History

Historical Context

The 1980s marked a transformative era for professional wrestling, driven by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) under Vince McMahon. With the rise of cable television, WWF expanded nationally, culminating in the iconic WrestleMania III in 1987, which reportedly drew 93,173 fans. This boom established wrestling as mainstream entertainment, paving the way for modern promotions like All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and stars such as Darby Allin.
