WWE Terminology Update

For those of you keeping score at home, WWE wrestlers are still officially referred to as superstars, but entertainers is still acceptable.  They are no longer "sports entertainers".  WWE fans are to be referred to as the WWE Universe.  Anything having to do with this subject is also to be referred to as complete nonesense.

   I agree with Jay Dub on this one. Also is it me, or is WWE too high on itself atm? They try defining prowrestling simply because they are the highest rated show in wrestling? It may just be me, but that is the vibe im getting. I get it, in heart they are entertainers, but u need to learn when to blur the line. WWE is basicly admitting each show, "We are fake." Tna is known for taking itself tongue and cheekish in terms of reality concepts. WWE always tried to be more serious, and that is what worked with it. I mean it crossed the line when vince got shot, and carbombed. But it presented high budget quality, but now its getting too over itself.

   they are trying to hard to relate to kids, By calling in ring employees superstars they are tring to put them up there in kids minds with spongebob and Dora. Thats how stupid they are becoming.

   At least they haven't done an angle involving an animated Spongebob being superimposed on the screen yet...and I stress YET. I also think TNA's tv show has way too much talking, however their PPVs are usually awesome.

   if you go on youtube and search for "invisible wrestler" there's a match from japan where this guy had a match with an invisible opponent. he basically threw himself around the ring for 5 minutes before losing lol. when WWE gets to that point then we can start to worry.
   
   and WWE can define the sport because they are the sport. they've stood the test of time and when push came to shove they crushed the competition. they're the only show in town. they're global. they're such a huge operation that we don't even realize how big it really is. i saw an interview with vince mcmahon and he said that WWE employs over 700 wrestlers from Raw all the way down to the development territories. sure FCW is their big name territory but he's got his hands in other places too. even when ECW was really ECW back in the day Vince was funding that too.

    WWE only "crushed the competition" once the competition imploded. (However, I wouldn't put it past Vince to have payed off some of the backstage employees in WCW. Some of the ideas there at the end were so stupifyingly horrendous that someone would have had to purposly work at making them that amazingly suck-tacular.) But, when they were firing on all cylinders, WCW slapped WWE around on a regular basis.>>> That is what WWE need right now, a good slap in the face to get them to do something...creative or "entertaining", as they like to put it.
