heard this.

It is possible to get the WWF name back, Vince has to pay royalties to the World Wildlife Fund from the money he makes from merchandise and PPV purchases and they will agree to it but he can only hold onto the WWF name if he keeps giving them money for permission usage. But he is so tight he won't give any money away.

Even if this is true Vince wont do it. The WWE name is already established and their is no point of going through the trouble to change it back to WWF for no reason

He's not going to change the name back. The only reason would be b/c most people who aren't technical wrestling fans still refer to it as the WWF. But to Vince, he doesn't really care about those people, so it doesn't matter. Hell, it's just the kids really that matter, right.....;). Anyways, my parent aren't wrestling fans, and when I tell them, I'm ordering a PPV (Usually a TNA one), then usually say, "Oh, that WWF Shit again"...so the name is still stuck to some.

But once again, he's not going to change it back.

i prefer the wwe name more now because it matches the product. Back when it was WWF it was an all round product (wrestling, entertainment, comedy) now the WWE is all about entertainment. Plus why change it back now when alot more people know it as wwe

Eh, There won't be any point on changing the name back to the WWF now, Maybe a couple years back but not now. The WWE name already has been established plus it's gonna be extra work considering the WWE dvd's and logos on the dvd's which has to be censored like the WWF ones now.

Exactly, the only people who still refer to it as the WWF, are people who arnt fans. Hell, my friend, who's not a fan at all, once said, and keep in mind, this was only about a year ago, "You, with all your WCW shit". I dont have any WCW stuff really, just WWE and ECW.

he is not going to the trouble of changing it back and making storylines on the show on why but really there is no point the wwe was different but everyone in the last six and a half years are getting used to it and it is here to stay ....

There would be no point really and i highly doubt Vince would want to go through all that trouble just to add Federation instead of Entertainment.

Why would Vince McMahon change the name back to WWF? I mean it's been almost 6 years since the change and the name is WWE everywhere, I would have said yes if this would have been said 5-6 years ago. But right now, there is really no point in going back and facing the troubles/ loosing money and changing the name to WWF.

As PeepShow said, people who know wrestling from the attitude era and don't watch it anymore still refer to it as the WWF but the new generation, the teens of today don't say WWF anymore!

It doesn't matter if its WWE or WWF. Even if those people who still call it wwf if they type that in the internet it gets redirected to wwe anyway so its not like wwe is at risk of losing fans who want to watch it again. Its a silly argument IMO its WWE, has been for the last 6 years or something why change it whether its E or F its still going to be the same product.

Yeah, I don't care about the name of the company. It's only that John Cena who should remain John Cena. Change the name of WWE to any of this:

World Wrestling with Girls [WWG]
World Wrestling Kiwi's [WWK]
World Wrestling Cena [WWC]
