And the fact that 9 times out of 10 it's articulated as "doubleyou double universe"...

I'm okay with it in written form, but when it's said in a WWE promo? Commence cringing.

Yeah, I agree. It's an annoying term. It's also pretty arrogant of them to think that extraterrestrials are only interested in their Earthling wrestling.

And the fact that 9 times out of 10 it's articulated as "doubleyou double universe"... Michael Cole says it like that EVERY SINGLE F***ING TIME. It annoys the shit out of me. And I too hate the term. I have no problem with them trying label the fans as an exclusive club or whatever, but the name itself sounds so hokey. The crowd no sells it every time it's said, heel or face. It also doesn't help that some of my favorites from the '90s are forced to say it. Like when Bret Hart returned and said it, I died a little inside.

i hate how Michael Cole says "Double You Double You-Universe"
sometimes he gets an E sound slightly in there, most times no.
EDIT: Er, Failure Turtle beat me to it. Glad i'm not the only one who notices.

I'm okay with it in written form, but when it's said in a WWE promo? Commence cringing. Exactly. I like the idea, kind of, of the WWE having its own world. Wrestling already does. In the WWE/Wrestling Universe you can do things that normally would get you 20 years in jail, but you just end up with a title shot or something...

It used to bug me, but meh, it's here to stay. So now I have fun with it. We all live in the WWE Universe, personally, I enjoy my home on Planet RAW, I own a small cottage in Dragontopia, which is west of the Cenation. I tend to visit Jomoville now and then, but the tyrant in the Palace of Wisdom doesn't let non-civilians in.
I'll see myself out as punishment for my not-funny joke.

See, I'd be okay if it was in reference to everything under the WWE umbrella: WWE, WCW, ECW, XFL, WBF, and so on. That's the "WWE Universe." But to misapply that term to the fans? Ugh.

Makes me think about WWE as a comic book as you often hear things like the Marvel Universe and DC Universe being spoken about. So that's what they mean about WWE Superstars not being "canonical". It actually explains why there's so many continuity issues; just imagine that every time there's a new era (Golden, Attitude, current) that it's a different continuity universe (like how Marvel has the Marvel Universe, Ultimate Marvel, MC2, ect.). Maybe WWE Multiverse would be a better term...
