Am I the only one who finds it kind of annoying when pre-name change stuff is referred to as "WWE"? I don't remember a "WWE Attitude Era". I remember a "WWF Attitude Era." I don't remember Steve Austin ever being WWE Champion. I remember him being a WWF Champion. Stuff like that. Maybe it's just me, but it really irks me.

It bothered me at first, but I got used it. They aren't allowed to use WWF anymore so all the stuff gets referred to as WWE. I don't think it is that big of a deal.

I don't mean when the company does it, I know they can't legally use WWF anymore, I mean when fans do it.

Hell I have trouble remembering to call ANYTHING WWE instead of WWF. I let the F part slip out all the time without even realizing it. To say WWE I have to be concentrating on reminding myself as I speak... I can't picture it being the other way around unless they're pretty new to wrestling. |

Fans who refer to it are likely post WWE change or very young of age to remember or respect WWF.

I usually interchange 'em. Sometimes I say WWE sometimes I say WWF.

I refer to anything pre 2002 as WWF I'm just like that Me too. I also refer to old stuff as WWWF, but I'm not 100% sure when they dropped the other W, so I'm usually wrong. ;D |

All of you that still call it "WWF" need to get the F out!
Yeah, I do it too. I just always loved the marketing when they did change over and that was their slogan, very creative and funny.

I do the whole pre-2002 is WWF thing. Calling it WWE bugs me not just because I'm used to WWF, but because the World Wrestling Entertainment makes no sense as a name to me. It made sense when people would say, "I will be champion here in the WWF!" A Federation is a place you can be and a thing you can be a part of, but an Entertainment doesn't seem to work the same way.
