrestlers from them; thus, those territories eventually went bankrupt. Vince himself owned the New York territory of entertainment wrestling, but his advancements into other territories included famous faces, such as Stu Hart with Stampede Wrestling covering the Montana area and Memphis Wrestling ...

Pay-Per-Views

Wrestlemania 1 Pay-per-views (PPV) began after Vince McMahon Jr. bought many wrestling territories in the United States. The first ever PPV was Wrestlemania debuting in 1984. Wrestlemania was smaller a production than it is nowadays. In fact, next year in 2024, it will be the 40th Wrestlemania held in Philadelphia, PA. Looking at the commercials, it will be one of the biggest events yet! Every month there is a pay-per-view all with different gimmicks and titles, but there are four shows that have stayed the same yearly. Wrestlemania, Summer Slam, Survivor Series, and the Royal Rumble are continuous each year. Survivor Series came up first in 1987. It normally is always around Thanksgiving time. The show itself has evolved since it used to be just five against five with random teams; they tried to focus on good versus bad. Now, like every PPV, there are more matches that are important to the show. The other two were both introduced in 1988. Summer Slam’s best memory has to be “The Mega ...

Factions

(left to right) Jimmy Uso, Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, Solo Sakoa, Jey Uso While I was going to do this post on The Bloodline, I realized how many factions were involved in WWE. Yes, The Bloodline has been a lot of WWE recently, but as my dad said… they are slowly losing traction and becoming less of the ‘main drama’ on the show. Factions are groups of wrestlers in their own ‘cliques,’ and there are many of these factions that can be recalled throughout the years. The Bloodline is run by Roman Reigns as the ‘Tribal Chief’ because of his Samoan background–the numerous ethnicities of WWE are what I want my next post to be about. Jey Uso joined Roman next as the ‘Right Hand Man’ with his twin brother Jimmy. Paul Heyman became Reign’s ‘special counsel’ or ‘wise man.’ Solo Sikoa, the Uso’s younger brother, joined the Bloodline later. Recently, Sami Zayn made it his goal to ruin the Bloodline. He joined as a fake member, gaining their trust before beginning to crumble the tribe from within. Now...
