    As a teenager, I remember seeing WWF logos and thinking ‘huh, World Wildlife Fund uses the same acronym as WWF’. Thought nothing more. But I would understand this could be a problem. So when they DID actually do the name change, I thought “wow, they actually had to change it.” WWE didn’t seem to roll of the tongue like WWF did. To me, still doesn’t
    I would begin to find the show to not have the same pizazz when they bought out the competition, and I would begin to lose interest in watching around this time. I would’ve been 18 when they changed the name. And I think the last show I would watch was the Raw/Smack Down draft.
    What I DO enjoy watching of wrestling is looking back, at Bret Hart being way better than HBK, remembering when Stone Cold was truly Bad to the Bone. And hearing stories from yourself, or The Undertaker, Buff, Nash, and the list goes on.

    I’m sure that if you go back to the first few shows of the WWE, some wrestlers still wore shirts that had the WWF logo on it. I still remember the commercial where the lady cuts a plant in the shape of the early 90’s WWF logo, cuts off the F and burns it into the then scratch WWE logo.

      @@daltonio6001 I think that’s fair. Unnecessarily stretching things out is definitely not the move, but this really didn’t feel like it did the topic justice. How much more material could be mined from “I wrestled the final WWE show”. Who all was on the card? What were specific memories he has? Did he talk with someone about their thoughts on the name change? It’s a hell of a premise, and the surface was barely scratched.
      I’m saying this in earnest; as someone that would’ve loved to hear about those things. It’s not being said in bad faith to shit on his channel. I really enjoy his perspective.
