WWE....What's up wit dat?
It's some fucking ridiculous shit dude. The World Wildlife Foundation/Fund (whatever) sued, and won, the WWF to change their name because of copyright infringement.
Now that's some BS,
-Gigas
WWE just doesn't sound right. i actually got annoyed everytime they said it. but ehh... whatever. it won't sound right, but eventually it'll stick.
and uhh... "Get the F Out!"
I really think the World Wildlift Fund/Foundation (whatever) was wrong here. They know how much easier it would've been for them to change their name, the World Wrestling Federation was one of the most recognizable icons in America (not that I'm not sure the World Wildlife Fund isn't a well known staple to it's interest group either, but seriously). Well, at least this should get WWF, err, WWE some publicity.
I hate the fact they did it, it ruins the tradition of the company. I also hate how the general quality of wrestling has been going down, and I have to tune to Smackdown if I wanna see any decent wrestling because RAW has been sucking. I wonder if Vince made the rosters so one-sided in terms of talent intentionally to showcase "his show" being superior. The quality of matchups on RAW has pretty much been shit since the split.
But as much as I hate the tradition of the company being urinated on as it is with the name change, I have to say, that "Get the F Out" slogan their using is pretty funny :lol:
It doesnt matter if the WWE is more recognizable with the "WWF" name.Quote:

It's all about prior art (from what I've read about the case). The Wildlife Fund had the name registered first, so therefore they got to keep it.
Thats like saying if Ford went and made a car named "SEGA", and after a couple of years it was more recognizable than the Sega that makes videogames.
And let's say Ford took Sega to court over the name "SEGA", would Ford have a chance in hell of winning, just because more people thought "SEGA" was a car?
Hell no!
Just because more people associate the name with a company more so than another, doesn't mean they get to keep it.
IMHO: I miss the old "World Wrestling Federation" already :*(
*lol, sorry about this post being vague, but it's kind of a difficult concept to explain via posting...*
In six months the WWF is either going to be completely different or completely dead.
Well, this whole fiasco is gonna turn out to be BAD publicity for the wildlife fund. There are millions...and millions of wrestling fans who are unhappy with this situation- regardless of the legality it has...
zerodash, for one is VERY sad
:(
The WWE undisputed championship doesn't sound right even heard JR and the King slip up.
WWF seems to be going downhill fast the only hope is if they sign Goldberg since he his a free agent now.
So did Flair turn heel and join the NWO?, or just turn heel and is helping the NWO since he is the RAW brand owner.

Either way it's lame.Quote:

I mean how many times have we seen the "I'm the evil ruler of the WWE" played out? I thought it was cool to have a "co-owner" of the WWE that was cool, as opposed to the evil, womanizing Vince McMahanon.
In other news, I've found the Booker T./Golddust storyline pretty freaking hilarious. The "moive review" segment, and lasts night "7-11" skit rocked!
