<a href="" name="quotes"></a> <h5>Personal Quotes</h5>Be yourself always, there's no one better!<br />
I was never the girl who thought I need to make sure I look like all the other girls. I think you look best when you stand out.<br />
[On Having Her Own Band] I'm going to be in a band - no Selena Gomez stuff. I'm not going to be a solo artist. I think that I don't want my name attached to it. I basically want to make music that is fun and that parents and kids can jump around to and have a good time to.<br />
I wanted to be like my friends. I hung out with girls who had blue eyes and blond hair and I thought, 'I want to look like them!'<br />
[on declaring she will remain a virgin until marriage] I said, 'Dad, I want a promise ring.' He went to the church and got it blessed. He actually used me as an example for other kids. I'm going to keep my promise to myself, to my family and to God.<br />
[on wearing a purity ring] I've had my ring since I was 12 years old. But for me it's not something I want to go around saying, 'Hey, look what I have.' It's a promise I made to myself and God. I think some people misinterpret that as a trend and think everyone's getting one.<br />
[On reports that she and friend, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1416215/">Demi Lovato</a> had a feud] You can't care (about reports like that), It's really toxic what they do to the girls in the industry.<br />
[On <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0517820/">Lindsay Lohan</a> and her time in rehab] I don't think anybody should be mean because you never understand what's someone is going through. And it is partly (this) business, because it is crazy and hectic. So I think that nobody should be rude. If this were a normal person, you wouldn't be so judgmental. I feel like people shouldn't judge as much, they should give their sympathy.<br />
[On revealing she would prefer to date someone who is not famous] You kind of can't help who you'll fall in love with. I'd date someone who isn't in the business in a heartbeat.<br />
I love <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2953537/">Katy Perry</a>! She gave me a song for my second album.<br />
Everyone wants songs written by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2953537/">Katy Perry</a>. I asked her and she was so nice - she just said, 'Yeah, you can have it.' She was very kind.<br />
I don't actually like dates. I get awkward as I never know what to do.<br />
For me, the person that I really admire because they came from this Disney world would be <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0479471/">Shia LaBeouf</a>. He had his own show on Disney Channel. He was really funny and I loved his show. Then he started to do films. Now he is doing really great films and he is respected as an actor. I really like him a lot as an actor. I think he is cute, too, so that helps. I feel that I can relate to him the most.<br />
I'm going to be <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2953537/">Katy Perry</a> for Halloween. I'm going to have the blue hair and the ice cream outfit she did. It's going to be awesome.<br />
[On working with <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2953537/">Katy Perry</a>] It is so much fun. It's very soulful and it's kind of got her flair mixed in with my dance kind-of-a-little techno vibe. So it was really amazing and I really loved it. I was extremely honored, cause I'm a huge fan of hers.<br />
[on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3595501/">Justin Bieber</a>] I love Justin. When he first started to come over from Canada his manager contacted me and he just said that he would like to meet me and he was just such a good kid.<br />
[on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1416215/">Demi Lovato</a>] I love her. I completely love her and her whole family to death. I will always talk extremely highly of her and I always have.<br />
I love Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Katy Perry. They are all about being themselves and I love that.<br />
(on going to her firs concert - a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005453/">Britney Spears</a> show) We were in the nosebleeds with my cousin. I got the T-shirt and glow sticks and I just remember it being the highlight of my life! I felt like I was on cloud nine!<br />
(on doing a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005453/">Britney Spears</a> tribute for her concert) We are working on a Britney tribute, which I'm so stoked about, 'cause I love Britney. I was like, 'I have to do it.' I wanna do a mash-up of all her songs and just go for it. We're gonna do a little tribute. We're gonna do her hits, ' ... Baby One More Time,' and then I think we're going to try to incorporate 'Toxic' and that phase. And then we might do some of her recent, new stuff.<br />
(on performing songs from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005453/">Britney Spears</a> during a tribute concert) I'm not going to even touch Britney! She's so good. I wouldn't want to butcher it. I'm just going to pay tribute to her! I'm gonna say she's awesome.<br />
(on Rebecca Black's song 'Friday') I love it! Total guilty pleasure! I totally admire her, I think it's awesome that she hasn't taken that downward spiral that other child stars have taken.<br />

In 1925, while working with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tex_Rickard">Tex Rickard</a> (who despised wrestling to such a degree that he prevented wrestling events from being held in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden_%281925%29" title="Madison Square Garden (1925)">the third Madison Square Garden</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City">New York City</a>) he started promoting boxing in the Garden. The first match during their partnership was a light heavyweight championship match between <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Delaney">Jack Delaney</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Berlenbach">Paul Berlenbach</a>.<br />
A few years earlier, around 1920, former professional wrestler <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toots_Mondt" title="Toots Mondt">Joseph Raymond "Toots" Mondt</a> had come up with a revolutionary concept. He decided to take wrestling to a higher level, bringing it out of back <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alley" title="Alley">alleys</a> and rough areas into <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena" title="Arena">sporting arenas</a>. At the time, pro wrestling consisted primarily of mat grappling; and while the sport had flourished a decade earlier under Frank Gotch, the fans had since grown tired of the painfully deliberate pace of the bouts. However, Mondt discovered a solution that would completely transform the industry, as he convinced Lewis and Sandow to implement a new form of wrestling that combined features of boxing, Greco-Roman, freestyle, lumber-camp fighting, and theater into what he deemed “Slam Bang Western-Style Wrestling.” His next move was to form a promotion with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Lewis_%28wrestler%29" title="Ed Lewis (wrestler)">Ed Lewis</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Sandow">Billy Sandow</a>. They persuaded a lot of wrestlers to sign contracts with the newly named '<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Dust_Trio">Gold Dust Trio</a>'.<br />
Eventually, the trio dissolved and the promotion did also, after a disagreement over power. Mondt formed partnerships with several promoters. When Jack Curley was dying, Mondt knew that New York wrestling would fall apart. Realizing this he gained help from several <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_professional_wrestling_terms#Book" title="Glossary of professional wrestling terms">bookers</a>, one of these being Jess McMahon.<br />
Together, Jess and Mondt created the Capitol Wrestling Corporation (CWC). The company had offices in both <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.">Washington, D.C.</a> and New York.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_WWE#cite_note-2"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup> There is not a lot of information on the early days of the CWC, but it is known that it joined the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance">National Wrestling Alliance</a> (NWA) in 1953.<br />
Mondt had been using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonino_Rocca">Antonino Rocca</a> as a main eventer. He was successful in the role and Mondt was pleased to have him as part of the company. Unfortunately, Mondt was unable to keep Rocca happy.<br />
In 1953, Ray Fabiani, one of Mondt's other associates, brought in <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_J._McMahon" title="Vincent J. McMahon">Vincent J. McMahon</a>, who replaced his father Jess in 1953 (around the time the CWC became a territorial member of the NWA). They controlled all of the Northeastern wrestling circuit.<br />
Vince Sr. and Toots Mondt were a formidable combination: within a short time, they controlled around 70% of the NWA's booking—given what a far-reaching organization the NWA was, that was a significant achievement. Mondt taught Vince Sr. about booking and how to work in the wrestling industry. This was the start of the wrestling revolution.<br />
In 1956, the CWC signed a deal with WTTG Channel 5 to air live professional wrestling shows.<br />
<h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_WWE&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: World Wrestling Federation">edit</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline" id="World_Wrestling_Federation">World Wrestling Federation</span></h2>In 1980, the son of Vincent J. McMahon, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_McMahon" title="Vince McMahon">Vincent K. McMahon</a>, founded Titan Sportings Inc. and in 1982 purchased Capitol Sports from his father and associates (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_Monsoon">Gorilla Monsoon</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Skaaland">Arnold Skaaland</a> were given lifetime employment with World Wrestling Federation, and all three minority holders received cash payments). The elder McMahon had already established the northeastern territory as one of the most vibrant members of the NWA by recognizing that pro wrestling was more about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment">entertainment</a> than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport">sport</a>.<br />
The NWA was not the only wrestling outfit in operation; the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Wrestling_Association">American Wrestling Association</a> (AWA) had long ago ceased being an official NWA member, and controlled the US Northern Midwest. But in neither instance did the defecting member attempt to undermine, and destroy, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance#Territories" title="National Wrestling Alliance">territory system</a> that had been the foundation of the industry.<br />
The first step McMahon's attempt to go national was to sign AWA superstar <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan">Hulk Hogan</a>, who, due to his appearance in <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_III">Rocky III</a></i> had a national recognition. To play Hogan's nemesis, he signed North Carolina badboy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roddy_Piper">Roddy Piper</a>, and also <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Ventura">Jesse Ventura</a> (although Ventura never wrestled in the WWF at that point).<br />
Other promoters were furious when McMahon began syndicating WWF television shows to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_station" title="Television station">television stations</a> across the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States">United States</a>, in areas outside of the WWF's traditional Northeastern stronghold. McMahon also began selling videotapes of WWF events outside the Northeast through his <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Home_Video" title="WWE Home Video">Coliseum Video</a> distribution company. Wrestling promoters nationwide were now in direct competition with the WWF. The WWF bought off talent all around <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada">Canada</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States" title="United States">U.S.</a> including the likes of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Bulldogs">British Bulldogs</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation">The Hart Foundation</a> who were based with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stampede_Wrestling">Stampede Wrestling</a>. Eventually in the 1980s, WWF was able to sign <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusty_Rhodes_%28wrestler%29" title="Dusty Rhodes (wrestler)">Dusty Rhodes</a> who had been a legend during the regional territory days.<br />
The younger McMahon had an even bolder ambition: the WWF would tour nationally. Such a venture, however, required huge capital investment; one that placed the WWF on the verge of financial collapse. The future of not just McMahon's experiment, but also the WWF, the NWA, and the whole industry came down to the success or failure of McMahon's groundbreaking sports entertainment concept, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania">WrestleMania</a>. WrestleMania was a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay-per-view">pay-per-view</a> extravaganza (most areas of the country saw WrestleMania available on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-circuit_television">Closed-circuit television</a>) that McMahon marketed as being the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl">Super Bowl</a> of professional wrestling.<br />
The concept of a wrestling super card was nothing new in North America; the NWA had been running <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starrcade">Starrcade</a> a few years prior to WrestleMania, and even the elder McMahon had marketed large <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shea_Stadium">Shea Stadium</a> cards viewable in closed circuit locations. However, McMahon wanted to take the WWF to the mainstream, targeting the public who were not regular wrestling fans. He drew the interest of the mainstream media by inviting celebrities such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._T">Mr. T</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyndi_Lauper">Cyndi Lauper</a> to participate in the event. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV">MTV</a>, in particular, featured a great deal of WWF coverage and programming at this time, in what was termed the <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s_professional_wrestling_boom#Rock_.27n.27_Wrestling_Connection" title="1980s professional wrestling boom">Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection</a></i>.<br />
There were attempts in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_South">Deep South</a> to keep the legacy of the regional territory system alive. Several regional territories in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_South">Deep South</a> merged together to form <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crockett_Promotions">Jim Crockett Promotions</a> (JCP). <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starrcade">Starrcade</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_American_Bash">The Great American Bash</a> were the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crockett_Promotions">Jim Crockett Promotions</a> version of <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania">WrestleMania</a></i>. However JCP had trouble competing against the WWF. JCP even ran a few shows outside its regional base. The promotion was sold off becoming WCW, which ended up becoming the main competition for the WWF until 2001.<br />

In addition to Hogan, there were other muscular singles stars who were making their mark in the WWF including the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrior_%28wrestler%29" title="Warrior (wrestler)">Ultimate Warrior</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Steamboat">Ricky Steamboat</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Orndorff">Paul Orndorff</a>.

In 1987, the WWF would also add more to the company's success and produced what was considered to be the pinnacle of the entire 1980s wrestling boom, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_III">WrestleMania III</a>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_WWE#cite_note-3"><span>[</span>4<span>]</span></a></sup> Thanks to the success of WrestleMania, additional pay-per-views were produced such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SummerSlam">SummerSlam</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble">Royal Rumble</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series">Survivor Series</a>. The Survivor Series stressed the elimination tag format. The Royal Rumble had a 30-man battle royal which, in 1993, would stipulate where the winner faces the WWF Champion at that year's WrestleMania. SummerSlam became the major hit of the summer. This era was noted for some of its excellent matches. Some memories included the Hogan vs. Warrior bout at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_VI">WrestleMania VI</a> in the SkyDome, Steamboat vs. Savage Intercontinental Title match at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_III">WrestleMania III</a> and Hogan vs. Andre the Giant at that same pay-per-view.<br />

In <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_in_television" title="1995 in television">1995</a>, Bischoff upped the ante, creating <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_Monday_Nitro">WCW Monday Nitro</a></i>, a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_television" title="Cable television">cable</a> show on Turner's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_%28TV_channel%29" title="TNT (TV channel)">TNT</a> network, to directly compete with the WWF's flagship show, <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Raw" title="WWE Raw">WWF Monday Night RAW</a></i>.

McMahon responded by stating that he could create new superstars to regain the upper hand in the ratings war, and at the same time tightening contracts to make it harder for WCW to raid WWF talent. Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart were elevated to the top of the card, gaining popularity based mostly on the excellence of their in-ring abilities, a far departure from the Hogan era. Despite this, the WWF was losing money at a rapid rate. WCW's reality-based storylines drew attention away from the WWF's.<br />
However, from mid 1998 until late 2000, The WWF gained the upper hand mostly with big stars like <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock" title="The Rock">The Rock</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Cold_Steve_Austin">Stone Cold Steve Austin</a>.

</tbody></table>The Attitude Era is considered to have ended after <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_X-Seven">WrestleMania X-Seven</a> following a slow decline in ratings.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-NowAndThen_4-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_WWE#cite_note-NowAndThen-4"><span>[</span>5<span>]</span></a></sup> Despite this, the WWF kept most of their audience in this transitional period, fueled with a combination of new factors leading to a fresh product. For one, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Kreski">Chris Kreski</a> took over head writer duties after <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Russo">Vince Russo</a> left for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling" title="World Championship Wrestling">WCW</a>. Kreski was admired by many for heading a creative process that had well-planned storylines. Some of the more remembered angles from this time were Triple H vs. Cactus Jack feuding over the WWF Title, the Triple H/Kurt Angle/Stephanie McMahon love triangle, and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tables,_Ladders,_and_Chairs_match" title="Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match">TLC</a> feud between the Hardy Boyz, Edge and Christian, and the Dudley Boyz. At the same time, injuries to Steve Austin and the Undertaker allowed WWF to focus on new stars such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Guerrero">Eddie Guerrero</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Benoit">Chris Benoit</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jericho">Chris Jericho</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Angle">Kurt Angle</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudley_Boyz" title="Dudley Boyz">The Dudley Boyz</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardy_Boyz" title="Hardy Boyz">The Hardy Boyz</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solofa_Fatu" title="Solofa Fatu">Rikishi</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_and_Christian">Edge and Christian</a>.<br />
In late 2000, <i>WWF Raw is War</i> moved from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_Network">USA Network</a> to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_%28TV_channel%29" title="Spike (TV channel)">TNN</a>. This coincided with the return of Steve Austin, after being out for close to a year due to injury. Despite having their biggest star back, the WWF's ratings started to slowly decline. Chris Kreski left the company, and Stephanie McMahon became the head writer. Despite this, the WWF presented what is considered by many to be one of their greatest single cards of all time, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_X-Seven">WrestleMania X-Seven</a>, headlined by the Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWF title. At the end of the show, Vince McMahon helped give Steve Austin the win, turning him heel in the process. Austin went on to form a union with Triple H called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_Trip" title="The Power Trip">The Two-Man Power Trip</a>, which carried WWF storylines for most of the Spring. But just as the next phase of the WWF began, the WWF lost two of their top stars, Triple H and Chris Benoit, to injuries. It was during this period that ratings took a serious blow, arguably due to the deaths of WCW and ECW, Steve Austin's heel turn and the absence of some big names.<br />

The 2000 lawsuit was settled in 2002, and on May 6, 2002, the company changed its name to World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., or WWE, and eliminated all elements that used the term "Federation". This forced the company to issue new licensed merchandise such as apparel, action figures, video games, and home videos with the new WWE logo. Additionally, older footage which used the company's "scratch" logo or the spoken initials "WWF" had to be re-edited to eliminate such content. To facilitate public awareness of the change, for a short while, WWE adopted the slogan <i>Get the "F" out.</i><br />

</tbody></table>In the aftermath of the Invasion storyline, Vince McMahon lobbied WWE's television carrier, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_%28TV_channel%29" title="Spike (TV channel)">TNN</a>, for time on its schedule for a new show featuring the WCW brand. Reports say this idea was rejected owing to McMahon's failure with non-WWE projects, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFL">XFL</a> in particular.<br />
Faced with a surplus of talent, even after the departure of several undercard wrestlers from both organizations, April 2002 saw the WWE undergo a process McMahon called the Brand Extension. The WWE was divided into two de facto wrestling promotions with separate rosters, storylines and authority figures. RAW and SmackDown! would host each division, give its name to the division and essentially compete against each other.<br />
Wrestlers would become show-exclusive, wrestling for their specific show only. At the time this excluded the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Championship" title="WWE Championship">WWE Undisputed Championship</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Women%27s_Championship">WWE Women's Championship</a>, as those titles would be defended on both shows. In August 2002, WWE Undisputed Champion <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_Lesnar">Brock Lesnar</a> refused to defend the title on Raw, in effect causing his title to become exclusive to SmackDown! The following week on <i>Raw</i>, General Manager Eric Bischoff awarded a newly created <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Heavyweight_Championship_%28WWE%29" title="World Heavyweight Championship (WWE)">World Heavyweight Championship</a>, with a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Gold_Belt" title="Big Gold Belt">design</a> similar to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_Heavyweight_Championship">WCW World Heavyweight Championship</a> belt, to Raw's designated number one contender, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_H">Triple H</a>.<br />
