Ric Flair/Mike Huckabee

[Mister Pigwell]

I always seen them as separate honestly.

WWE was born of the final killing off (kayfabewise) of ECW and WCW... combined with the still left standing WWF.

To most people, they kind of are... different eras at least. The current WWE wants you to think they've always been WWE, for some reason.

What does this have to do with Chris Jericho?

[bindergang]

Remember all the terrible things that came out of Howard Dean's screams?

Poor Mike Huckabee, after Ric Flair's done with his "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!".

[seano]

Forget Flair, when someone better is supporting Huckabee...........

CHUCK NORRIS

[Crappler El 0 M]

He should get Flair to make a comedy campaign ad ala Chuck Norris.

[willywonka666]

the news just doesn't know what they're talking about. They may as well said "WCW and WWE star..." Besides they called him FORMER and he's returning next week

Look at it this way. If you wanted to refer to Cingular Wireless, which has been engulfed by AT&T now, you'd have to refer to both names to let people know just what company you were talking about. If you just say AT&T, many people who weren't big followers of the wireless scene wouldn't know that that includes what was once known as Cingular. Well, not everyone in the mainstream public knows that the WWF is now known as WWE, even a few years later. Or if they do, they don't care. So when CNN reports on it, they have to refer back to both WWF and WWE. Not that it should take a rocket scientist to figure out that "WWE wrestling" is the same as "WWF wrestling," but... the world is full of not-rocket-scientists.

Now when the E reports on their own history, they refer to it as though it's always been WWE. "The Fabulous Moolah won her first WWE Women's Championship in..." for example. NASCAR does the same thing when they mention that so-and-so won the Nextel Cup in 1978, even though it was the Winston Cup at that point. These companies can do that, because the people watching their programs are already fans and already know the history.
