Jess McMahon Boxing Promoter and Sire of the WWE FIGHTLAND

By  Ms. Krystel Senger Sr.

Ever wondered who laid the foundation for the global wrestling phenomenon we know today as WWE? It all began with Roderick James "Jess" McMahon Sr., a name that echoes through the annals of sports entertainment history.

While many recognize Vince McMahon as the architect of the modern wrestling empire, the story stretches back a generation earlier to his grandfather, Jess McMahon. Born Roderick James McMahon on May 26, 1882, in New York City, to Roderick and Elizabeth McMahon, Jess was the son of Irish immigrants seeking a new life in America. Few could have predicted that this man would become a pivotal figure in both the boxing and wrestling worlds, ultimately establishing a dynasty that would redefine entertainment.
