10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE HQ

10. WWE Didn't Move There Until After WrestleMania I

WrestleMania I

WrestleMania came first.

The then-WWF didn't move into Titan Towers until mid-1985. The jump actually came after the original 'Mania show on 31 March that year, meaning all you've heard over the years about Vince McMahon banking everything on the show's success is true. Without it, WWE might still be operating out of the old Cape Cod Coliseum offices in Massachusetts.

It's also worth noting that the building that'd become WWE's base was actually built in 1981. It turned out to be ideal for McMahon's plan to expand his father's operation too. When the promotion moved into Titan Towers in '85, there must've been such a buzz about the place following WrestleMania's home run.

There's been no real need to move ever since, at least until now. WWE obviously believe it's time to do something different, which (if one looks at history) is a hallmark of Vince's run. Sentimentality rarely gets in the way of business.
