10 Times WWE Rewrote Their Own History

5. The Monday Night Wars

They say that history is written by the victors and you don’t have to convince us twice after seeing how WWE likes to tell the tale of the Monday Night Wars. 

If you listen to WWE’s version of their mid-to-late 90’s feud with WCW, you’ll hear of how Ted Turner bought all of the McMahon-made stars due to his limitless chequebook, how WCW played dirty by doing heinous things like revealing the results of WWE’s pre-taped shows live on air and how D-Generation X turned the tide by INVADING WCW WITH A TANK! 

Honestly, the picture WWE paints is so distorted and one-sided, it’s beyond ridiculous. It wouldn’t be so bad, but their version of the so-called War is taken as read by fans who only really know of it because of WWE-produced media. 

To them, the valiant mom-and-pop promotion managed to overcome the evil corporation due to their creativity, determination, superior storytelling and homegrown stars.

The reality is, of course, far, far different.
