How was the WWF formed?
It
all started with an argument about the NWA champion Buddy Rogers bookings. As champion Rogers bookings were controlled by
two promoters in the Northeast, Vince McMahon Sr. and Toots Mondt. McMahon and Mondt would rarely let Rogers defend the title
outside of the Northeast and soon after other NWA promoters became upset with the situation and demanded that Rogers drop
the title. McMahon, Mondt, and Rogers didn't want the title change and decided to break away from the NWA ,but Rogers would
still drop the title so he wouldn't lose his $25,000 deposit on it. (It was required that the champion make a deposit on his
title so he wouldn't walk out without losing it.)
