WWF to WWE transition period
So how many days did it take to change from WWF to WWE?

Off hand I don't recall, however the first match they had on tv under the name WWE was a hardcore 543333335 man cluster fuck where the title changed hands 953459025890 times. Each time Lillian would announce the new WWE hardcore champion.

Did the Get The F Out campaign start before or after the change? If after it took one show.

It was a very confusing and disappointing episode of RAW.

The change happened overnight. I remember going to the Royal Rumble 2001 site (way after the event took place) and saw the logo changed, before I heard about the WWF/WWE change.

Yeah, it officially was changed on 5/5/2 and then announced on the next night's RAW (5/6/2) @ the Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, CT, for those looking for the exact dates that WWE became the company's new initials. It's rather confusing however, to buy a DVD of whatever superstar/May 2002-present PPV DVD or whatever and they have to edit out, for example, the announcers saying "WWF" in a title match situation. All you hear is blah blah blah, so and so is putting the (...) title on the line, but they don't have to make any edit's regarding the term "World Wrestling Federation".

It's really annoying to me when they are talking about HoFers and mention that so-and-so was "X-time WWE champion", when he retired before the name change. I understand they can't say "WWF" any more, but just call them "World Champion" FFS.

They can't call them the World Heavyweight champion because that's the WCW Title, or wtf ever. Would it really be that bad to just call it the Federation title or some shit?
But yeah, that bugs the hell out of me too. Stan Stasiak was never the WWE champion. |

I do notice they really push the WWWF when they can.
Calling them the World Wrestling Federation champion is the perfect compromise. |
