What the hell, they just cut off the F and left it at WW. That's gay, WWE is gay. They should have let the Alliance win and they could have just made WCW...




2002 Crack Committee Objectives:

:-P

1. 94 Wins and NL East Title by the Mets this year

:)

2. Hate the Braves with a passion

:confused:

3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year

:-D

4. Mets win World Series!!!

:-D

5. Have Red Sox miss the playoffs yet finish 10 games in front of the Yankees

:)

Why change an insitution because some

Because a judge determined that they were in violation of trademark laws.

Why, because trademark laws are being upheld? I don't think the fact that it's the World Wildlife Fund that held the trademark first has anything to do with it; if it were a porno company, the laws would apply to them just the same.

With that said, this is some bad luck for the WWF. Being forced to totally drop your brand name, a name that's been established and recognized for twenty years, is a major blow. At least I can't totally blame Vince for this one.

I'm just wondering if they won't explain the changes to the fans, and just refer to themselves as "WWE" as if that's been the name all along. I wouldn't be surprised, and so far, I see nothing on their website explaining the change to people who may not know.

EDIT - Just saw this on Dave Meltzer's site:

It is believed that the former WWF will be starting a slogan "Get the F out" tomorrow night on Raw as they announce the name change to WWE due to giving up the legal fight in the United Kingdom.

Seems weak to me...

You're absolutely right, it does seem weak Sir O, but if you think about it, how the hell can they explain it? They can't do your first point and just pretend like it's always been like that, cuz that's intelligence insulting on a level even pro wrestling hasn't experienced before!

So, they have to explain it someway. They can do a grand new angle and explain it that way and then they can pass it off as another BRAND NEW ERA (just like when WCW was bought, when the nWo came in, and the split, and probably if and when Goldberg comes)!!! But that would piss most people off and would seem so contrived and forced because even those who don't know the reason will figure out they probably had to change it for legal reasons if they have two brain cells about business and know that large money making organizations don't change their brand name after 20 years of it being built just because Ric Flair and Vince McMahon hate each other in storylines.

So, the only, or at least BEST way, probably is, if you think about it, to just be straightforward and honest and come out on Raw and say, "We're changing our name cuz of a legal battle." It's truly one of the few times lately that the WWF, um, WWE is at least being refreshingly honest with it's audience.

The "Get the F Out" thing is cute. It does sound like something everyone will like and then in two months, they'll say "OKOKOK we get the joke. Stop shoving it down our throats," though.

It's gotta be their best slogan since "Attitude" anyway. I mean, "Get it?" and "Desire" were much gayer.

1. 94 Wins and NL East Title by the Mets this year
2. Hate the Braves with a passion
3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year
4. Mets win World Series
5. Hopefully come up with a better name for the Crack Commitee than something the Mad Dog came up with. Come on!
