The WWE Universe

[Jura]

Have people been saying that because Bret Hart said it or has it been around before that. I don't watch wrestling anymore until recently and I have been hearing it everywhere.

[Cool King]

It's been around for a while now.

[Jura]

It's pretty annoying.

[morningstar]

gay

[Xero]

Been around maybe a year.

Terrible name for the fanbase. God forbid you call them "WWE Fans".

[CSL]

Only the internet would have a problem with this. Pretty sure the other 98% of WWE fans don't care/probably even like it in the age of social networking.

Pretty much.

CSL nailed it

Wait that kind of contradicts itself...

[CSL]

If you're being literal, sure

[Team Sheep]

[Skippord]

TPWW Universe.

[parkmania]

I'd still love to know why Vince decided he didn't want to call the consumers of his product "fans" any more.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Fans VS. Members of the WWE Universe

[The Pope]

WWE universe sounds gay

[Droford]

I wonder if Planet Stasiak is in the WWE Universe?

[Savio]

maybe they pluto'd Planet Stasiak

[parkmania]

Where's (Perry) Saturn?

[Lock Jaw]

TPWW Universe.

Think I'm gonna start using that just to annoy people.

[Jura]

I hope it catches on in the TPWW Universe.

[ron the dial]

if wrestlers are superstars, the fans must be the universe in which they are contained.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

They should rename the brands planets and PPVs supernovas.

Calling the fanbase the "WWE Universe" encompasses more people. If you post on a messageboard about how much you hate WWE, you're still part of the WWE Universe because you're still engaging in the prodict. If you're a chick go to shows because your boyfriend but doesn't really watch, hey, you're part of the WWE Universe. If you're a parent who only goes to shows because your kid wanted it for his birthday, there you go again. It's also a subtle way of making fans feel more like a part of what is going on.

WWE: Supernova would sound better than some of the PPV name's we've had in the past.

[addy2hotty]

I'm kinda universe to it now.

Used I mean.

[GD]

Vince McMahon as Galactus.

[Poit]

Vince McMahon as Galactus.

Vince McMahon, devourer of ECW?

It's also as retarded as every other corporate renaming, such as calling someone on a cash register an "active seller".

It's dumb.

[Rammsteinmad]

WWE Universe just generally sounds very childish IMO.

[Xero]

Good thing their target audience were in diapers the last time Cena sold something.

[Gerard]

I remember the first night they said "wwe universe" they just casually referred to it like they'd been saying it for years. :wtf:
