WWE

World Wrestling Entertainment (doing business as WWE, Inc.) is currently the largest professional wrestling/sports entertainment industry in the world. It reaches 13 million views throughout the United States of America and it broadcasts its shows in 30 languages to more than 145 countries worldwide. The WWE does major revenue in film, music, product licensing, and direct product sales aside from its ticket sales and merchandising in professional wrestling/sports entertainment. Vince McMahon is the majority owner, Chairman, and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the WWE. Together, with his wife, Linda McMahon, and their children, Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon (The Executive Vice President of Creative Writing and Development, as well as the Chief Brand Officer), the McMahons hold about 70 percent of the WWE's economic interest and about 96 percent of the voting power in the company. The company's headquarters is located in Stamford, Connecticut, with offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, London, Tokyo, and Sydney.

Pay Per Views
The WWE has monthly Pay Per Views, with their biggest one being WrestleMania. The four biggest Pay Per Views offered by the WWE are WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, Summerslam, and Survivor Series. The Pay Per Views were always ordered for a price by a cable or satellite provider to watch on a monthly basis, but as of WrestleMania 30, Pay Per Views can also be watched on the WWE Network included in the price of $9.99, which is WWE's version of Netflix, an online streaming service.

The Pay Per View scene began in March 1985 when Mr. McMahon made a huge risk and aired WrestleMania 1 live from Madison Square Garden in New York City. WrestleMania 1 was a huge success that it lead to WrestleMania 2 the following year, and it made WrestleMania the biggest event of the company and currently WrestleMania is the biggest event in history, being considered as big, if not bigger than the Super Bowl.

Wellness Program
The Talent Wellness Program is a strictly enforced drug, alcohol, and cardiac testing program that began in February 2006, shortly after the death of the high profile superstar, current WWE Hall of Famer, and former WWE Champion, Eddie Guerrero. The policy tests for recreational drug use, such as marijuana, and the abuse of prescription medication, including anabolic steroids. Under the guidelines of the policy, talent is also tested annually for pre-existing or developing cardiac issues. The drug testing is handled by Aegis Sciences Corporation. The cardiac evaluations are handled by New York Cardiology Associates P.C.
