This article should say everything.

If you can't check it, it pretty much says the Time Magizine put WWF%26gt; WWE on the bad list for worst name change. And that article takes it even further, saying that the general company (ted turner owns) behind that magazine is bias because they seem to hate WWE. CNN twisted Cena's words on steroids. Warner Studios(currently the CW network) canceled Smackdown after 2 years, then went to MyNetwork to beat CW in ratings.
Then Sci-fi to scyfy(who features ECW) is also on the list.
And so is TNA and SpikeTV.
Your thoughts?
And for the sake of people telling me, this is a stupid wrestling question, I will add a few more.
WQ: What is your favorite weapon to see under a wrestling ring?
WQ: Which type of finishers do you prefer. Quick and non-flashy (like a spear or a superkick) or a long and cool one (like the last ride or rude awakening)? I personally prefer quick so the match is for fast pace.
and
Do you think HBK would still be famous if he went by his real name, rather then Shawn Michaels? I'm not saying he isn't great or that name doesnt matter, but would it be different if you heard, Michael Shawn Hickenbottom, the Heart Break Kid. Mr Wrestlemania. The Icon. The Showstoppa. HICKENBOTTOM!!! This is for other wrestlers as well Like Chris jericho(irvine). How would irvine be used for Jericholics? And can you think of someone that might not be as great if they went by their real name? There isn't that many.TIME says WWF to WWE is a horrible name change?
wow thats very interesting. i personally like WWF a lot better. i mean you could say it in its entirety and it flows nicely compare to WWE. like, the following contest is for the world wrestling federation championship as opposed to for the world wrestling entertainment championship. thats why they always say WWE championship when they always used to use world wrestling federation championship.
but the points they bring up are interesting and i didnt know that, i agree the change was worse but it wasnt like going to wrestling entertainment world (WEW) or something stupid like that, i mean WWE isnt that bad and they were forced to change their name because of the world wildlife foundation
BQ. Ladder
BQ2 quick like sweet chin music, when its out of no where its more exciting and devastating
i think he would have had the same success but he probably would have been made fun of backstage as well as in promos. back in his prime he might have started a fight if someone made fun of him about it.
i dont think jerichos irvine is as bad as hickenbottom but i dont think it would have changed anything eitherTIME says WWF to WWE is a horrible name change?
The main thing I don't like about the name change is that it used to be WWF world wrestling Federation, now its wWE World wrestling entertainment so as the name says WWF had more wrestling now that I think about it quite a bit of the time WWF was more entertaining too.
WQ: something funny like a car door or a hot dog stand or maybe a match to set something on fire. I liked how Christian and Tommy dreamer got the car door and the hot dog stand
WQ: yes it could affect some superstars carrers in a bad wayTIME says WWF to WWE is a horrible name change?
I think it's sour grapes for Turner. It's a good point you brought up.
WQ 1 Triple H's sledge hammer
WQ 2 I personally like a fast pace match and like the super-kick and spear but if someone has really been a jerk during the match I like to see them get a good old fashioned finishing move with them knowing that they are going to get it.
HICKENBOTTOM really????TIME says WWF to WWE is a horrible name change?
i didnt read any of that as ive already read the article
but them saying 'it was a bad decision'
they were basically forced to do it.. so its pretty stupid
wq: i love seeing the ladder
wq:i like quick ones, but i also do like the ones that timeTIME says WWF to WWE is a horrible name change?
WWF was better, but WWE isn't bad either.
But yeah, Sci-Fi to SyFy is freaking horrible.TIME says WWF to WWE is a horrible name change?
The world wrestling federation... wasn't big enough for the logo WWF or WWF...

Doesn't really bother me, WWF or WWE.
WQ : Steel Chair or Kendo Stick were always good to see come out.
WQ2 : The quick non- flashy one were the good ones for me to see.TIME says WWF to WWE is a horrible name change?
The WWF hippies. The wones who care about the rain forrests and stuff were crying over WWF having the name as well and they got sic of it and changed itTIME says WWF to WWE is a horrible name change?
Well, McMahon didn't purposely choose to change that name. His company lost a lawsuit against the World Wildlife Fund. That's why he had no choice but to change the name of his company. I'm pretty sure he would have much rather kept the old name.
