He reminds me of a WWE character, I don't know why people take him so literally. I actually like his attitude, except he's playing for the wrong team...

TIL the WWF changed its name to acknowledge reality! (I thought WWE was a typo and looked it up.)

No, they changed it because they had to. They sued the World Wildlife Fund for trademark infringement (they wanted wwf.org), and lost (World Wildlife Fund was older).
