Vince McMahon
"I love to fight," admits Mr. McMahon, "I always have."

As a teen, McMahon would spend summers with his dad Vincent James McMahon, a reputable boxing and wrestling promoter in charge of the Northeast region. He was amazed by both the business and his idol, Dr. Jerry Graham, the peroxide-dyed, red-garbed ring performer who lit his cigars with hundred-dollar bills. The rest of the time he channeled his ruthless aggression at Fishburne Military School in Waynesboro, VA.

It took a degree in Business Administration/Marketing at East Carolina University, followed by several unproductive years selling adding machines and ice-cream accessories before McMahon convinced his father to bring him into the family business. Strangely enough, he spent less than a year learning the ropes as a promoter when McMahon, Sr. "promoted" him as a match announcer only moments before a show in Hamburg, PA. For more than 20 years, McMahon remained behind the microphone, even after buying the World Wrestling Federation from his father in 1982 and taking it to unprecedented levels. To this day, many out-of-work regional promoters maintain that he continued doing in-ring play-by-play only to smokescreen what he was accomplishing outside the squared circle.

The truth is, the Chairman and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment couldn't make a global multimedia juggernaut without breaking a few companies. So he broke all of them, and took great satisfaction in devouring any wrestling promotion that refused to "join" WWE.

McMahon admits to feeling a tad remorseful after acquiring his last, and greatest, threat – World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the seemingly "unbeatable" organization bankrolled by billionaire Ted Turner – simply because he missed the struggle. So, in 2002, he decided to split Raw and SmackDown into separate brands, effectively creating his own competition.

Despite his vast wealth and social status, McMahon still loves nothing more than knuckling up, and he'll do it anytime, anywhere – inside the ring (where his longtime rivalry with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin still raises hell within the WWE fan base) or from the boardroom.

WWE Hall of Fame announcer Jim Ross is convinced that his boss' constant need to fight is what fuels his success. "His competitive nature is what he carries with him every waking moment," he says. McMahon agrees, adding that no one better than he understands what it means to be a competitor. "You've got to grab your competition by the throat," he insists, "and squeeze the life out of them."

Brie Bella
Brie Bella made her debut on SmackDown in summer 2008 and made an immediate impact on the Divas Division.

On her debut night, Brie defeated former Women's Champion Victoria, showing that this half-Mexican, half-Italian beauty may be new to the scene, but she is ready to take on any challenge. Ever since, she's proven she will not be an easy Diva with which to deal.

With her twin sister Nikki at her side, the Bella Twins have proven every bit as cunning as they are cute. In fact, Nikki would be instrumental in helping her twin sister capture the duo's first championship win in WWE when Brie won the Divas Championship.

Alone, Brie has proven herself an accomplished athlete in her own right. With her sister Nikki, however, the pair is definitely double trouble.

Nikki Bella
A self-admitted "tomboy" with a girlie side, Nikki – a former model, actress and soccer star – followed her twin sister Brie's lead in coming to WWE. Although the knockout pair did not get chosen in the 2006 WWE Raw Diva Search, they did not give up on their dream of becoming WWE Divas.

After being motivated by the career of Dusty Rhodes, combined with months of hard training in FCW, Nikki's dream became a reality in 2008 and is now turning heads along with Brie whenever they step foot inside the ring.

But, Nikki wants the WWE Universe to know that she is not just a pretty face. She has trained very hard and wants to be judged for her moves in the ring.

Kofi Kingston
Hailing from Ghana, West Africa, Kofi Kingston brings unique in-ring abilities and style to WWE. With a love for life and the WWE Universe, Kingston brings an exciting personality to the ring week in and week out.

Boasting reigns as Intercontinental Champion, World Tag Team Champion and United States Champion, this young superstar's future continues getting brighter, giving Kingston and the fans at home a lot to look forward to every time he enters the arena.
