Under the wellness program section it would be useful to include the date of the Chris Benoit incident, as without the date some context is lost. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.165.193 (talk) 07:26, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Wrestling is fake. Duh.

This paragraph has been removed several times:

The matches have predetermined outcomes in order to heighten entertainment value, and all combative maneuvers are worked in order to lessen the chance of actual injury. These facts were once kept highly secretive but are now a widely accepted open secret. By and large, the true nature of the performance is not discussed by the performing company in order to sustain and promote the willing suspension of disbelief for the audience by maintaining an aura of verisimilitude.

It's essentially a long-winded, verbose way of saying "wrestling is fake." It says nothing in particular about WWE, since this is true for pro wrestling in general. After someone else re-added it, I added a line that also says "wrestling is fake" in the first paragraph that should suffice. It flows a lot better and doesn't end up veering off into a non WWE-specific tangent. --Jtalledo (talk) 16:51, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

One editor's behavior to consider is "Kumarila".[1] Many of his edits are an "undo" of the contributions of editors with years of experience, such as Mikeymike2001, Saget53 and TheRedPenOfDoom. He's already been given repeated block warnings, so as of August 13, 2012, you may not have to worry about him.

But as to your other point, the existing paragraph now reads:

These two brands feature storyline-driven combat sport matches with predetermined outcomes and fighting maneuvers that are worked, all promoted as legitimate bouts."

That is, to a discerning reader, it reads "wrestling is fake". In fact ... why I'm here right now ... I just had to explain to someone online, who, after being quoted the paragraph, said "predetermined outcomes" doesn't mean it's fake. The WP:UNBIAS Wikipedia language here is not being sufficiently direct. The word "worked" is used too and hyperlinked, but that link is not even directly to the closest Wikipedia entry ("Gaming the system"). Instead of "worked", the article might need a more direct term less subject to interpretation? How about: "contrived", "fake", or "not sports events", instead, or in addition to "worked"? A word or two redundancy wouldn't hurt to nail it down. Leptus Froggi (talk) 00:27, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Added "Like other professional wrestling promotions, WWE's shows do not feature legitimate sporting contests." --Jtalledo (talk) 00:55, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Grin. I'm pleased with that. Just so long as they don't stage a "WWE wrestler body slams Wikipedia editor in reverse" event. Leptus Froggi (talk) 05:27, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

citations

It was my understanding that citations for subjects couldn't come from the article subject itself, i.e a website owned and edited by that person or company.

However, a large percentage of citations on this article are from WWE related website (WWE Corporate etc).

Yes, this is true. I'll tag the References section accordingly. --Jtalledo (talk) 19:00, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

FCW Divas Champion

It's no longer Raquel Diaz. Caylee Turner defeated Diaz at an FCW Live Event to win the championship. You've made this correction on Turner's Wikipedia, but everywhere that lists the FCW Divas Champion (as on this WWE Wikipedia) it still reads Raquel Diaz. Please fix this accordingly. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.76.229.230 (talk) 22:14, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries in the infobox might not be accurate. Here is a list from their SEC filing from 2011: http://www.faqs.org/sec-filings/110307/WORLD-WRESTLING-ENTERTAINMENTINC_10-K/exhibit21-1.htm --Jtalledo (talk) 00:53, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Page Move

The WWE is still the World Wrestling Entertainment but since its doing business as WWE everyone keeps changing pages such as the Triple Crown and Grand Slam pages as well as other articles which mention the WWE in general and War over changing it so I say since its still the World Wrestling Entertainment that we change it back from just WWE BlackDragon 21:21, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

See WP:RM on how to request a page move, and please don't move the page with no consensus. —GFOLEY FOUR!— 23:00, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

OK so do you think we should. I do since the name should be full since WWE is just the business name of the World Wrestling Entertainment. BlackDragon 00:15, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Considering WWE released an announcement regarding the name change and the LA Times (among many others) have reported it, no. This has been explained to you already here, here and here. Would explaining it again make a difference? InedibleHulk (talk) 03:40, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 9 October 2012

Your point being? How does any of this help improve the article? please remember WP:NOTAFORUM on talk pages. MIVP (I Can Help? ◕‿◕) - ^{(Chocolate Cakes)} 14:01, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Slammys & Other accomplishments

I think an entry for the slammy awards should be listed under the blue MITB winner. Have the latest winner be a link to the most recent section on the slammy page. & of course the date they were held on RAW.

I think the Other accomplishments chart should have a column for when the MITB is used for its title match reward. Also, a column for the previous winner.

the WWE PPVs

Hello, I think the schedule of upcoming ppv should be moved to the main WWE page, or at least mention the next coming PPV right before the titles chart is listed. Everything on RAW builds to the PPV, so it deserves a larger mention than just another link in the see also section.

Reception

What about a reception area for the page to show its long lasting impact in our pop culture and reviews of the series from critics? Will there ever be a section? --Matt723star (talk) 05:59, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

WWE Page move

Since WWE real name is World Wrestling Entertainment,We should rename the

page to World Wrestling Entertainment.

WWE is only trading name which was adopted in 2011(Renamed for World Wrestling Entertainment,Inc) While World Wrestling Entertainment is still the legal name of WWE.

Therefore please listen to my request and rename the

page to World Wrestling Entertainment.
