Bio

Vincent James McMahon (July 6, 1914 – May 24, 1984), sometimes referred to as Vince McMahon Sr., was an American professional wrestling promoter. He is best known for running the Capitol Wrestling Corporation, which was later renamed WWWF (World Wide Wrestling Federation) and WWF (World Wrestling Federation) during his tenure from 1953 to 1982, and is currently called WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), as well as for being the father of his successor, Vincent K. McMahon. McMahon had two sons with his first wife Victoria "Vicky" H. Askew (née Hanner; 1920–2022): Roderick James "Rod" McMahon III (1943–2021) and Vince McMahon Jr. (born 1945). He married his second wife, Juanita Wynne Johnston (1916–1998), and the couple retired to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. McMahon would not live to see his company grow from a territorial promotion to what is now a worldwide organization. (Wiki)
