Who would make such a list anyways? That's stupid and dumb. Also, I am totally for Mania in Vancouver, but no way it's happening if 27 is in Toronto. Should show some love for Calgary and hold it there instead.

I read that top 10 worst name change list today. I actually gave it to my class. The reasons for why the WWE name change sucked was that it did not escape the fact that wrestling is pre-determined. I thought that was a dumb reason. The WWE is not trying to escape that fact.

Actually, the name change went rather well for the WWE.

Fuck yeah. Marketing Masterminds.

Tommy Dreamer sporting the "GET THE F OUT" Shirts is something I think about often, for whatever random reason lol

I think TIME forgot that they got sued and had to change the name.

they did cover that. But I think TIME just simply does not understand the market. WWE had to change its name. So when doing so, what could it have done better? Probably nothing. It kept a similar log, it has had everyone call in the WWE relatively quickly, and it kept mainstream in the know.

This was just a shot at the WWE

Drunk ass Vancouverites ruined their PPV privileges after Rock Bottom. Doubt Mainia will ever be at BC place. Dumb junkies in Vancouver ruin everything.

That's cause it's on the wrong side of BC. Mountains > coast. Also, I like your sig. Funny that there's probably going to be more Aisain around in Vancouver than there was in Beijing.

Must be some kind of delicacy

It's like a pile of rocks that looks like a people so that the Eskimo folks don't get lost on the vast expanse of ice they call home.
