When The WWF became WWE, how long did it take you to stop calling it WWF and start calling it WWE without really thinking about it? I think it took me about a month or two.

It took me awhile. When I would see anyone with the WWE Championship I'd think 'There he is, the World Wrestling Entertainment Champion....' It just sounds so clunky and awkward. I had hoped that they would either change back to WWWF or even try something different and go with World Wrestling League or Association....it's just odd.
But it's a different age, I have to remind myself of Robert Roode the Total Non-Stop Action Champion too.

I'm old-school...It will always be the WWF to me. In conversation I usually flip-flop back and forth between calling it the WWE, the WWf, The Fed, and the Evil Empire.

I do use both; but i'm quite resiliant to calling it WWE, since i watched WWF since the late 80s and all my favourite wrestlers are back in the WWF Era. But i tend to call post-name change in 2002 "WWE" and before that WWF, although i still mix them up.

Took me the longest time to get used to it being WWE not WWF. Call it the WWE now but it will always be the WWF to me.

i was staunchly opposed to calling it wwe for years, even now it's a 50/50 split no purposely though i just don't really think about it all that much

Can you believe that this May it will be 10 years since they got the "F" out. I was hesitant at first to call it WWE but im more then used to it now.

i don't remember. but i do remember the first WWE raw. they had a hardcore title battle royal early in the show where every time the title changed hands the ring announcer made the announcement, "and the new WWE hardcore champion..."
they were trying to make fans get used to the change fast.

I remember the first WWE Raw where they were really trying to push the WWE name and good ol' JR had a WWF shirt on.

I still refer to the older matches as WWF and call the new product WWF on occasion. Never liked the E and never will. It always is WWF on the picture in my head.

What sucks is that when i talk about the WWE to my friends who were fans during the 80's/Attitude era, I feel like an idiot saying "WWE"
I would love it if one day someone just said "World Wrestling Federation" on RAW.
Screw Sports Entertainment, I want Professional Wrestling.
