WWE Television Shows

World Wrestling Entertainment has seen many names and has gone through countless changes since its inception. Universally known as "fake wrestling entertainment," the WWE has coined a niche in the wrestling market that others have tried to top, but to no avail. Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the sole Chairman of the WWE, took the business owner from his father, the Senior McMahon, and has made it into a multi-million dollar industry drawing the attention of fans worldwide. 

In recent years, the WWE has expanded to include several television shows, and even its own In Demand network, showing a new episode every single week. There are currently one main show, one minor shows, and twelve Pay-Per-View events, in addition to a yearly Hall of Fame induction. Wrestling fans continue to watch regardless of the seedy plot dramas aired every week on both network and cable television stations.

WWE's Monday Night Raw is considered the most "professional" of professional wrestling. Made up of 50 superstars, Raw is aired every Monday night just an hour after it's shown live in various cities. There are five WWE Raw belts:

WWE Champion (currently held by John Cena)
Intercontinental Champion (currently held by Shelton Benjamin
Women's Champion (currently held by Mickey James)
World Tag Team Champions (two; currently held by Kenny & Mikey)

Raw is also home to the Immortal Hulk Hogan, The Rock, the 500-pound Big Show and many other household names who continue to beat one another up every Monday Night.

Currently, the General Manager is Vincent McMahon, the vindictive WWE Chairman who forces superstars to join the "Kiss My Ass Club".


WWE SMACKDOWN!

Aired on Friday nights, Smackdown! is the second most popular wrestling television show, and also has five different championship belts:
