- To summarise the entirety of WWE's long and colorful history is impossible within a blurb or anecdote. Where does one begin to tell the full story of professional wrestling's most renowned and famous promotion, in all of its vivid splendor and gritty substance? That's why we here at Cultaholic Wrestling have undertaken the monumental task of presenting more than 60 years of WWE history in this very special presentation, in which we will attempt to do justice the life story, so to speak, of the McMahon empire, the family business that has entertained millions for well over half a century. This is The Complete History Of WWE.

You’re welcome!
You guys are amazing. Such quality wrestling info and news. Amazing quality, great personalities, varied content. Much love from across the pond in America 🇺🇸
This is amazing
Great video
Although Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, John Cena, & Roman Reigns were the faces of WWE. Undertaker was still the cornerstone for WWE in all of those era’s!!!
What about Rock?
@@Jetup24 the rock was never THE FACE of era of wwe. But he was always one of the too guys!
Fr all he truly is the cornerstone, all those faces of the company came and went while Undertaker was the one true constant for 30 years
@@TheGrandDame27 I'd say in the year 2000... The rock was defo the face of the WWE, that was rock's year
First it was Andre the Giant and then it was the Undertaker
This is what separates Cultaholic from the rest, they make fantastic in depth documentaries/ videos like this, what culture and other RUclipsrs should take notes
What Culture needs to figure out how to keep politics out of their videos before they attempt anything of this magnitude
@Max B This is just screams that you're butthurt that they don't represent whatever your politics are. You're being a snowflake while probably calling people that.
@@DevilSurvivor69 Maybe you don't understand most people just want wrestling content. If they wanted politics they would turn on the news or watch their favourite political commentator. Annoying activists are like locusts infecting everything from gaming communities to pushing politics in films and series. People like to escape reality without being told what awful people they are and they don't like being told how they are supposed to feel or think. Fuck What Culture lol, bunch of pasty white boys that love to prop themselves up on a pedestal of superiority feeling so high and mighty. I don't care wether somebody is on the Left or Right. Just stick to talking about wrestling. It's people like that what keep everyone divided when they should be joined together over their love of wrestling. You shouldn't judge people by your own standards, not everyone is like you.
Plus the d riding by comment section
I 100% agree with this! Wrestling bios is really good too!
No matter how old I get, wrestling never fails to take me back to that magical time and place where anything is possible if you believe and support your heroes.
I'm 50 and I remember those great days of WWF in the 80s.
It's the best!

No.
@@dvda9725funny 😐
Nazis...
They’ve gone mad. We’re one step closer to the “every wrestler ever” ranking.
Wat happened to jobbers ?
Every. Wrestler. Ever.
after the arrival of the shield and undertakers winning streak finally being broken by lesnar, we quit watching wwe. when aew came along it was about a year before my mom died from cancer that i decided to start watching wrestling again. for my mom and i all my years of growing up, watching wrestling together was our thing. much like how the world lost Luke Harper aka mr. brodie lee which broke my heart to find out he died. my mom's passing on april 24th 2021 broke me even more. i miss her everyday and watching this, not gonna lie, i did cry a few times.
1:26:14 that’s one of those things about wrestling today that I really miss, the flashes going off whenever someone would do a big move or something worth taking a picture and then seeing the 10s of thousands of flashes going off. It always made those moments actually feel big.
It’s just one of those small details that I really miss tbh.
That and every arena is filled with LEDs now
@@bxsicjeff2819makes them stand out though
It brings to mind iconic moments like HBK diving onto Triple H at SummerSlam 2002 and Brock Lesnar's spectacular botch at WrestleMania XIX.
Nothing makes a Sunday better than Cultaholic breaking down the history of WWE
This was class
I don’t know. Watching the patriots and cowboys both lose in exceedingly embarrassing ways was pretty cool
@@richardtherichard26 oh that’s always makes a Sunday great
How is your comment 5 days ago when the video is only 4 days old 🤨
@@Respect12948 because they had it set the day before to premiere
This did not feel like a 3 hour video. What an absolute beauty of a documentary.
I felt the same way. This could have been 5 hours and I wouldn’t have noticed. I can listen to Sam and Jack do documentaries all day long. Educational and therapeutic. ❤😊
It’s crazy how people booed Cena and claimed to have hated him, but he was literally keeping wrestling in the mainstream by a string for years and now everyone misses him
Ernest...No.. Characters like him are the reason why people stop caring 15 years ago..Facts..He could never fill Hulks, Rocks, Or stone cold shoes.. Just a silly character made for the 8 an under age group.
John Cena is the 🐐
@@BrandonApolloOfficial hulk hogan also a superhero like character always wins and impacted other careers and his problems out side wrestling but john cena is the guy which is the important piller of wwe
@@BrandonApolloOfficial If Vince had booked him better, and if he had chosen to elevate guys like Barrett and Riley when he was in his prime instead of burying them, he would be right up there today with those three guys. He had the talent, it was mostly the booking that let him down. Not saying he didn't make some poor decisions that ended up having a negative impact on the company, but still. It was mostly the booking.
And this is what I get for allowing someone else to use my account. $_$
John Cena is the epitome of “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone”.
Facts man smh fans that booed literally sabotaged John cena career total BS cena should have and could have won more championships and been on top more at like hogan.
@@JayWIll2000sI just watched wwe on 2000s bcoz of him. Idk he had that charisma as lead guy. His style and song and entry and his talks were cool to listen. I know it's scripted but he did his character very well. When I got older I loved stone cold and rock much more.
They're two of the main reasons I stopped watching wwe. Boring as hell when we'd just had years of absolute madness with the attitude era.
Give me 100 Hardyz, Dudleys, Blackmans over that repetitive boring crap that came after.
Don't miss him at all. He's the guy who drove me away from wrestling. The Super Cena era is one of the worst periods in WWE history. Just a dollar store version of the Rock and Austin.
@@NicCage-eq9tnCena's alot different. Not in-ring style, all 3 are pretty much brawlers with a few power moves, but with Austin it's better to see him chase the title and fight Vince, Cena's deal was crazy title reigns against whoever.
This is going to be an unreal video. Shout out to every single person at Cultaholic. UP THE FUCKING CULTAHOLIC!
I can't help but appreciate the sheer level of professionalism with which you spoke on the Benoit tragedy. It really took me back to first hearing of it on the news.
Life’s a trip
Three weeks later and this video could've actually been the COMPLETE history
I'm only 30 minutes in and all I can say is. Wow
The production value, the editing, the commentary, the seamless transitions. Absolutely everything on point lads ❤️
Now finished the whole thing I'm amazed
Rock’s importance was grossly understated. He wasn’t even mentioned until ‘98 and he was mentioned as just another name among many others. like he didn’t go on to be the biggest star in the hottest year in the history of the company in 2000.
A great, great documentary but should have made more mention of Rock's transition from hated face in 1997 to carrying the company throughout Austin's absence in 2000. Likewise, no mention of HBKs heel turn in 1992 or Bret Hart winning the IC from Piper, two moments that laid the foundations of the New Generation.
Still great viewing, though. Thanks lads! 👏👏👏
@@alm5266 I agree
Agreed
Based on the thumbnail it appears that the creators of this particular video lean towards other stars than the rock despite his status as arguably the GOAT
@@civildiscourse7626 Rock is not the GOAT. Not even close
I’m honestly at a loss for words. This was hands down the absolute best documentary I’ve ever seen. I could type all night and not come close to expressing my gratitude and adoration to Cultaholic. Thank you, all!! ❤️
Lol
The best ?
@@ooooo524 yes! This is well-developed and has a voice built for it. Gives much necessary info
I wouldn't call this a documentary. This is more of a Wikipedia article in video format. Not saying that's a negative thing, because this is great. But a documentary usually involves going in-depth on a specific subject.
There's always one.😒
Very professional 1952 to 2022 wow. Very rare I would even consider or attempt to watch an almost 3hr documentary, but glad I took the time, thank you. I hope you hard work and talents bring you more success.
This is why Cutoholic is one of if not the best Wresting channel. Them doing stuff like this puts them above the rest of all the other wrestling channels. This documentary is so good. This is something you would see on TV. It's that good!
This is the best wrestling documentary ever created.
Guys - this was a stunning piece of work. Bravo the fantastic team at Cultaholic. It'd be cool to see one of these for WCW and ECW as well at some point down the line. Maybe even a whole series on a bunch of the old territories depending on what information is available.
Jack Sharpe, that would be awesome.
This video was awesome and I’m sure took a lot of effort and time to produce so I joined there pateron to support them !!!
A NJPW would be cool
These soy boys never watched WCW or ECW.
@@dvda9725 they definitely did, and have many in depth docs about both.
This is as epic as it gets. No huge TV company with their multi-million dollar budget can beat that attention to detail, delivery and production value
They certainly could, but they don't.
@@thebugaboo that's not anywhere close to the truth. Just like we could feed the whole world but don't.
@@thebugaboo it's proven again and again. There is more than enough food, we just choose to worry more about individual success. But you really disagree that big networks could absolutely make this content if they wanted to?
@@thebugaboo I just think it's a wild fallacy that simply because an entity doesn't do something, that automatically means that they can't.
@@thebugaboo I never mentioned a time period, I simply said that right now WWE or whomever could make just as good a documentary if they were motivated to do so. Probably much better but I'll be conservative and say just as good. When did it become anything but a brand new company that I was talking about, in referring to a well established very very rich company with unlimited resources in both money, video library, and way more experienced staff.
This def helped me catch up with some of the more recent storylines as I get back into watching WWE again. Been watching once more for almost a year and I am so excited for this next Wrestlemania!
Sam, Justin, Dan and the rest of the Cultaholic Family... You have truly outdone yourselves with this masterpiece. Bravo!
Bruh. The effort this took. Insane.
This is my second post on this and I feel like maybe I’m annoying but..
I don’t know how many times I felt like crying and actually did cry out of just being so hyped.
I love pro wrestling. It’s been a pillar of my life and will continue to be.
This documentary maybe the best I’ve ever seen.
To watch this as so much chaos is happening within WWE right now, so much unknowns of the future of the company and the product, is insane. Thank you Cultaholic for this amazing presentation.
As usual, Cultaholic Wrestling never ceases to amaze us..
This video oughta be fun.
The complete history of World Wrestling Entertainment...? These CW guys are going big to close out 2022 with a huge documentary that is not sugarcoated. Great.
its not even the complete history. complete would mean they talked about every match ever to happen in wwe regardless if it was on tv or not which they didnt
@@RealSkyeBlue Why? Why do you have to be like this?
@@TheThird1977 just the truth
@@RealSkyeBlue no you're sarcastic
@@ReadytoDiveIn no I'm not 😆
This is an amazing piece of work. Love him or hate him, Vince was a force of nature determined to dominate.
I waited till my Xmas break to watch this. It was well worth the wait. Great work as always
If this isn't a 12+hour marathon, I'll eat my hat
EDIT: the hat tastes great guys, thanks for the cooking tips lmao
It had better take shorter than Sam's.
Goes for 11 hours and 59 minutes then has to eat a hat.
Better start marinating that hat lol
You better preheat the oven!
Have fun eating the hat!
This is why Cultaholic is at the top of the wrestling commentary heap. No one can touch you guys for quality and content.
This movie needs to be seen by every WWE fan. Fabulous work!
This man didn’t miss a beat. He covered everything! Nice video. This was Dope! 💭
This is far too good , should be a 3 part netflix style documentary. I hope you are all rewarded financially for the clear time and effort you put into this. You choose the perfect guy in Sam to narrate
Damn, it’s amazing how you guys pump out better, more authentic documentaries than the WWE themselves, these kind of videos are so much better than stuff like the A&E docs and stuff. Thanks for this great content, must have been a massive undertaking
Best part about this:
Learning the entire WWE lore.
Worst part about this:
You keep searching every single moment of your childhood memories coming back.
44:27 Many who grew up during the Attitude Era assume that it was when pro-wrestling peaked in popularity. But the highest Nielsen rating that the Monday Night Wars achieved for a single show was 8.1 when Raw went unopposed, while the highest for Nitro was 6.0, also unopposed. Even if you combine those numbers despite them happening on different dates, they still don't reach that 15.2 by the 1st Main Event in '88. An 11.6 was achieved by the 2nd iteration, 12.8 by the 3rd, 8.6 by the 4th, & 6.7 by the 5th in '91. Saturday Night's Main Event also drew bigger ratings in general (reaching a zenith of 11.6) than either Raw or Smackdown (the latter maxing out at 5.8) during their respective heydays. That's one of the reasons why The Golden Era is officially referred to as such.
I hope you have forgotten when austin came out in jab 99 to protect man kind win ..with head shot on rocks head ..that was 9.1
@@jammyrapper7426 That was for a segment only. Raw drew 5.7 overall while Nitro had 5.0. At least half of the original 31-episode run of Saturday Night's Main Event drew higher than 9.1.
Just finished watching it and I think it is safe to say that this is Cultaholic's Magnum Opus from the 5+ years that it has been in operation. Bravo to Justin, Sam, and Dan for the excellent documentary and to anyone else who was involved in some form or another. It was quite a herculean task but you guys pulled it off.
I saw someone mention it below that it would be cool to see this done with WCW and ECW. At least the upside for those is it won't be as long to work on given they haven't been around as long.
This has got to be the best youtube video ever. I had to watch in parts due to the length, but completely worth the watch
This was so well done. Thank you so much for all the hard work.
Anybody looking for the full WWE story, this is the video to watch.
My husband has been a lifelong fan of WWE, and I'm just getting into it now. Thank you for catching me up before we head to Wrestlemania in a few weeks for our honeymoon! 😁😁
Coming from a place to have not watched wrestling in years bc of my Era being going in the ring. I never thought I wud watch a 3hr documentary about it. Im COMPLETELY and UTTERLY speechless and im pressed by this. Hands down the best I have EVER watched. GREAT job guys. BEAUTIFUL
I was just bs-ing a search “The entire history of the WWE” and coincidentally Cultaholic uploaded this masterpiece. Thank you!
not even halfway, you guys already 'awed' me with in depth and detailed information..this is a gem..a MASTERPIECE!
Easily the most in-depth and comprehensive documentary on the history of WWE I’ve ever seen! Congrats to you guys for putting this opus together! Bravo! 👏
Lying in bed feeling like shit, trying to find something to watch and this comes up. Stellar work, lads! You are all superstars of wrestling RUclips. Cheers to a great 2023!
I'm blown away by this. The sheer scope & ambition are impressive even before the accomplishment. Congratulations to Sam, Justin and everyone involved on a job outstandingly done.
A superb production. If you want to get the full story of WWE, this is the one to watch. Thank you, Cultaholic Wrestling, for making this.
I'll never forget that line, and it always gives me chills.
"Benoit's brain, resembled that of an 85 year old alzheimers patient."
Big props on this fantastic video.
Sam's narration on this is remarkably exceptional. Conveys an awful lot of information but it all flows and crescendos beautifully. Great work team.
th importance of great writers
This was an absolute mamoth effort and it paid off! Absolutely incredible video that expertly compiled so much history and to think there's still so much that had to be glossed over to save this from being off pace.
Phenomenal job from everyone involved!
This was top tier, hell of a documentary you guys did an excellent job on this project.
Holy Jesus guys as a wrestling fan I normally just expect my wrestling RUclips channels to upload 10 minute news clips about what's going on WWE aew TNA etc but this is honestly what makes this wrestling RUclips channel the greatest of all time you put so much effort into your videos it's unreal let's not forget you guys made it five and a half hour long video ranking every single WrestleMania match there is and I watched all of it just like I'm about to watch all of this
I'm a wrestling historian, and after watching this, I finally was able to fill in the blanks about the company's existence before Vince Sr.. Information about Capitol Wrestling in it's early stages is hard to come by. What little I've read or heard has been sporadic at best. Thanks for pointing in the right direction to dig some more! 👍👍👍
Capital Wrestling was created by Vince Snr and Toots Mondt, their was no company before Vince Snr.
Im a professor of pro wrestling
@@andrewft31 Bro did you not listen to the documentary at all? Vince Sr. did NOT start and was not even a founder of Capital Wrestling… Jess McMahon was the original McMahon behind Capital Wrestling. Vince sr. Aka Vincent J. McMahon took over the company after his father if I’m not mistaken died. Then turned Capital Wrestling into the WWWF which later got shortened to WWF. Which then his son Vincent K. MacMahon aka Vince jr. bought from him & 3 other shareholders who keep it as WWF until he has to change it to WWE.
I know right. It's almost treated as if it all started with Bruno. I've always wondered why they keep everything from the early days so hush hush
Why would you care so much about mostly naked men, touching other mostly naked men? Definitely one of the weirdest forms of "entertainment"
I have to say referring to the territorial expansion of the 80's as "McManifesting Destiny" is the single best joke I have ever heard.
Good lord this must have taken a lot of time and effort. Kudos for putting together such an incredible production.
update: this was unbelievable!! Justin's writing was epic, it made me very jealous
My God great job gentlemen, I can't imagine how much time and effort must have gone into this. What I find amazing is you could have easilly doubled this, it's insane to think all of the history that makes up the crazy world of WWE. You guys really knocked it out of the park on this one!!!! 5 stars!!! (woulda been 6 in the Tokyo dome)
This video is absolutely superb and well worth the time spent watching it. You match the gold standard for the things that inspire me to write about wrestling when I do write
This right here was very well done and I gotta say that this was just absolutely incredible how they did it. Just can’t express how much of a great job they actually did
That was an amazing video! As someone who didn't really know a lot other than a handful of things pre-1998 that you'd see in WWE promo packages this was great to watch, learn and understand. Great job done by all!
I like it when Sam narrates videos, especially an all timer like this one. Good stuff.
This is one of the greatest documentaries I've ever seen in my life! And I LOVE documentaries. Great work, Cultaholic!
your channel has inspired me to get back into pro wrestling, the lore is fascinating and I have been binge watching ur content extensively, you do amazing work!
Amazing video!! Been a fan for decades and this brought me back to my younger years! I'd forgotten a few of the things from the past and you helped remind me. Thank you for this!! I hope you all had a pint or 5 after you finished this. Bravo!! 👏👏
I just know this is gonna be fire
EDIT I was right
Easily the best Wrestling Documentary to date. Thank you Cultaholic you are freaking beasts.
I respect how well spoken you are, and how well put together this documentary is. I can really tell you love talking about wrestling. 11/10 documentary
Incredible video! Shout out to Sam and anyone else who helped script, shoot, or edit this video. Y'all have been doing outstanding work for so long now
Hell yeah!
Everything Cultaholic produces is gold, but this documentary style uploads are of even better.
I watch yt every day... Not many videos in the platform managed to keep on watching 60 minutes or so in one go. Me sitting here, after 3 hours straight, I have to say, guys that was AMAZING. It's a work of art from start to end! Thank u very much, for this masterpiece Cultaholics!
I've only just discovered your channel, this was an fantastic documentary. Thanks for such an amazing, in-depth, video!
This might just be the best thing I’ve ever watched on RUclips. Cultaholic putting out premier content as always. Keep it up lads.
Hogan v Andre, The Montreal Screwjob, CM Punk’s Pipebomb, Vince finally retiring, and WrestleMania X-7 are probably the 5 most influential and memorable moments/events in this amazing and controversial company. I sure do miss the Attitude Era.
Bruno beating Rogers, Hogan Beating Sheik, Wrestlemania 1, Ric Flair Bringing Big Gold to WWF and winning the Rumble, Tyson joining Wrestlemania 14>>>> the pipebomb and X-7
Stone Cold vs Bret Hart, Wrestlemania 13 is also a very influential moment in WWE as the double turn started the Era we known as the attitude era.
The fact that this is free to view on RUclips is amazing. As a WWE fan since a youngin, I truly appreciate every single person that was involved in making this work of art, a masterpiece
Possibly the greatest RUclips video I have EVER watched, no exaggeration. This is why I love Cultaholic so much and will stay a fan forever ❤️👊🏽
I just want to go on record saying how amazing this video is, I’m 59 minutes into it and I’m so glued to it that I watch it on my breaks. Whoever is talking this, is the most amazing narrator ever. Do more stuff like this I love this
I know everyone is already saying it, but this is incredible work guys! The three hours flew by and I couldn't believe it was that long.
This is top notch work. Someone with zero professional wrestling knowledge could watch this and be able to teach a masterclass after. Well done!
What a video,respect level 101%
What a phenomenal piece of work this is. Everyone who had a hand in making this is to be commended. Absolutely first class. Enjoyed it from start to finish.
Amazing vidéo !!!
I'm lost for words....
Keep up the good work and long live Cultaholic ❤️❤️❤️
This has been one of the absolute greatest documentaries *ever* in any form of any media. You had to condense so much but with what you delivered it was *fucking EXCELLENT* And as for the future of the WWE? I dunno but... I think they have a bright future ahead in this decade.
Best documentaries ever ??? Bro on a fake ass sport ?!! Oh hell na and you don’t know the future of WWE? well guess what they do cuz it’s all written already 😂

Applause for Sam and the crew that worked on this video. 👏
i know it's been a few days, but geez, this was very good. I want to show this to anyone that hasn't watched wrestling for a bit, well done.
Great work condensing such a long and storied history into a relatively short amount of time!
This is top quality I have never watched anything this long in my life I have adhd and don't normally sit more then 15 mins I've been glued to my seat
I’m 20 mins in to this and completely hooked. Watching you all grow from back in the what culture days has been such a joy. You guys are legends
My Word. That is absolutely how you produce a f'n documentary. Tremendous voice-over work, articulate wording, easy to follow story by the decades (including to the current moments, in depth analysis. Congratulations, and thank you to Cultaholic and all those involved. As always never ever forget to Join Us.
P.S. Hopefully they can do impact wrestling as well one day, that would be awesome.
The best RUclips video I've ever watched, you guys are truly amazing! Be proud of this! Thank you!
People give yall shit for not using actual match footage for whatever your talking about. But that doesn't matter. You give us the facts the match or promo as it happened. That gives us motivation to go watch those moments in wrestling history. Amazing work as always.
I stopped watching WWE not long after Ruthless Aggression but this video is brilliant... Makes me want to go back and watch old matches again
Love it or hate it, you can't deny it, Vincent Kennedy McMahon is the single most important person in the history of the wrestling industry
