Various promoters understood that they would not invade each other's territories, as this practice had gone on undeterred for decades.<a href="#cite_note-31">[30]</a> The <a href="/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance" title="National Wrestling Alliance">National Wrestling Alliance</a> became the governing body for all the regional territories across the country and as far away as Japan. McMahon had a different vision of what the industry could become. In 1983, the WWF split from the NWA again (it had left the NWA in 1963 but rejoined in 1971). He began expanding the company nationally by promoting in areas outside of the company's Northeast U.S. stomping grounds and by signing talent from other companies, such as the <a href="/wiki/American_Wrestling_Association" title="American Wrestling Association">American Wrestling Association</a> (AWA). In 1984, he recruited <a href="/wiki/Hulk_Hogan" title="Hulk Hogan">Hulk Hogan</a> to be the WWF's charismatic new megastar, and the two quickly drew the ire of industry peers as the promotion began traveling and broadcasting into rival territories. McMahon, who still also fronted as the WWF's squeaky clean babyface announcer, created <a href="/wiki/1980s_professional_wrestling_boom" title="1980s professional wrestling boom">The Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection</a> by incorporating pop music stars into wrestling storylines.<a href="#cite_note-vulturehound.co.uk-32">[31]</a> As a result, the WWF was able to expand its fanbase into a national mainstream audience as the promotion was featured heavily on MTV programming. On March 31, 1985, he ran <a href="/wiki/WrestleMania_I" title="WrestleMania I">the first WrestleMania</a> at <a href="/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden" title="Madison Square Garden">Madison Square Garden</a>, available on <a href="/wiki/Closed-circuit_television" title="Closed-circuit television">closed-circuit television</a> in various markets throughout the United States. McMahon's success of birthing <a href="/wiki/WrestleMania" title="WrestleMania">WrestleMania</a> in the 1980s had a significant impact on the <a href="/wiki/1980s_professional_wrestling_boom" title="1980s professional wrestling boom">1980s professional wrestling boom</a> during the Golden Age Era.<a href="#cite_note-vulturehound.co.uk-32">[31]</a> During the late 1980s, McMahon shaped the WWF into a unique sports entertainment brand that reached out to family audiences while attracting fans who hadn't paid attention to pro wrestling before. By directing his storylines toward highly publicized supercards, McMahon capitalized on a fledgling revenue stream by promoting these events live on <a href="/wiki/Pay-per-view" title="Pay-per-view">pay-per-view</a> television. In 1987, the WWF reportedly drew 93,173 fans to the <a href="/wiki/Silverdome" class="mw-redirect" title="Silverdome">Pontiac Silverdome</a> (which was called the "biggest crowd in sports-entertainment history") for <a href="/wiki/WrestleMania_III" title="WrestleMania III">WrestleMania III</a>, which featured the main event of Hulk Hogan vs. <a href="/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_the_Giant" title="André the Giant">André the Giant</a>.<a href="#cite_note-corporatebio-33">[32]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Business_decline_and_the_Attitude_Era">Business decline and the Attitude Era</h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Attitude_Era" title="Attitude Era">Attitude Era</a></div> In 1993, the company entered the New Generation Era, one of McMahon's toughest times since taking over the company as business went up and down with various projects in the company.<a href="#cite_note-34">[33]</a> After struggling against <a href="/wiki/Ted_Turner" title="Ted Turner">Ted Turner</a>'s <a href="/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling" title="World Championship Wrestling">World Championship Wrestling</a> (WCW), McMahon cemented the WWF as the preeminent wrestling promotion in the late 1990s when initiating a new brand strategy that eventually returned the WWF to prominence. Sensing a public shift toward a more hardened and cynical fan base, McMahon redirected storylines toward a more adult-oriented model. The concept became known as "WWF Attitude" and McMahon commenced the new era when manipulating the <a href="/wiki/WWE_World_Championship" class="mw-redirect" title="WWE World Championship">WWF Championship</a> away from <a href="/wiki/Bret_Hart" title="Bret Hart">Bret Hart</a> at <a href="/wiki/Survivor_Series_(1997)" title="Survivor Series (1997)">Survivor Series</a> (now known as the "<a href="/wiki/Montreal_Screwjob" title="Montreal Screwjob">Montreal Screwjob</a>").<a href="#cite_note-Survivor_Series_–_Shawn_Michaels_vs_Bret_Hart-35">[34]</a> McMahon announced the beginning of the <a href="/wiki/Attitude_Era" title="Attitude Era">Attitude Era</a> on the December 15th, 1997 episode of Monday Night Raw, where McMahon stated "This is a conscious effort on our part to 'open the creative envelope', in order to entertain in a more contemporary manner, extends far beyond the strict confines of sports presentation into the wide open environment of broad based entertainment. We borrow from such programs niches like soap-operas and others widely accepted forms of television entertainment and tired of the same old simplistic theory of 'good guys versus bad guys'. Surely the era is definitely, passe. Therefore, we’ve embarked on a far more innovative and contemporary creative campaign, that is far more invigorating and extemporaneous than ever before".<a href="#cite_note-36">[35]</a> McMahon, who, for years, had downplayed his ownership of the company and was mostly known as a commentator, became involved in WWF storylines as the <a href="/wiki/Heel_(professional_wrestling)" title="Heel (professional wrestling)">evil</a> Mr. McMahon, who began a legendary feud with <a href="/wiki/Stone_Cold_Steve_Austin" title="Stone Cold Steve Austin">Stone Cold Steve Austin</a>, who challenged his authority. As a result, the WWF suddenly found itself back in national pop-culture, drawing millions of viewers for its weekly <a href="/wiki/WWE_Raw" title="WWE Raw">Monday Night Raw</a> broadcasts, which ranked among the highest-rated shows on cable television.<a href="#cite_note-corporatebio-33">[32]</a> In October 1999, McMahon led the WWF in an <a href="/wiki/Initial_public_offering" title="Initial public offering">initial public offering</a> of company stock. Also, during the Attitude Era, the company embraced this period by incorporating foul language, graphic violence, and controversial stipulations such as Bra and Panties matches.<a href="#cite_note-bleacherreport.com-37">[36]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Monday_Night_War_and_acquisition_of_WCW_and_ECW">Monday Night War and acquisition of WCW and ECW</h4></div> On June 24, 1999, McMahon appeared on the <a href="/wiki/Late_Night_with_Conan_O%27Brien" title="Late Night with Conan O'Brien">Late Night with Conan O'Brien</a> show and said he viewed Ted Turner as his rival, stating "All I'll say about Ted is he's a son-of-a-bitch, other than that, he's probably not a bad guy, but I don't like him at all".<a href="#cite_note-38">[37]</a> McMahon later came out victorious against Ted Turner's <a href="/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling" title="World Championship Wrestling">World Championship Wrestling</a> (WCW) in the television ratings in the <a href="/wiki/Monday_Night_War" title="Monday Night War">Monday Night War</a> after an initial 84-week television ratings loss to WCW<a href="#cite_note-vulturehound.co.uk-32">[31]</a> and afterward acquired the fading WCW from <a href="/wiki/Turner_Broadcasting_System" title="Turner Broadcasting System">Turner Broadcasting System</a> on March 23, 2001, with an end to the Monday Night War.<a href="#cite_note-39">[38]</a> On April 1, 2001, <a href="/wiki/Extreme_Championship_Wrestling" title="Extreme Championship Wrestling">Extreme Championship Wrestling</a> (ECW) filed for bankruptcy leaving WWF as the last major wrestling promotion at that time.<a href="#cite_note-40">[39]</a> McMahon later acquired the assets of ECW on January 28, 2003.<a href="#cite_note-scribd.com-41">[40]</a> In September 2020, professional wrestling promoter, <a href="/wiki/WWE_Hall_of_Fame" title="WWE Hall of Fame">WWE Hall of Famer</a>, and former WCW president <a href="/wiki/Eric_Bischoff" title="Eric Bischoff">Eric Bischoff</a> revealed that during this period of the Monday Night War in television ratings battles between WWE and WCW "Vince was petitioning a lot for Ted. He was trying to embarrass Ted, trying to create some anxiety with the shareholders of Turner Broadcasting. Vince was trying to create some unrest and anxiety by being very, very critical about WCW" and "whenever you'd see blood in WCW, Vince would write these letters from the king's court to Ted criticizing him, and WCW, and the health and welfare of the talent by saying it's gross, it's crap, and all this. And then he'd turn around and do the same thing a month later. None of us took any of those letters very seriously, and it was pretty obvious what Vince was trying to do. We all just chuckled about it".<a href="#cite_note-42">[41]</a> In a conference call in 2021, McMahon described the "situation where 'rising tides' because that was when Ted Turner was coming after us with all of Time Warner's assets as well".<a href="#cite_note-43">[42]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="World_Wildlife_Fund_lawsuit:_WWF_becomes_WWE">World Wildlife Fund lawsuit: WWF becomes WWE</h4></div> On May 5, 2002, World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, Inc. announced that it would be changing both its company name and the name of its wrestling promotion to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) after the company had lost a lawsuit initiated by the <a href="/wiki/World_Wide_Fund_for_Nature" title="World Wide Fund for Nature">World Wildlife Fund</a> over the WWF trademark.<a href="#cite_note-44">[43]</a> The name change officially occurred the following day on May 6.

McMahon also stated that the Attitude Era of the late 1990s and early 2000s was the result of competition from WCW and forced the company to "go for the jugular".<a href="#cite_note-Robinson_196-48">[47]</a> Due to WCW's demise in 2001, McMahon says that they "don't have to" appeal to viewers in the same way and that during the "far more scripted" PG Era, WWE could "give the audience what they want in a far more sophisticated way".<a href="#cite_note-Robinson_196-48">[47]</a> McMahon also stated that the move to PG cut the "excess" of the Attitude Era and "ushered in a new era of refined and compelling storytelling".<a href="#cite_note-Cena-49">[48]</a> McMahon also had the most say in the WWE company's creative direction.<a href="#cite_note-50">[49]</a> The move into the PG Era made the promotion more appealing to corporate <a href="/wiki/Sponsor_(commercial)" title="Sponsor (commercial)">sponsors</a>.<a href="#cite_note-bleacherreport.com-37">[36]</a> On April 7, 2011, McMahon's company ceased using the full name World Wrestling Entertainment and henceforth referred to itself solely as WWE, making the latter an <a href="/wiki/Pseudo-acronym" class="mw-redirect" title="Pseudo-acronym">orphan initialism</a>.

His executive role was not publicized to maintain the illusion of wrestling's staged story lines, or <a href="/wiki/Kayfabe" title="Kayfabe">kayfabe</a>. While McMahon did publicly identify himself as the owner of the WWF outside of WWF programming, on television his ownership of the WWF was considered an <a href="/wiki/Open_secret" title="Open secret">open secret</a> through the mid-1990s. <a href="/wiki/Jack_Tunney" title="Jack Tunney">Jack Tunney</a> was portrayed as the president of WWF instead of McMahon. In 1969, McMahon began appearing on untelevised WWWF events as a ring announcer. McMahon made his commentary debut in 1971 when he replaced Ray Morgan after Morgan had a pay dispute with McMahon's father, <a href="/wiki/Vincent_J._McMahon" title="Vincent J. McMahon">Vincent J. McMahon</a>, shortly before a scheduled television taping. The elder McMahon let Morgan walk instead of giving in to his demands and needed a replacement on the spot, offering it to his son. For the younger McMahon, it was also somewhat of a compromise, as it allowed him to appear on television. McMahon wanted to be a wrestler but his father did not let him, explaining that promoters did not appear on the show and should stay apart from their wrestlers.<a href="#cite_note-DVD-26">[25]</a> McMahon eventually became the regular play-by-play commentator and maintained that role until November 1997, portraying himself originally as mild-mannered and diplomatic until 1984. In addition to matches, McMahon hosted other WWF shows, and introduced WWF programming to <a href="/wiki/TBS_(U.S._TV_channel)" class="mw-redirect" title="TBS (U.S. TV channel)">TBS</a> on <a href="/wiki/Black_Saturday_(wrestling)" class="mw-redirect" title="Black Saturday (wrestling)">Black Saturday</a>, upon the WWF's acquisition of <a href="/wiki/Georgia_Championship_Wrestling" title="Georgia Championship Wrestling">Georgia Championship Wrestling</a> and its lucrative <a href="/wiki/WCW_Saturday_Night" title="WCW Saturday Night">Saturday night timeslot</a>.

At the <a href="/wiki/Slammy_Award" title="Slammy Award">1987 Slammy Awards</a>, McMahon performed in a musical number and sang the song "Stand Back".<a href="#cite_note-slam-80">[79]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Camp_(style)" title="Camp (style)">campy</a> "Stand Back" video has since resurfaced several times over the years as a <a href="/wiki/Running_gag" title="Running gag">running gag</a> between McMahon and any <a href="/wiki/Face_(professional_wrestling)" title="Face (professional wrestling)">face</a> wrestler he is feuding with at that particular time, and was included on the 2006 McMahon DVD.<a href="#cite_note-DVD-26">[25]</a> As a commentator, McMahon was a <a href="/wiki/Face_(professional_wrestling)" title="Face (professional wrestling)">babyface</a> "voice of the fans", a contrast to the <a href="/wiki/Heel_(professional_wrestling)" title="Heel (professional wrestling)">heel</a> <a href="/wiki/Color_commentator" title="Color commentator">color commentator</a>, usually <a href="/wiki/Jesse_Ventura" title="Jesse Ventura">Jesse Ventura</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Heenan" title="Bobby Heenan">Bobby Heenan</a> or <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Lawler" title="Jerry Lawler">Jerry Lawler</a>.

As in the previous match, Austin used his pickup truck as a weapon against The Rock and the <a href="/wiki/Nation_of_Domination" title="Nation of Domination">Nation of Domination</a> gang. Austin decided to forfeit the title to The Rock, but instead, Austin gave The Rock a Stone Cold Stunner and knocked McMahon off the ring ropes.

After saying that both deserved to be the WWF Champion, Austin drove a <a href="/wiki/Ice_resurfacer" title="Ice resurfacer">Zamboni</a> into the arena and attacked McMahon before police officers stopped him, and arrested him.
