It's a name change. If wrestling was popular it wouldn't matter. It's been 6 years now anyway.
That underscore under the F ruined the whole buisness for me.
WWF was WWF before WWF was.
It's pretty close in the entertainment stakes. Not good for WWE when you consider one isn't entertainment based.
Why would the WWF let WWE exploit the name they owned?

Tito Ortiz plans to launch own fight promotion
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Jun 03, 2008 at 1:28 pm ET
Tito Ortiz, a former UFC light heavyweight champion who's likely concluded his service to the organization, expects to launch his own fight promotion and co-promote shows with some of the sport's already established organizations.
Ortiz, who's currently promoting his new autobiography "This is Gonna Hurt," briefly mentioned his plans while a guest on today's Howard Stern Show.
Ortiz, who fulfilled the terms of his UFC contract after suffering a unanimous-decision loss to Lyoto Machida at UFC 84, also criticized the UFC's pay scale and took a swipe at his recent opponent during the interview.
When asked about the UFC, Ortiz said he was "moving to a bigger and better company." When asked which one, he said he plans to launch his own.
"I'll be doing my own promotions and I'll possibly be co-promoting with some other companies already in the business," he said.
However, when asked about fighting on CBS (which has a deal with EliteXC), the 33-year-old said it was "possible."
Ortiz, who made $210,000 in his latest fight (according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission and Ortiz himself), estimated that UFC fighters are making only "about three percent" of the UFC's per-event take "if they're lucky." He said that prompted his decision to get in the fight-promotion business.
As for his latest fight, Ortiz said the UFC knowingly scheduled an opponent that would "run away from me for three rounds."
"There were a few times when I was like, 'Come on, man. Don't puss out. Let's fight,'" Ortiz said.
Ortiz, the longest-reigning champion in UFC history, dropped his career record to 15-6-1 with his loss to Machida. After picking up five straight victories, he's now 0-2-1 in his past three fights.
