Straight from the former WWF Website:

In conjunction with the name change, WWE announced it has changed the name of its entertainment complex in New York City’s Times Square from WWF New York to "The World", currently the name of its popular night club.

Change your bets on who will say "WWF" first accordingly.

At least it's not WWE New York. That would just be too fucking much.

If it became WWE New York, then it would be the perfect night spot for all of us. After all, the acronym would be WWENY. That looks like it could be pronounced Weenie to me.

At least they haven't taken the "get the F out" campaign too far and had Flair change his catchphrase to "WHEEEEEEEEEEE!"

With the logo and the lack of "WWE" noted (and I don't think I noticed them doing a cutaway tonight either), I have to wonder if they're prepping to sell or close the thing. They certainly seem to be disassociating themselves with it.

WWE are the WORLD.

OK, that sucked - but it was right there.

Either way, I can dig making the whole building known as the World.

I have to wonder if they're prepping to sell or close the thing. They certainly seem to be disassociating themselves with it.

If it does, I'm hoping it had nothing to do with those "tree-huggers". Renting space at Times Square isn't cheap anyway - but still.

It's a fad building. When was the last time someone hosted a show there? It's a neat little idea, but when nothing is going on it's just a store in front with a big bar/dining area in back. Granted they are playing WWF footage all over the place, but it's really nothing special and I've never really seen it busy durning non show hours. They seem to sell a lot of T-Shirts out of there, but I doubt it's worth the rent. I can see them moving away from it in the near future.

They will probably seperate it a bit more, and try to host more different events there.
It's a fun place to go to though and IMO the food is pretty good.

Ric Flair's catchphrase is "WHFFFFFFFFFFFFF!"?

Heh.

(I tried putting a smiley face, really I did.)
