 PROFILE
Are you ready to rumble? World Wrestling Federation Entertainment (WWF) has the action you need. The company produces and promotes wrestling matches for TV, pay-per-view, and live audiences. Stars such as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, and Chyna lead its flagship programs "WWF Raw Is War" (broadcast on TNN) and "WWF Smackdown!" (broadcast on UPN) to consistently high ratings. The firm also produces 12 pay-per-view programs and some 200 live events each year. WWF was humbled in 2001 by the disaster of the XFL, its attempt at a new football league with NBC. The league was a ratings nightmare in its first, and last, season. Also in 2001 WWF bought rival World Championship Wrestling from Turner Broadcasting. The company also licenses characters for merchandise. Chairman Vince McMahon controls 97% of WWF's voting power.
