Overview

"Imagine going back in time and reliving WWF history as it actually happened. Not as the WWE wants to present it, but as it actually aired. No longer would superstars disappear from the history books or angles be edited out because they're deemed too offensive to WWE's current corporate philosophy. Instead, you'd see the WWF as it aired, as you remembered it if you're old enough, or as it really happened for the first time if you're a younger fan. You'd see the WWF that turned a regional promotion into a global billion dollar powerhouse. You'd see the WWF that the fans who grew up on the product came to know and love. Welcome to a year-by-year account of the WWF, a history of the WWF as presented on television. This series follows the weekly shows, PPVs, and major events that made the WWF (and later WWE) the household name that it is. Love it or hate it, the WWF has become part of the world's culture and the events in this book helped define that culture. For those of you who have already been along for the ride, we're filling in the television holes. WWF Mania was the second new show the WWF added in 1993 alongside Monday Night Raw. One of those would go on to become the WWF's flagship program while the other started as a recap show with a featured match each week before eventually just becoming a straight recap show. In 1993 though, WWF Mania had just enough original programming to warrant its own supplement in The History of the WWF. Here, you'll find a full recap of the 1993 year, WWF Mania's best, and the only year that made any real impact on the company. By 1994, WWF Mania would occasionally feature a first run interview or an unseen squash match, but largely lacked the excitement of its first year. Instead of bogging down this book and increasing print costs with countless pages of ""X happened on Superstars"" and ""Y happened on Monday Night Raw"", we'll focus instead on the fun that was WWF Mania in 1993. This is a rare look back at one of the WWF's forgotten Saturday morning programs and the introduction of Todd Pettengill to the wrestling world. There would be other recap shows, but few ever had as much fun as the first year of WWF Mania."
