I don't think the name change had anything do to with it... They changed the name from WWF to WWE because the World Wildlife Fund was using WWF first and won the lawsuit (I can't remember who sued whom). In losing the law suit they were forced to change the name and they chose WWE.
I'm not sure when they came out about being scripted... but I did notice it a while back (maybe 2001 or so?).
