WWE: 6 Misconceptions Your Parents Still Have About Wrestling

2. It Is Still Called The WWF

Now this really grinds my gears and truly shows just how much ignorance these people have and how stupid they think we are for loving everything there is about wrestling. And quite frankly, even though many of the arguments against professional wrestling I take with a grain of salt, this actually offends me more than any of them as it shows they have little regard for the things you love the most. For those of you who may not have been around for the transition from the WWF to the WWE, it all began with the invention of the internet and which organization, the World Wrestling Federation or the World Wildlife Fund, would eventually end up with the WWF.com address. And it escalated to the point where the WWF were legally forced to change their company name in 2002 by the courts after four decades in business. And to a lot of people, including those who do not watch wrestling, found the World Wildlife Fund's corporate tactics and money spent on the issue a little hypocritical of an organization supposedly dedicated to the preservation of animal species and withdrew their support. But, the case was settled and the World Wrestling Federation became the WWE. Not that any of these WWE haters have any clue that this has happened and whenever decide to chastise people for their love of pro wrestling, always refer to the WWE by their old corporate moniker. The McMahon conglomerate has spent a lot of time and money rebranding their product and nowadays 98% of people now know it as the WWE. But the other 2%? No, it has and always will be the WWF. Although you can have fun with these people, one way is by asking why they are against the preservation of animals so much. But then you may get an angry hater, as they don't like being made to look like the fools they are. Especially if those fools happen to be your parents.
