You know, we here have a pretty decent knowledge of wrestling's past here, collaborating to learn things.
But let's say someone from WWE's wannabe target audience, the grade school crowd, were to watch something like, oh, say, The Clash of the Champions DVD set...then see William Regal being called Steven Regal and being confused by it.
What other things could they be confused by?
One big thing I think would be why WWE used to be called the World Wrestling Federation, especially now that Blur-A-Mania is dead.

Why does everybody want Al Snow's mannequin head?
Who are those ladies and why do they follow Godfather around all the time?

"Why was everybody saying they wanted Daniel Bryan and CM Punk to be champions, but now that they are they want 'em to drop the belts?"

Why does Canada hate Shawn Michaels? He didn't do anything to them.

What do people shout "New Nation" when more than three black wrestlers are in the ring together?

When I was a wee nipper I bought all the magazines and library books about wrestling and learned history that way. I was/am a sad bastard. |

For a while (from around 97 till about that time when Cena and Orton had their seemingly neverending feud) I was able to write down from memory every WWE Championship reign in order. I possibly still can, but it may get muddled around 2009 or so. |

"Why is The Undertaker riding a motorcycle?"
"Since when is The Rock's full name 'Rocky Maivia' and not 'Dwayne Johnson'?"

A bit more serious take on it. It's sad to watch when a younger generation comes in and has no clue about why older wrestlers are worthy of respect. I went to a house show at the NEC in 2008 and it was only fans of a certain age who popped for HBK when he came out, and he'd been active on TV for 6 years straight at that point.
Same thing this year when the Undertaker got the "what?" chants. Few years back, nobody would even contemplated doing that.
