Major name change to World Wrestling Entertainment

Eliminating the 'Wrestling'

Maybe they will call it World Sports Entertainment (WSE)

Just rumours,

The site was completely redeveloped so just putting the WWE logo there does not mean they plan on changing anything.

It's not rumours and they don't plan to, they already have...

I can see where Vince is going with this but they will always be known more for wrestling than producing z-list straight-to-the-bargain-bin films.

On another note, I have 3 mates that have gone to 'Mania this weekend, 2 have front row seats and have promised to have the Welsh flag on show, hoping Mason Ryan shows up :)

£500 travel pack I believe. Or £1000 something along those lines

Includes Hotel etc.


I dunno what WWE are playing at. Over the past few years it just feels like a massive slope of crap. Saying that TNA are suffering worse.

If WWE have dropped wrestling from the name

What kind of effect will it have all round.

The term wrestling is the only thing that gives them the sports entertainment name.

without that what difference is MNR from Eastenders?

And can it be shown on Sky sports if its not a sport?

Minimal effect or Massive effect anyone got any idea how far in this goes.

As Russ has said, The movies are basically garbage, they reach a minimal audience because noone is interested. I could understand if they were like Virgin and had many fingers in many pies!

Re: WWE
 
It won't make any difference. They'll always be a wrestling company to its fans, they'll always be the major player in professional wrestling, this is just typical of a company trying to force a rebrand on its customers.

People will still tune in and immediately recognise their product as professional or 'performance' wrestling. At a push I'd compare the ramifications of this change to what happened when they went from WWF to WWE - virtually none.

Wow..

Possibly the worst PPV I've ever seen.

What can you say? It was underhpyed to be fair and I dont blame them considering it was 3 Hours of absolute crap. The only thing that was even half decent was the Streak match.

Dont think I plan on watching another WWE show again. Missed Raw for the last few weeks and after tonight I can clearly see I'm not missing anything spectacular if the Main PPV of the year can offer nothing more than MNR can.

It seems like WWE is starting to offer more 'Acting' than In-ring matches and if thats the case then I'll get an extra 2 hours sleep on a monday night :p:


- Sheamus and Daniel Bryan was a Dark Match which is a shame considering all but one match in this PPV were awful
