Sports Entertainment? I remember growing it WWF called it wrestling, now WWE calls it "sports entertainment" and refers to wrestlers as "Superstars". When did they cross over?

McMahon has allways called it "Sports Entertaiment" *throws up* but every now and then he'd let "Wrestling" slip.
Really around 93 or 94 was when he got rid of "Wrestling" and went with straight "Sports Entertainment".
One of the real reasons he done it was to get rid of having to pay sports tax

People who get all pissy over terms like 'sports entertainment' or 'superstars' or 'WWE Universe' piss me off. get over it, they use different words, it doesn't change anything.
