The Corporation (professional wrestling)

The Corporation was a villanious stable in the late 1990s in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It was led by the McMahon family and was characterized by an authoritarian and corrupt attitude towards more rebellious wrestlers. The Corporation existed throughout 1998 and 1999 and feuded with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mankind, D-Generation X (DX), The Union, and The Ministry of Darkness, eventually merging with the latter and forming The Corporate Ministry.

History

The group was put together and led by WWF chairman Vince McMahon in an attempt to secure control of the WWF and eliminate the more rebellious wrestlers, such as Steve Austin. Previously, McMahon started surrounding himself with an entourage consisting of The Corporate Stooges, Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson, WWF commissioner Slaughter and his personal enforcer Big Boss Man to help him quell the rebellious actions of Steve Austin. The Corporation was officially formed on November 16, 1998 when Shane and Vince McMahon along with Big Boss Man, Slaughter, and Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco reconciled, joining forces with The Rock, who was The Corporation's proclaimed 'Crown Jewel' (and whom they helped win the WWF Championship at Survivor Series), holding the WWF Championship three times while part of the group. Later in the show, WWF Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock would be recruited onto "Team Corporate,"an unofficial name stated by announcers Jim Ross.
