The WWE Univrse is WWE's latest faggoty attempt to distance themselves from Southern Rasslin. As with calling the fucking BELT a '"Championship", or with calling their Female Athletes "Divas", so it was decided that having "Fans" would make it seem too much like an old-fashioned sport. Because of course, various forms of entertainment such as Movie Franchises, Televisions Shows and Musicians don't have "Fans", they have Universes!
