* When referring to our talent, we ask that you refer to them as WWE Superstars both for the men and women and NOT as “professional wrestlers.”
* As of March 2016, our female Superstars are NO longer referred to as WWE Divas, so please call them WWE Superstars.
* Please refer to our company as WWE and NOT World Wrestling Entertainment.
* Please do not refer to our company as “the WWE,” but rather just “WWE.”
* Please do NOT use the term “professional wrestling,” instead using WWE or Sports Entertainment to describe our brand (E.G. “We have many WWE fans in the Tampa area” or “I have always been a fan of sports entertainment.”)
* The WWE Championship or WWE Title are appropriate names for the title. It is not called a “belt” or a “strap.”
WWE is full of corporate bullshit. That's why fans are migrating en masse to AEDub or Impact. I think sports entertainment on its deathbed, and wrestling is going to rise in its place.

The titles are constantly referred to as belts for a few months now on TV.

>Migrating en masse to impact >10k viewers Gee, I hope the migration to AEW is something more than ‘en masse’

So what happens if an official breaks any of these guidelines?
Michael Murphy
It's cringe but this is old-hat. None of this is new or surprising. I don't even understand why it's considered worthy of reporting. WWE would send this out to everyone offering them major coverage just to ensure consistency in corporate terminology. It would be a completely routine and mundane part of them organising the event.

They want wrestling to be synonymous with the WWE so using ‘the’ doesn’t have the same effect. It’s just some stupid corporate horseshit that no one would pick up on
Sebastian Stewart
Twenty pure strikes, a bottle of Jack and two cartons of beer for the boys.
Asher Watson
Grammar issues. There's no "collective" noun in their name (federation, corporation, etc.) which makes it look like "the World Wrestling Entertainment" which doesn't make any sense.
Christian Phillips
fascist company

First off, please stop the frog pictures and the use of t., I'm sorry /int/ has brainwashed you but that's not how true 4channers operate.
Here's the difference - "the WWE" is a leftover from "the WWF". Like with "the NBA" or "the NFL", the the is there to mean " the ... Federation". They didn't think this through when switching to WWE. You can't say "the World Wrestling Entertainment (Incorporated)" which is what "the WWE" would mean. However, they always continued saying "the WWE".
Justin Myers
The W word. Vince is ashamed of being a wrestling promoter.
Wyatt Sanders
They quietly changed it so that legally, WWE doesn't stand for anything. They haven't said world wrestling entertainment once in years. This was done out of hatred for the word wrestling.
Luke Reed
Actually considering the direction they've taken in the last 5 years, we should be thankful they don't call themselves professional wrestling. To do so would be even more dishonest than it was in the 5 years before that.
Xavier Hill
Why not just change the name to Sportsentertainamania?
Alexander Rodriguez
>Please refer to them as Audience Enhancement Devices and not “tarps” >Please do not refer to WWE “draws” as that is insider language and also not accurate >Please do not call The Undertaker “Mark” even though he is

PROFESSIONAL WRESTLERS AND THE WWE DIVAS WILL WRESTLE OVER THE WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT CHAMPIONSHIP STRAP AND THE WWE DIVAS BELT.
