Sadly with these big names they will always be acting from the shadows.

What I mean by this is that is normal for people that are influential in a field, even after retiring, their opinion will be taken into account for some business decisions. So some of the problems will remain, but I also acknowledge the importance he had in wrestling, for good or bad.

@Ace Marvel I’d suggest checking out YouTube channels like WrestlingBios and OSWReview to learn more about wrestling.


I haven’t actually watched a Bios videos but I’ve heard good things about them from others, and OSW give really good in depth insight of particular shows and such. Their first episode is on WrestleMania 1 and he dives into the history of Mania, which is like WWE’s version of the NFL’s SuperBowl.

OSWReview is probably the best choice because it mixes a lot of different genres and comedy into wrestling. They love to take the piss out of bad wrestling.

Bios is probably the most digestible for a newbie out there.

Bret Hart says Vince McMahon will be "sorely missed" following his retirement from WWE.

Hart was interviewed by Bill Apter at The Gathering Wrestling Convention and was asked about his reaction to McMahon's departure.

"I'm like everybody else, I'm mostly just kind of surprised," Hart responded. "I don't think anybody's ever made as big a footprint as Vince McMahon and, you know, I feel kind of sad about it, actually. I know people probably think I would be gloating or happy to see him go through what he's going but I don't. I feel bad that it happened or whatever has happened. I think his loss or his absence from the business will be sorely missed."

Hart was in attendance at Ric Flair's Last Match at Starrcast V. He could be seen saying something to Flair after the main event. Hart was asked what he said to Flair as the pay-per-view was coming to a close.

"I just congratulated him and let him know that I appreciated what he did and what he was trying to do."

"There are not too many guys that would have the guts to go in there and do what Ric Flair did and I admire that about it."

Hart was also asked what he thought of Flair's match on the show.

"It wasn't a Bret Hart/Ric Flair match but that's what happens when a 73-year-old guy wrestles. So, it's not the easiest thing to do and I think everybody realized how hard it was for him to do that and in the end, I stand and I applaud him."

Super PACs are such an American Politics thing that I don't get that let the rich do stuff like this. That ended in Linda having the Small Businesses Administration and to this day are still involved in politics. These are plans in the making for years.

Now I know the Eras, that it was WF before, then WWF but got into it with World Wildlife Fund, And now it's WWE. I can get behind the concept of Eras.

Next I'll check the one you suggested.

It was actually World Wide Wrestling Federation, from 1963-1979, and before that, it was an entity known as Capitol Wrestling Corporation from 1953 until 1963 (and still owned WWWF/WWF proper until Vince's Titan Sports bought it in 1982).
