Talk:Capitol Wrestling Corporation

CWC was created in 1953 not 1952!

Here are the sources:

In Capitol Revolution from Tim Hornbaker it is stated on page 117: "The character of McMahon's business was evident from day one, and, like his father, he was known for his honesty and integrity. He inaugurated his promotion on January 7, 1953, and booked his talent from several sorces, but mainly Mondt in New York."

WWE Legends from Brian Solomon on page 6: "McMahon formed a company he called the Capitol Wrestling Corporation, and presented his first regular wrestling show under the Capitol banner on January 7, 1953. He set up his offices on the seventh floor of Washington's Franklin Park Hotel. At the time, he was using performers on his cards obtained from both Toots Mondt's booking office and the Carolinas office of Jim Crockett Sr."

In the WWE Encyclopedia of Sports Entertainment it is stated under the profile of Vincent J. McMahon on page 372: "Upon arrival, Vince purchased a small dilapidated venue he later called Capitol Arena. On January 7, 1953, he put on the first-ever Capitol Wrestling Corporation event."

WWE 50 by Kevin Sullivan on page 9: "McMahon eventually settled into Washington, D.C., where he began managing Turner's Arena in 1947. With McMahon calling the shots, the arena began attracting top stars from nearly every genre, including Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Gorgeous George, and Bruno Sammartino. McMahon eventually assumed full control of the venue's lease in 1954 and subsequently renamed it Capitol Arena to coincide with his new wrestling promotion, Capitol Wrestling Corporaion."

On legacyofwrestling.com it is stated "McMahon took over the reigns as the main promoter in Washington on January 7, 1953 and used the old Turner’s Arena. He would use wrestlers from Jack Pfefer’s stable early including The Zebra Kid and The Golden Terror. Booking out of the Franklin Park Hotel, McMahon established a strong east coast promotion."

Thats not your sources, thats the text you wanted. You have made no arguments. There are sources in the article that you are claiming are incorrect. - Galatz גאליץ^{שיחה Talk} 19:44, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Öhm. No. In this article there stands the company was created on January 7, 1952 but all the sources they say it was created on January 7, 1953. TheAY1986 (talk) 19:52, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Even the source which is used for this article (this here ) it is said January 7, 1953. It's the source which comes after the sentence: "Together, McMahon and Mondt created the Capitol Wrestling Corporation Ltd. (CWC) in 1952, which joined the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) a year later."

So the article said 1952 and the source 1953. nah, something isn't right here. TheAY1986 (talk) 19:56, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

And you don't want to argue with me that this is a reliable source? It seems that's just someone whose only research material was wikipedia. TheAY1986 (talk) 20:01, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

So, can I then change it? TheAY1986 (talk) 09:48, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
