Professional wrestling is a show with international projection, as it has fans all over the world. One of the companies that are dedicated to this form of entertainment is World Wrestling Entertainment, better known by its acronym WWE.
The fights promoted by this organization are broadcast in live shows and also on television and via the internet. WWE is dedicated to the dissemination of wrestling as its main business, but in its commercial activity the distribution of merchandising, movies, video games and other products associated with this type of fight is also important. His business success has been so remarkable that his shares have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Other businesses related to wrestling have been absorbed by this business group. Its headquarters are in the city of Stamford in the state of Connecticut in the United States and its chief executive officer and founder is professional wrestling promoter Vince McMahon.
The WWE Raw television program has been broadcast since 1993 and is a success with the audience
Every week professional wrestling fans have a television date. They enjoy a live broadcast that is broadcast from different countries of the world. Each program lasts three hours and during this time the wrestlers are the real stars of the show.
Each fighter represents a fictional character
In traditional combat sports, each fighter presents himself to the public with his own identity. However, in WWE the stars become a unique character. In the jargon of werstling they talk about the tough guys or hells and the face or technical. This aspect makes professional wrestling a curious mix where theater, performance and sports rivalry are combined. In a wrestling match, the staging and the plot are as important as the final result of the fight.
- Dean Ambrose is one of the great superstars and his character represents a lunatic villain (in the past he was part of a trio of fighters known as The Shield).
- Brock Lesnar comes from football and mixed martial arts. The character he represents stands out for his intimidating screams and for a provocative attitude in front of his opponents.
- John Cena is a veteran professional wrestler with a highly successful career. In his career he has represented various characters.
- Randy Orton has been WWE champion on several occasions, both individually and in pairs. One of his most popular nicknames is "The legend killer" and as a character he has been an icon of the tough fighter.
In this show there are also mythical fighters and the winner of the competition becomes the WWE Divas Champion. Some of the superstars are Kelly Kelly, twin sisters Brie and Nikki Bella, Natalya Neidhart or Beth Phoenix.
