Some WWE big time Superstars like Mr. Kennedy and the recently absent King Booker did get suspended for the believe of them recieving HGH and other Anogolic Steriods. King Booker and Queen Sharmell both quit because Booker thought it was not right that he got suspended for 60 days for a first offence, when the first offence is only 30 days. gameplaya 9:36 18 September 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.198.104.92 (talk) 01:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Why? Who said it was a former pay per view? As far as I know it's taking place in December as usual (December 16) Justa Punk 01:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

No because WWE doesnt have it on their schedule, go their schedule website under live events, and you will no see Armageddon under Dec. 16. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truko9308 (talk • contribs) 13:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

We should wait until the time comes that the PPV isn't happening. There's no use in speculating whether it will or won't happen. Virakhvar321 06:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Exactly. The WWE website has a habit of not announcing events (apart from Wrestlemania) very far in advance. The most common cut off is actually the Survivor Series (the event directly before Armageddon) Justa Punk 09:36, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

This is being discussed at the Armageddon talk page. The Hybrid 14:29, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I think it is a former PPV, even though some alreadys "knows" when it will be held and on what date. Also, it listed under former PPV'S, even though if you click on Armageddon, at the bottom of the page it is NOT listed as a former PPV.76.110.82.251 01:31, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

The agreed standard of WP:PW is to use when it is first aired in the United Stated since that is also how WWE handles it. Based on the spoilers I read (in my damn area, SD won't air until tomorrow night because of a damn Yankees game), the Hornswoggle situation won't happen until about halfway into tonights show (someone in an area where SD isn't delayed for a f*cking baseball game will know for sure).

I changed it back to Hornswoggle. Just be patient, when it airs here in America someone will change it.

According to the page here, WrestleMania XIV used it on the show (although the company logo was still the old school one). The company fully switched to the scratch logo before Unforgiven 1998 a few weeks later, although i'm not sure when they did it to be exact.

I see. But how come it showed it on the lower left of the screen while watching RAW is WAR or a PPV. Someone told me that he saw it during the 1998 Royal Rumble despite its ring banners had the "New Generation" version logo. Johnluisocasio (talk) 15:45, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Company history

My last edit is the correct situation. The CWC, then WWWF, then WWF (originally) in a business sense no longer exists. Vince McMahon Senior sold this lineage to the already established Titan Sports, established by Vince McMahon Junior. It was a takeover and there was no flow on. I think that was established earlier in the article anyway wasn't it? !! Justa Punk !! 07:12, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

No it wasn't. And you are wrong, in fact they even use all belt(title) histories of the former leagues.Aladdin Zane 14:09, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I am not wrong - and please don't use on screen matters as proof of a seperate business issue. They have nothing to do with each other, especially in this instance. !! Justa Punk !! 09:39, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

And I just double checked. Yes it was a takeover. Refer to the first sentence here for the proof. Titan Sports existed before the takeover (formed in 1980 and operating seperately to the WWF until 1982). !! Justa Punk !! 09:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

If you have watched the Tuesday, March 18, 2008 episode of "ECW" on SciFi and/or the Friday, March 21, 2008 episode of "Friday Night SmackDown!" on The CW, the next wrestler to be inducted into the "WWE Hall of Fame" is Eddie Graham. On the video the announcer said that Eddie Graham worked for Mr. McMahon's father when the company's name was CWC. From what I understand the company name was CWC, then WWWF, then WWF and then finally WWE. How come WWWF, WWF, and WWE are listed in the article but not CWC?

Event Results Pre-Determined or Not?

In this edit, TJ Spyke says of the word storyline, "That says nothing about the matches being pre-determined". Question: Are WWE events pre-determined or not? Thanks. --Art Smart (talk) 16:44, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

All I meant was that the source does not mention it being predetermined, you can't take a source and then write something completely different. Since the source doesn't say predetermined, you can't say they did. I don't see the relevance of the paragraph at all though. TJ Spyke 17:03, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Then you agree the victor in every bout is predetermined. And you agree WWE admits that their business model is based upon storylines. Is a storyline anything more than a euphemism for the victors being predetermined? To me, storyline = scripted = predetermined victors. What other conclusion do you draw? You ask about relevance, so I'll tell you. Here you can see that just today I reverted WrestleMania results in the following articles: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. If WrestleMania results are predetermined, then the victors don't deserve mention in Wikipedia calendar year articles. Their rigged victories are the result of nothing more than predetermined WWE storylines, not the result of their athletic skills in a true contest. When I looked on the WWE website for some type of fine-print disclaimer like "Our bouts are athletic demonstrations, not actual athletic contests", I found nothing of the sort, only the euphemism "storyline" that I cited. I didn't have time to search Wikipedia articles on WrestleMania or World Wrestling Entertainment for an indication that all the victors in bouts are predetermined. If it's clearly stated somewhere else, then please advise, and I'll retract my paragraph. But for a Wikipedia article on highly popular athletic events to never even mention that they are all rigged from the outset, to me that's unacceptably ignoring the elephant in the room. --Art Smart (talk) 02:14, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Storyline does not alway mean scripted. They come up with storylines for American Gladiators and similar type competitions. Also, professional wrestling already covers wrestling being fake, how is any of that relevent in an article about WWE specifically though? It's not unique to them, and there are hundreds of wrestling organizations. TJ Spyke 02:39, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, you are right that professional wrestling covers the fact that all such events have rigged outcomes. I'll refer to that article the next time I see (and revert) professional wrestling results in Wikipedia calendar year articles. Matter settled. I'll retract my WWE paragraph. Thanks. --Art Smart (talk) 03:45, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Hold on a sec. I thought in the year 2008 we would all know that wrestling has pre-determined results. But that doesn't mean every match is scripted. There are some wrestlers who can call their own shots and wrestle on the fly with no script only knowing who will win the match. And then there have been some wrestlers who have changed their own results in the ring. One notable example I can think of is Andre the Giant winning a match against the Ultimate Warrior because he got pissed in the ring at Warrior. So just because there is scripting doesn't mean that the results are guaranteed to go that way 100% of the time. Now as far as notability on a wiki claendar depends on the guidelines for the page. Is there a guideline that says athletic events with pre-determined results can't be submitted? Or is this your opinion? I personally don't like McMahon and his style of wrestling but that doesn't mean these events are not popular and don't deserve notable mention. To some people an event like Wrestlemania is bigger then the Superbowl. They have big parties and invite a huge group over to celebrate the event and get into it just like the Superbowl, I know because I've been to friend's houses who treat it as such. Alright I'm done decide what you will but do with knowing some of the facts before deciding.OfficialDoughboy (talk) 13:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

In the article it states that the WWE is publicly traded/privately run, To that I say HUH? How can a publicly traded company be privately run since it's a public company? I would think that Vince McMahon and his employees are beholden to the Board of Directors and shareholders therefore I doubt that its privately run. Can we please change this?

I missed this. Of course it can be privately run! As I understand it, the majority shareholders are the McMahons and they run things their way as is their right. The minority shareholders hold those shares in that knowledge, and they know if the stocks go down the McMahons are just as affected as they are. There's nothing wrong with that paragraph. !!

Wellness Program

"The program has fallen under intense scrutiny from branches of the media and professionals in the field of doping,[who?] who claim that not only has WWE overlooked, if not, encouraged steroid use prior to these pharmacy busts, but that the steroid testing itself is blatantly misleading. Under WWE drug testing policy, positive test thresholds for anabolic steroids are more than twice that of all other major sporting outfits including the Olympic committee."

I want to challenge this whole paragraph. Especially the last sentence, what other than "good faith" can you use to support this claim? What statistics prove this? I thought there had to be more evidence to make such an statement.WillB003 (talk) 03:04, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

If you wish to challenge it - place a "fact" tag after the paragraph concerned. If it hasn't been fixed in a minimum of two months, and there hasn't been any discussion about it on this talk page you should be able to delete it. That's the way I've worked up until now and I haven't been told it's the wrong thing to do. Plenty of people have this page on their watch list so you should get someone to provide a source. !!

Highest Ranking Title

I know the WWE Championship is the highest ranking title in the WWE, but when the World Heavyweight was on RAW was it the higest ranking title that time in WWE? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Master King (talk • contribs) 08:29, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

It's not in the WWE, but on a brand. WWE championship is for RAW, World Heavyweight is SD!, and ECW Championship is ECW. 76.110.82.251 (talk) 18:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
