It used to be called WWF (World Wrestling Foundation), but the WWF was sued by the other WWF (World Wildlife Foundation) for using the same acronym.  So, they had to change their name to WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).\n\nhere's a paste from http://www.wrestleview.com/info/faq/wwe.shtml:\n\n\nWhy did the WWF change their name to the WWE?\nThe WWF have been in a court battle with the World Wildlife Fund since 1994 over the rights to the "WWF" initials. Both parties came to an agreement in which the World Wrestling Federation would use the "WWF" intials for limited use only. However, with the WWF becoming insanely popular in the late '90s the "limited use" agreement became a hard thing to obey which caused the World Wildlife Fund to take the WWF to court yet again.\n\nAs they years went by it appeared as if the World Wrestling Federation would overcome the court battle and not have to deal with the matter anymore. The court battle became very intense in late 2001 which many thought the World Wildlife Fund would win but only get writes to the "wwf.com" domain name.\n\nThen in early May of 2002, the judge ruled in favor of the World Wildlife Fund for the rights to the "WWF" initials. Many believe the reason the judge ruled in favor of the World Wildlife Fund was due to the fact that the organization had been founded in 1961 while the World Wrestling Federation changed to the "WWF" initials in 1979. The WWF then changed their name to the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) as a result of losing the case.\n\nThe official website for the WWE can now be found at WWE.com instead of WWF.com.

The World Wildlife Fund filed a lawsuit against the WWE (formerly known as WWF) because of the name "WWF" had the same name as the "World Wildlife Fund".  "WWF" decided to change their name to "WWE"\n\nHere is the article for more information why they change "WWF" to "WWE":\n\n\nWorld Wrestling Entertainment & brand extension\n\nA 2000 lawsuit from the World Wildlife Fund (also WWF) was settled in 2002, when on May 6, 2002, the company changed its name to World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., or WWE. For a short while, the WWE had a slogan: Get the "F" out. This forced the company to issue new licensed merchandise such as apparel, action figures, video games, and DVDs with the new WWE logo. WWE also chose to split its talent roster among its two largest television shows, RAW and SmackDown!. Under this "split brands" arrangement, each brand maintains a separate and non-overlapping roster of wrestlers, has championships exclusive to that brand, and is run by a different storyline "General Manager". The Legends program began informally with the Hall of Fame ceremony to add new inductees, held during WrestleMania weekend. The introduction of WWE 24/7, WWE's on-demand television service, and the success of career retrospective DVDs such as The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection facilitated and enhanced the WWE Hall of Fame and at times brought a sense of nostalgia back into older wrestling fans. The WWE Hall of Fame currently holds such legends as Andre The Giant, Sgt. Slaughter, Big John Studd, Antonio Rocca, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Eddie Guerrero, Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan.

All of the answers are correct.  The physical contact are all real, but there's a predetermined winner.  In other words, scripted.  I myself is a WWE fan, but I watch for the sake of entertainment.  That's it.  \n\nYou might wanna read the infamous Montreal Screwjob, where WWE chairman Vince McMahon literally changed the outcome of the match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels in what would've been the biggest controversy in pro-wrestling.  This for sure that all results are predetermined and thus having a storyline for each character.  It just happened that McMahon changed the predicted outcome that led to an almost boycott of Monday Night RAW by some superstars the day after.

I Agree, WWF in the mid to late 90's was so much better than the WWE of today.

Olympic Wrestling is not in square shape....Why WWF is a wrestling ring square? Because it is the Entertainment not pure sport. The ring is stand for stage for the acter. But Wrestler should have very good skill in many sport. It harder than ordinary sport and very danger.

I think this is part of a plan to bring more fans to both ECW and WWE.  All McMahon is doing is taking big names from both sides into the ring in hopes that their matches will inspire fans to watch both shows.  To be honest, rating-wise I don't feel that ECW and WWE are competing with one another at this point.  Sure, their wrestlers are competing against each other in the ring, but all-in-all they have the same intentions--to get the same fan base to follow both shows respectively.  (Oh yea, and I totally agree with you.  Those title belts aren't going anywhere!)

nWo was pretty cool.\ni grew up watching WWF (late 80's to early 90's), then went to WCW (mid to late 90's), & now strongly for WWE, but TNA has some interresting aspects to it though.

No...I don't think so. WWE actually is better than TNA. The same question, do you think WWE is better than WWF ? There are lots of reason why WWE is better than TNA. One of that is TNA look like a movie !

Vince McMahon did a great job of marketing the WWF and he gave us a great wrestling organization that millions have been able to watch and enjoy.  The WCW was run poorly but they had the best talent as they came out of the NWA.  If the WWF had Sting, Rick Flair, The Steiners, and The Road Warriors back when each was in their prime, the WWF would have been twice the organization it was.  Just imagine those great WCW wrestlers with Hogan, Undertaker, Austin, Rock, Michaels, and the other WWF talent.

DX and ECW are differnt types of groups DX is a WWE group. ECW is a tv show a side from WWE.ECW is an anti-WWE group. WWE doesn't alow a lot of hardcore matches. Thats what ECW stands for Extreme Championship Wrestling.WWE and ECW are rivals. The Spirit squad and DX are rivals. Raw (WWE) comes on monday at 8:00 central time ECW comes on tuesday night at 8:00 and Smackdown (WWE) comes on at 7:00 friday night. HHH is a wrestler from a long time ago he is a 10 time wwe champion hes been around a long time now and so has his partner Shawn Michaels

-Cena is not the WWE Champion anymore, RVD beat him at One Night Stand for the Championship.\n-Rikishi was released by the WWE on July 16, 2004, following repeated requests that he lose weight or be fired.\n-Extreme Championship Wrestling, ECW, was once its own brand.  WWE brought it back for hardcore fans.\n-WWE changed its name from WWF b/c the World Wildlife Fund decided one day to not let McMahon use the acronym anymore (they had permission before)\n-McMahon hates HBK b/c a while back, McMahon was bragging about how he screwed Bret Hart, and HBK told him it was time to let it go.  Not surprisingly, McMahon got pissed.\n-Flair is like the only true legend left working full time besides Mic Foley, although I wouldn't consider him a legend.  So Flair is good for the people looking for some nostalgia.
