WWE[ 1] (World Wrestling Entertainment), formerly known as WWF (World Wrestling Federation World Professional Wrestling Association), was founded by Vincen Mcmahon, an American professional sports legend, by his father on 1982. G Federal Global Wrestling Association bought it and changed its name to WWF. It has been established for more than 20 years. In March 2002, she lost the patent lawsuit with another WWF (World Wildlife Federation), so she reluctantly gave up the old brand that had been used for more than 20 years. It was renamed WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment World Wrestling Entertainment), and in 200 1 year, it acquired WCW (World Champion Wrestling World Champion Wrestling) and ECW (Extreme Champion Wrestling Extreme Champion Wrestling), and merged them into WWE with a huge system.

WWE introduction in detail

WWE is the largest wrestling group in the world at present. It has three big columns: Raw, Smackdown and ECW.

WWE is the largest wrestling group in the world at present. It has three big columns: RAW, Smackdown and ECW. Many people don't know what RAW means. In fact, RAW used to be called RAW, which means war. So you should be able to see, right? RAW is the antonym of war, and then spell it. Briefly, RAW IS WAR can be simply understood as "anti-war is war", but later, because of some political war problems, RAW IS WAR was renamed as RAW, which means pure anti-war. For the United States, which has been at war all the year round, it is indeed an irony. (Raw being sold to Donald Trump is actually a story. )

Smackdown comes from a common phrase "Smackdown with a rock layer on your candy ass! ! "

Before ECW was acquired by WWE, it was also a very powerful wrestling group, and once joined hands with WCW against WWE. However, because most viewers didn't like the bloody style of ECW, and there were some mistakes in the management of ECW, it was finally acquired by WWE, and was re-included in the weekly routine program by WWE in 2003.

Before 1980s, wrestling was as serious as boxing, but after 1982, wrestling became a more entertaining game.

There are many different characters in the competition, just like drama, which can be divided into ugly and ugly. Batista, Triple H and Locke are all very popular heroes, while randy orton and Archie are villains, but these roles are not fixed. Sometimes heroes become villains, and villains can also become heroes. But it is precisely because of its ups and downs and bloody battles that WWE is becoming more and more popular, and its games are also broadcast all over the world. Now WWE has nearly 500 million viewers every week. With more than 6 million monthly visitors in official website, it is one of the most popular websites in the United States 10.

WWE currently has several programs such as RAW, Smackdown, ECW, Heat, House Show, etc. (WWE programs are often adjusted, subject to the actual situation at that time). In addition, there is a special competition held by WWE every few weeks-PPV (pay-per-view). Pay-per-view means that every time a TV station broadcasts a PPV program, it has to buy its broadcasting rights. That is to say, if it wants to broadcast all PPVs within one year, it has to buy the broadcasting rights from WWE every time, because the price of each PPV is different. The most popular PPV- March wrestling craze. There are many wrestlers in WWE now, but only a few can compete regularly, which mainly depends on the strength and popularity of the players and the plot arrangement of WWE. The venue takes the form of touring performance, with a large audience, and the monthly WWE special program-PPV (pay-per-view) also adopts this method. In March 2002, WWE held a tour competition in three Asian cities, namely Tokyo, Japan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Singapore. Wherever it went, it caused a sensation in the local area. At the end of 2003, WWE was registered in Guangzhou.

In addition to WWE, the strength of other wrestling leagues in the United States can not be underestimated. For example, TNA, some former WWE superstars will come to TNA after leaving WWE, such as Kurt Angle and Booker T, which also shows TNA's ability. ROH is considered as the most potential wrestling league today. Its competition is realistic and its rhythm is fierce. Many fans will join in every performance.

This WWE champion.

As of RAW 2009. 12. 15, champions will change frequently.

World heavyweight champion (knockout): undertaker.

Intercontinental champion (smackdown! ) Drew McIntyre:

Women's champion) (SMACKDOWN! ): mickie james

WWE Champion (Raw): seamus

American champion (raw): Miz

WWE Women's Champion (Unprocessed): Mei Linna

WWE doubles champion, world doubles champion (two champions combined into one, that is, the undisputed doubles champion): generation D-X.

ECW champion (ecw): Christian

Advantages and disadvantages of WWE role

Everything in the world is black and white, positive and negative. The story of WWE Wrestling League is no exception. Although it is a virtual thing, the audience is willing to watch it, and the wrestler is willing to play it. The advantages and disadvantages of the role of the wrestler are also shown. The difference is that decent people cheer when they appear, and villains boo. Their similarity is popularity. When the villain is imagined by the audience,

Randy orton is WWE's number one adulterer, which can be said to be extremely bad in terms of role, but why is anyone willing to support him under the banner of Lei Dianhua? The answer lies in the audience's perspective on wrestling. Some people are fascinated by decent people, and they are fascinated by them, so they can't be regarded as bodhisattvas. They hate the villain and even want to chew him off. I have no prejudice against the pros and cons of this role. When we comment on a wrestler's good or bad, or whether we like him or not, we are commenting on his role, not himself. People who like to watch wrestlers' skills decide who they like and who they don't like. This is everyone's unanimous view. The only difference is the role they like. The first time I watched wrestling, I was very involved. At that time, I didn't know this thing was a show. When you see someone who likes to cheat, you scold and complain in front of the TV. Now I know it's good to participate in wrestling, but don't.

Generally, when newcomers just set foot in the ring, WWE will arrange them to play villain roles in most cases. The role of villains is to cultivate new people's growth and progress through booing. Long-term villains will make wrestlers understand the meaning of the ring more deeply and experience the feeling of adversity personally. What good wrestler doesn't have a villain? In order to let the newcomers learn from the villain, WWE's plot group is very difficult, but it is also very nerve-racking for a wrestler to receive the script of the villain. Because everyone is a good person, it is not easy for them to figure out a villain. Moreover, when they were students studying wrestling before, there was no performance class, only simple wrestling practice, which had nothing to do with the role in the ring. The difficulty can be imagined.

It's not too difficult for decent people to perform. They just need to move their attitude towards life to the arena for a series of beautification. Up to now, 70% people in WWE minor league are villains, and among these poor decent people, there are not many newcomers who can directly support those villains. Whether a wrestler is good or not depends on how many decent cheers he has in the ring. But how many boos he got in the process of being a villain. A wrestler who can play the villain can certainly play a decent role. On the contrary, a wrestler who can play a decent role may not be able to play a villain. Just like Vincent McMann, he has been appearing in front of the audience as an old fox for decades, and the boos he won are virtually cheers.

[Edit this paragraph] What's the difference between wrestling and wrestling?

Wrestling is not wrestling. The "horn" here includes almost all unarmed combat techniques such as boxing, kicking, elbow and wrestling. The venue is allowed to extend to the stands or even the lounge. Therefore, wrestling is a more primitive, more casual, more popular and more exciting free fight. Wrestling and wrestling are also very different in the form of competition, such as the most popular hell cage match, buried alive match, deadly weapon hardcore match, royal 30-man war and so on, which are impossible to appear in wrestling.

[Edit this paragraph] True and false wrestling?

Is wrestling real or fake? Many people who are new to wrestling will ask this question. You can't understand if they fight like that, but you may find that they don't really fight, so there will be doubts about whether wrestling is really fake.

It's really hard to explain this, because wrestling really seems to be throwing people, hitting people, and sometimes killing people (similar incidents often happen in Japanese small groups). As I said before, wrestling is not wrestling, nor is it a fighting sport similar to boxing. In order to increase the enjoyment, some plots are often interspersed in the game. For example, we all know that the funeral home and Kane are brothers, which is for the needs of the plot. We can often see players fall to the ground from a ladder several meters high or fall heavily on the iron steps by their opponents. Such a scene is not completed by special effects, and the painful expressions of the players are not all fake. Of course, in order to make the competition fierce and exciting, the players often cooperate with each other, so that the movements can be beautiful and the safety of the players can be guaranteed. Most of the props and weapons they use are inferior, not as strong as the audience imagined, and players will also have reservations about their own strength when using attacks. In fact, most wrestling fans don't judge wrestling by its authenticity. WWE's nearly 500 million viewers illustrate this point. If you look at wrestling with the concept of truth and falsehood, you will never feel the charm of wrestling!

[Edit this paragraph] Why can't a wrestler die?

We can often see some players being held high and then falling heavily. Some players were killed by the other side with iron chairs. Why can't they be killed? This is mainly because the players are specially trained, have strong resistance and can effectively protect themselves when their opponents attack. Then the wrestling table is specially handled. When the athlete jumped from a height, the hoop absorbed most of the impact. Of course, wrestlers are also flesh and blood, and there is a family like ours. Why do we want them killed?

[Edit this paragraph] Role source

Every wrestler has his own role, just as every big company has its own brand and logo. Usually, every wrestler will set his own role, nickname and mantra of the role and so on. So many times, the role of a wrestler is the wrestler himself. As long as the player thinks of a name, he can register the role name. But there is an exception, that is, the undertaker Kane, all of which are carefully designed by the crew.

[Edit this paragraph] Explanation of wrestling terms

Gladiation-an event between wrestlers, is part of the plot. For example, Kane's attack on Linda McMahon in July 2003 was an angle that made Shane McMahon VS Kane unforgivable.

Baby face/face/baby-in short, it means "good people", decent people or people who are popular with the audience.

Blading/blade/bladejob/gig/geek/juice/juice-just to make the game more real, violent and exciting, the wrestler cut himself with a blade and bled. The blade can be hidden by the wrestler himself, or obtained from the manager or even the referee.

Blowup/Blowup-When both parties are exhausted, some measures will be taken to give them a short rest. These methods are: both sides make moves together, then fall down together and rest in the ring. Or use some joint skills such as face lock to lock each other. For example, in the Iron Man match between Bret Hart and michael hickenbottom, you can see this kind of enlargement/enlargement.

Booker-A person who decides which wrestlers to use and how to use them in a wrestling organization. They can decide which side will win the game. There is more than one Booker in the Grand Wrestling League. For example, ECW mainly focuses on Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer.

Boys /The Boys-In a wrestling organization, in order to distinguish some wrestlers with higher status from other wrestlers with different status, the wrestlers with higher status are called boys/The Boys.

Broadway/Broadway-tied within the stipulated time.

Bump-impact, that is, a wrestler falls from a height. For example, mick foley fell from the top of the cage in hell in a cell competition, which was a big bump.

Buried-Buried, some wrestlers can't be superior because of their fame, strength or status, and are arranged to lose the game. Just like in RAW HHH, many opponents were defeated by Bury. Rob van dam's long-term failure to become a top star was also blamed on Berry.

Canned heat/heat engine-it is to play pre-recorded audience cheers in the stadium to make the scene more active and atmospheric. For example, in previous WCW global TV programs, you would hear strong cheers from the audience, but what you saw on the screen was the audience sitting quietly in their seats. In the past, Goldberg's cheers were made like this.

Card-refers to a performance, including TV programs and PPV, for the situation. For example, the last merciless card means that all competitions are finally decided without mercy.

Clean end-the game ended legally, that is, there was no interference from others and no other cheating.

Dark match-a game held in front of wrestling TV programs or PPV. The purpose of these competitions is to get the audience into the state, let some new wrestlers try the competition in front of a large audience, and also test the photography and broadcasting equipment. These games are generally not broadcast. Many wrestlers have to play dark games before entering RAW and Smackdown.

Doomed finish-the original referee was knocked unconscious in the game, and then another referee ran over and counted it three times, announcing that one side won and the game was over. But when the referee who was knocked unconscious woke up, he overturned the result again. Although this ending mode is called Dusty Finish, which was not invented by Dusty Rhodes (Goldust's father), when Dusty Rhodes was Booker of WCW, he often arranged the results of this competition, so he named it after him.

Feud-is the discord and dispute between wrestlers, including events and competitions. A feud usually starts from some angles and ends with a game or another angle.

Gas/on the gas/gassed up-used to describe wrestlers who use steroids to make themselves stronger and have more muscles. Such as hulk hogan, Scott Steiner and triple H.

Shantou/Shantou-Shantou can refer to the role of a wrestler or the weapons and objects used in the competition. Shantou is the object that has been tampered with before the game. For example, a table with gimmicks is specially made, and it is easy to break in half during the game.

Going home-refers to a wrestler who wins a match by benefiting from his opponent or referee.

Green-used to describe some inexperienced wrestlers who make mistakes in the competition. They all need improvement. Recently, La Resistance looks green because they made a mistake in the game. Spike didn't hit the table when they threw it, which made his head hit the edge of the table, which was quite dangerous.

Spitting-refers to the deep cutting with a blade in the game and a lot of blood. Sometimes it's a mistake, sometimes it's intentional.

Hard way-it means that bleeding is not caused by cutting yourself with a blade, but by natural bleeding in the game, sometimes by accident. But many times it is inevitable, such as some hard-core games.

Heat-it has two meanings: first, it refers to the reaction of the audience, generally referring to booing. Second, it refers to the discord between wrestlers or other backstage personnel in reality.

Heel-as opposed to face, refers to bad people and people who are not popular with the audience. Heels can make faces more popular with the audience.

Higher-refers to dangerous movements and wrestling movements. It is often used to describe high-altitude sports, such as the Moon saults and 450 splash.

Hope point/fake counterattack-When the face wrestler was hit, he made a brief counterattack, but after a while, he continued to be controlled by the other side. This is used to raise the mood of the audience.

Hot tag-describes that in doubles, a face wrestler can finally relay with his partner after being attacked by his heel opponent. This can usually arouse the emotions of the audience.

Family performance-a trip that was not filmed. So it won't appear on TV programs or PPV.

Hulking Up-This is named after hulk hogan, because he often goes crazy after a series of attacks by his opponents, is not afraid of their attacks, and then launches a counterattack. This is the case.

Job/ do a job/over-this means losing the game. Some wrestlers were arranged to lose the game. They are just "doing their job" or "beating" their opponents.

Jobber/Jabroni/ Enhance Talent /Ham and Egger-a wrestler who often loses in the competition, just like a clown. Steven Richards of RAW and Funaki of Smackdown are typical wholesalers.

Mark-refers to fans who believe in wrestling, blind obedience and gullibility. For example, a huge fan of steve austin can be called steve austin Mark.

Not for sale-refers to a series of attacks by the other side that have no effect on a wrestler and can't hurt him at all. It seems invincible For example, hulk hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, the undertaker and Goldberg often have this situation.

Paper-issue free tickets to the audience to increase the attendance.

Plants-refers to wrestlers who pretend to be spectators in the audience to watch the game, but play their own roles and take action at the appropriate time. For example, in the RAW program in August, Rob Conway pretended to be a soldier watching the game in the audience, but later he attacked Dudley Boyz.

Pop-refers to the cheers of the audience. Contrary to heat.

Potato/Stiff-refers to attacking an opponent, which really does some harm to the opponent.

Refbump-refers to the referee being knocked unconscious. At this time, heel wrestlers can make improper attacks, or there are off-site factors to interfere.

Rest hold/rest point-this is similar to blasting/blasting. After a round of fast-paced attacks, both sides of the game take a short rest by using the face lock, and both sides fall down at the same time.

Rat/ring rat-refers to a woman who comes to the competition site to meet wrestlers or even sleep, and is considered as a crazy fan.

Roadagent-refers to the person who works in the background and helps booker. At present, there are some brokers in WWE Road: dean malenko, Pat Patterson, Fett Finley, arn anderson, Tim White, Jerry Brisco, Tony garea, Michael Hayes, Johnny Ace, Bruce prichard and William regal.

ScrewJob-The result of a game made the audience very dissatisfied. Games usually end because of interference or other improper means, which can be said to be a scam. The most famous screw work is 1997 Survior series Bret Hart VS michael hickenbottom, which gives a deeper definition of screw work, that is, not only the audience is cheated, but also the wrestling in the ring.

Sell/sell-that is, the pain that a wrestler shows after being attacked is mostly staged, but some of it is really painful.

Shoot/shoot-that is, what happened between wrestlers is not in the plot, that is, it is true. For example, some grumpy wrestlers may become real fights in the competition, but this situation is rare in WWE.

Work-Describe the fake action in wrestling. For wrestlers, their job is just to go to the boxing ring as planned and take part in the competition.

Work rate-refers to the frequency of wrestling in the ring. For example, Kurt Angle, chris benoit, Eddie Guerrero and chris jericho often participate in boxing competitions, so their work rate is relatively high.
