(WWE)* When A&E was first launched more than 40 years ago, its name was "Arts and Entertainment," so it makes sense that it teams up with World Wrestling Entertainment to look back at those decades through the lens of sports entertainment—because the WWE is both art and entertaining. The network is now back with all-new seasons of its WWE hits, “Biography: WWE Legends,” “WWE LFG (Legends and Future Greats),” and “WWE’s Greatest Moments.” Don't pretend like you're not interested. WWE endures not only because it's engaging (it is) but also because it has captured our collective imagination at some point in all our lives. **Also Read: [Remembering the time Hulk Hogan won the Gulf War (after it ended)]()** A&E's WWE series have become some of sports entertainment's most engrossing and favorite shows. "Biography: WWE Legends" kicked off in 2021 with none other than "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and the "Macho Man" Randy Savage. It's a testament to the WWE's persistent relevance that now, in the show's fifth season, the network is still telling the riveting, behind-the-scenes stories of athletic performers who had us in awe—and in some cases, still do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nng3PQQzXc0 While outsiders argued over whether or not professional wrestling was real, the rest of us suspended our disbelief for the heroes (also known as "faces") and villains (aka "heels") who put their bodies on the line for the *show.* The violence didn't need to be real, which is what naysayers never seem to understand. The reality is what we see on television and no one understood that better than the Superstars who made it *seem* real for us. Outside of the squared circle, the performers faced difficult personal lives on the road as they pursued the career they loved, even if there was no money in it. “Biography: WWE Legends” follows those personal stories of life before and after wrestling, for better or for worse. Oftentimes making the in-ring performance even *more unbelievable.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgiXzON23Fk Some might scoff at the idea that a WWE performance can be so memorable, but in the days before streaming, YouTube, TikTok, or whatever comes next, America shared moments on television—and as often as not, these were WWE moments. “WWE’s Greatest Moments" recounts these shared experiences. If I were wrong about this, kids today wouldn't recognize Andre the Giant. The Undertaker. Hulk Hogan. Even for fans well-versed in WWE lore, remembering the surprises of the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, or how Superstars like The Rock and John Cena transcended the ring onto the silver screen are still teeming with excitement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SKtukMFDr4 “Biography: WWE Legends,” “WWE LFG (Legends and Future Greats),” and “WWE’s Greatest Moments” are all back with new episodes airing Sundays starting at 8 p.m. and streaming later on AETV.com. ### Don’t Miss the Best of We Are The Mighty **• [Fort Knox went all Hollywood during filming of a military comedy classic]()** **• [The 6 best WWE ‘Tribute to the Troops’ matches]()** **• [This No. 1 overall draft pick became the NFL’s MVP while in the Army]()** ## Author Blake Stilwell is We Are The Mighty's Editor-in-Chief, covering military news, entertainment, and history, along with veteran education, employment and entrepreneurship.
