alrighty, i don't post here often, and i don't want to come of as a jerk or anything, but why do quite a few people on these boards (when referring to the current product) seem to just refuse to accept that the company's been WWE for, what, half a decade now? does one letter really make that much of a difference?

I always say WWE. The only time when I make an exception and say WWF is if I am referring to something that happened back when it was still called WWF. And even then, I usually end up compromising and saying WWF/E.

I always say WWE, even when referring to the past (ex. I'll say Warrior won the WWE Title from Hogan at Wrestlemania 6)
I've just grown used to it

"WWE" is what I automatically say now, even though I was a "WWF" fan for many years.

I usually do it by time reference. If we're talking from old school through Attitude era, its WWF. Anything newer I usually say WWE. Or I'll just say WWF to piss off those easily offended by stupid stuff.

And even then, I usually end up compromising and saying WWF/E. Same here. Whenever this topic gets brought up people bitch about the change and claim to always call it WWF but, outside of these threads they never do (except in the above mentioned classic era).

It's not a sin if you still refer to it as WWF, I know I do it frequently especially when talking to old timers who watched it.
No big deal, if you want to call it WWE or WWF, up to you, unless if you work for Vince, then it would matter.

i know it's kind of stupid to let things like this get to me, it's just something really little that bothers me... i also get annoyed when people still refer to TNA as NWA-TNA

"The World Wrestling Federation" (WWF) is a powerful name. It describes a promotion that features the greatest pro wrestlers in the world. "World Wrestling Entertainment" (WWE) does not sound like a name for a wrestling promotion. It sounds incredibly week. At best it's maybe a good name for a promotion that supplies clowns to be used between matches (Oh GOD I may have given the WWF an idea. Curses! ). I don't like it. And the fact that if it hadn't been for World Wildlife Fund they would still be the WWF shows me that they are still the WWF at heart. The WWF should have just scratched an extra "W" on the symbol and gone back to their original name of "World Wide Wrestling Federation."

It's sad, but to me it sounds weird now to say WWF. I've gotten used to WWE now.

why compromise to WWF/E? Seriously, who cares what people call it?
The question was on the money for the debate, but some people get so much into it, changing it from different era's. I still call it WWF sometimes & WWE sometimes, I cant believe people put themselves through the trouble of compromising over WWF or WWE.

WWF - A Federation, one promotion, one roster,
WWE - A wrestling company, that now has 3 different brands, handles different parts of entertainment, movies, music, and of course the history of federation years are still apart of this.

I say WWF when talking about the past when it was called WWF and WWE when im talking about now since that's what it is called now.
And i might call it WWF to friends who dont watch it and simply dont know that it's changed and dont care either way

I treat them as two different things altogether. "Gee, that Yokozuna was one scary WWF champion." or "Boy, that Edge was one righteous WWE champion."

I usually still call it WWF out of habit and so that when I'm talking to people who don't know a whole lot about wrestling, they understand what I mean.

I refer to anything that happened before the name change as WWF, and everything after the name change as WWE. That's the way it should be done. Hogan faced Warrior for the WWF title. Brock faced Rock for the WWE title.
As for what I call it during conversations, usually WWF. Mostly because I talk about things from the past, therefore WWE isn't required.
