The WWE Universe
 
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 02-02-2010 02:22 PM
It's been around for a while now.

Jura 02-02-2010 02:32 PM
It's pretty annoying.

Been around maybe a year.

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

CSL 02-02-2010 02:53 PM
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.

Wait that kind of contradicts itself...

CSL 02-02-2010 05:41 PM
If you're being literal, sure

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

Fans VS. Members of the WWE Universe

WWE universe sounds gay

Droford 02-03-2010 10:44 PM

Savio 02-03-2010 11:25 PM

parkmania 02-03-2010 11:38 PM

I hope it catches on in the TPWW Universe.

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

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.

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

It's dumb.

WWE Universe just generally sounds very childish IMO.

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

Gerard 02-11-2010 09:02 PM
I remember the first night they said "wwe universe" they just casually referred to it like they'd been saying it for years. :wtf:
