Jess McMahon passed away on November 22, 1954, at the age of 74. Vince got the Dumont network to broadcast the Capitol Arena events. The first episode aired on January 5, 1956.

For the summer of that year, a Dumont affiliate in New York began broadcasting the Capitol struggles, and fans began to get acquainted with its stars, especially Antonino Rocca.

Taking advantage of the fact that Toots Mondt's license as a promoter was suspended for six months, McMahon was able to rent Madison Square Garden to host his first event on November 26, 1956.

McMahon started a war with the promoters in the area, who numbered more than 20, managing to put them out of business by 1960, which was when Toots Mondt gave up and teamed up with him.

In 1963, Capitol didn't acknowledge a Lou Thesz win over Buddy Rogers, who took away the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on January 24 in Toronto. Rogers returned to New York and was announced as World Wide Wrestling Federation World Heavyweight Champion (WWWF).

Toots Mondt retired in 1969, selling his shares to McMahon, who divided them between his partner Phil Zacko and wrestlers Gorilla Monsoon and Arnold Skaaland. Although he continued to use the acronym WWWF, McMahon rejoined the NWA during the 1971 convention, held in Mexico.

Meanwhile Vince K. McMahon, son of the promoter, went to work at Capitol as an announcer and commentator, but also promoted events.

McMahon Sr. retired in 1982. The plan was for Gorilla Monsoon to stay at the helm of the company, but McMahon Jr. offered to buy them from him. Thus, Capitol disappeared, and the WWF became part of Titan Sports.

McMahon wanted to expand. He bought the territory of Southern California (Los Angeles and San Diego) from Gene LeBell, and he bought the Atlanta territory from Jim Barnett. In August 1983, he separated from the NWA.

On December 27 of that year, Hulk Hogan reappeared in the company (he had been with the AWA after McMahon Sr. fired him for acting without permission in the movie Rocky III). On January 23, 1984, Hogan won the WWF World Heavyweight Championship by defeating the Iron Sheik at Madison Square Garden.
