I'm curious as to what fans say most of the time since sometimes I hear "the WWE should do this" and then other times fans say "No, Vince should do that". Do you refer to them as an entity, or by its chairman?
Most of the time, I say "the WWE".

The E. Vince has final say, but he's ont the only guy in charge of planning things.
However, Vince should stay off my TV for a while. At least he's done that.

When talking about wrestling to people who don't watch often, I call WWE "Vince McMahon's Wreslting," and I call TNA "The other wrestling show with Sting."

I just say "WWE", not "The WWE" out of habit from saying "The WWF". If you spell out the words, you'd be saying "The World Wrestling Entertainment". I still miss the World Wrestling Federation.

Where's the "WWF" option? I swear, even though I picked back up pretty regularly and then hardcore around late 2005/early 06 and haven't let up since, I *STILL* refer to it as "the WWF" way more than I should. I think that would've been a valid option, though I understand the line of thinking here, "do you think of it as a whole or as Vince's baby." I'd have to vote for WWE, with the added aside that an F slips out more often than not.

Exactly! Had I read to the bottom of this short thread, I'd have seen this post which basically says what I was trying to say. "The World Wrestling Entertainment" sounds stupid, and I too miss the WWF, the logos, and hearing Vince say "World Rrussling Federation" and "Russlers/Rustling" as opposed to "Superstars" and "Sports Entertainment." Oh, and I love the sig picture, RVD is cool with me and I'm a huge Burt Reynolds/Bandit fan. Thats definitely a classic photo op.

I've been surprised by how many non-wrestling watching friends of mine know that the WWF doesn't exist anymore. I say WWF to them just to make sure they know what I'm saying, and I've had quite a few correct me. I've gotten used to WWE, even though there's no damn "E" in the logo. At first, anytime I would try to say WWE, my body would reject it like a bad kidney.

I have to keep mentioning to them that the WWF (World Wrestling Federation) has crumbled at the mighty hand of those dastardly pandas.

I don't want to nitpick, but I should have specified that the question was when you talk to other fans about the WWE planning to do something, would you say "Why doesn't the WWE realize..." or "Why doesn't Vince realize...", hence why there isn't a "WWF" option. It was about referring to the head guy or the WWE as a collective, not "what name do you prefer". Sorry.

There are alot more morons running that ship than just Vince.

I use WWE, not The WWE.
And I think it is stupid to call it by the chairman of a company. You do refer to Heinz Ketchup as Teresa or Teresa Kerry. You do not call Microsoft Bill, or Gates. So why should you call WWE Vince?

I say "WWE." "The WWE" sounds ridiculous.
