Basically the only decision was between WWFE which was already the stock symbol of WWE.

If they needed to change it a few years earlier during the internet boom of the late 90s, I could maybe see it going to WWWF just because WWW was on everyone's lips.

But, yeah, the middle W stands for wrestling, even if almost always just say "WWE".

For a laugh.

It was after the show went off the air (as far as I remember) and as something to amuse the crowd/pull a rib on Kurt Angle.

huh. I wonder how many times a year the words "wrestling", "wrestler" and "wrestler" are said in WWE programming every year (not including Wrestlemania or World Wrestling Entertainment). Thirty? Maybe less?

He never mentions what "it" is that he does so well. That's why it's true.

I think it was brought up recently on the Wrestling Observer, but HHH vs Mysterio. I can't actually remember it happening, and if it has it certainly wasn't given enough hype as it should have.

Bragging Rights is a poor concept in general that was only weakened by its implementation last year. With three weeks of build and coming the night after Lesnar vs Brown Pride... this is going to be something else.

Imagine how much worse it would do if Lesnar wasn't fighting someone even worse at promoting his fight than Carwin.

That Danielson/Cena match wasn't even that great. It was a solid midcard match, but nothing really stood out to me, it's mostly just interesting as a curiosity. Why does it keep getting mentioned?
