The claim that the WWWF quietly re-joined the NWA in 1971 is not substantiated by any evidence. Please change the sentence "Mondt left the promotion in the late 1960s and although the WWWF had previously withdrawn from the NWA, McMahon quietly re-joined in 1971." to "Mondt left the promotion in the late 1960s."

Article needs more sources
This article is missing sources on many sections, hence I have added a "more sources needed" template. Also it uses sources like IMDb at places, so "better sources needed" template has been placed too.
Instead of edit-warring User:Vjm827 and removing the templates, you should try improving the article. If you keep this up, I'll have to invariably complain you. Linkin Prankster (talk) 05:01, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
- Adding templates is just lazy...if you feel like it needs improving, no one is stopping you from doing it. Slapping a template on an article just screams of pretentiousness - "The article isn't up to my standards, but I'm too important to fix it myself, so let the 'little people' do it". Vjm827 (talk) 04:58, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
- I suggest you tone down your language first User:Vjm827, it's not like you have done anything else on the article other than edit warring. Linkin Prankster (talk) 07:30, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
- What's wrong with my language? I didn't use profanity or lob any personal attacks. I just think slapping a template on an article is both lazy and snobby (and that applies to anyone who does it...not any particular editor). Snobby in that one likes to critique, and lazy in that one doesn't want to do the supposedly needed work themselves to fix it and dumps it off on others. And I have done plenty of work on this article under my former name of Vjmlhds, so don't give me "You haven't done anything on this article". And 2 reverts does not an edit war make, so that is a loaded accusation. Vjm827 (talk) 15:08, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
- If you did contribute on another account, then I apologise. I wasn't aware. Regardless, your behaviour has been extensively rude and full of insults and chiding language since the beginning. I don't want to lose my own cool here, so you leave my no choice but to complain. Linkin Prankster (talk) 15:12, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Why did so many changes occur to the WWF as Bill Clinton became U.S. President?
That is a question I would like to know the answer to. Though not directly referencing the 1990s WWF by name, there is a reliable source noting how "dramatic cultural changes" were occurring in the United States as he became president. The then-WWF was most certainly no exception to those "dramatic cultural changes." WWE Raw even debuted only nine days before his first presidential inauguration on January 11, 1993.MyGosh789 (talk) 01:09, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
Founded in 1980?
The date founded is incorrect. WWE was founded in 1963 as WWWF or 1953 as Capital Wrestling. Please update. Thank you. ~2026-10283-09 (talk) 03:49, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
- 1980 is when Vince and Linda McMahon incorporated Titan Sports, Inc, the corporate entity that is now World Wrestling Entertainment LLC. The date is correct from a legal perspective. oknazevad (talk) 17:10, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- I understand but Vince McMahon acquired WWWF through Titan Sports. The WWWF already existed as a company. WWE acquired AAA that doesn't mean AAA was founded in 2025. Can this at least show all three dates under founded? 1953 as CWC, 1963 as WWWF and 1980 as Titan Sports? I would be fine with that. Thanks for the reply. ~2026-11680-19 (talk) 12:29, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
