The very first programming produced by the Capitol Wrestling Corporation, the WWWF's immediate predecessor, was Heavyweight Wrestling. The show involved wrestlers of low card to main event status. Following an episode's final match, the ring announcers informed viewers about next week's matches. Most of the events were held in Washington D.C.'s National Arena. Ray Morgan did the commentary for the show and "Friendly" Bob Freed and "Smiling" Sam Mason served as ring announcers. Usually the main events involved WWWF Champion Bruno Sammartino retaining his title. The show ended in September 1971 and was replaced by All-Star Wrestling.
All-Star Wrestling was a WWF promotional show that featured enhancement matches and interviews that were designed to further featured talent. The show was taped at the Hamburg Fieldhouse in Hamburg, Pennsylvania. The show replaced Heavyweight Wrestling from Washington DC. All-Star Wrestling ran from October 2, 1971 through August 30, 1986, when it was replaced by the new program Wrestling Challenge . Challenge was the "B" show of the WWF's syndicated programming, behind Superstars . Typically, the show comprised matches with play-by-play from Vince McMahon, with occasional assistance from Lord Alfred Hayes and Pat Patterson; it was later hosted by Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura. From 1982 until 1984, the theme of All-Star Wrestling was "Gemini Dream" by The Moody Blues. From 1984 to 1986, the theme was David Bowie's "Modern Love".
Championship Wrestling is one of the original TV shows of the World Wrestling Federation. It included all the stars of the WWF, interviews and championship matches. The show lasted from 1971 until August 1986 and was the flagship of the WWF's programming until it was replaced by Superstars of Wrestling . In 1984, the show used "Thriller" by Michael Jackson as its opening theme. The host and announcer was Vince McMahon, often joined by a co-host.

Wrestling at the Chase is a television program produced by WWF at the Chase Park Plaza Hotel that aired on KPLR-TV, Channel 11 in St. Louis, Missouri. An early strike in the WWF's national expansion, WWF had usurped the St. Louis Wrestling Club's traditional TV timeslot; the St. Louis Wrestling Club had produced Wrestling at the Chase since 1959. The program was replaced by WWF Championship Wrestling in 1985.
World Championship Wrestling is a television program that was produced by WWF that aired on Superstation WTBS from 1984 to 1985. The show took over the time slot of Georgia Championship Wrestling's World Championship Wrestling program that had been broadcasting on WTBS for 12 years; the WWF had purchased a majority interest in GCW. Poor fan response to the use of match footage already broadcast elsewhere instead of new matches and the style of WWF programming led Turner to give other time slots to competing promotions, leading to strained relations between TBS and the WWF. The time slot and program name was eventually sold to Jim Crockett Promotions, who continued to use the World Championship Wrestling for the show name until 1988, when TBS itself bought the assets of JCP and used the name for the promotion World Championship Wrestling.
Maple Leaf Wrestling is a television program that was produced by WWF that aired exclusively in Canada. The show came into creation after the WWF's takeover of the then-NWA-affiliated Maple Leaf Wrestling promotion.

It coincided with and contributed to the apogee of the "second golden age" of professional wrestling in the United States. In a time when weekly programming consisted primarily of established stars dominating enhancement talent, Saturday Night's Main Event was made up entirely of star vs. star matches. After leaving NBC in 1991, it aired twice on Fox in 1992 before disappearing. Saturday Night's Main Event was revived in 2006 as a "special series" to air on occasion on NBC as part of a deal between WWE and NBCUniversal.
