[What_A_Maneuver!]

Anyone notice at last nights pay per view they referred to WWE as 'World Wrestling Entertainment'?

Now I could be totally wrong but I'm pretty sure they haven't referred to it as that in a pretty long time. It's always been 'WWE presents...' as they were content on ditching the whole 'we are wrestlers' idea and lent more towards 'we are performers/superstars'.

Obviously it is a tiny thing to point out but interesting nevertheless. They would've changed a minor detail like this for a reason, maybe a new direction for the company? I don't mean a major change of direction but a slow change back into accepting that they're a wrestling company and this is the wrestling industry.

Again, I could be wrong and they have always referred to it as 'World Wrestling Entertainment' and if so, lock this thread.

If not, then discuss away.

Any chance they get to use the word 'entertainment', they're gonna take it.

Is this really discussion worthy? I mean, what's there to discuss?

They've been saying 'wrestlers' and 'wrestling' for months and months now, particularly since Punk and Danielson started becoming big.

When Punk and Danielson call themselves 'wrestlers' in every other promo there is no point trying to hide it.

Is this really discussion worthy? I mean, what's there to discuss?

Number 1) Clarification that they haven't referred to it as the 'World Wrestling Entertainment' in a while

Number 2) Whether this actually means anything or whether i'm grasping it at straws.

I believe this is the reaction the OP wanted to see, just not is this sarcastic tone.

Well judging by the quality of the PPV, I'd call it false advertising.

I'll mark out when they present it has World Wrestling Federation

Wow, people will do and say anything just to start a thread. What's the point of this thread? You are saying WWE cant call themself with what there initials stand for?
