WWE's most recent legal threat.   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1148 of 1415 |
Here's another legal threat WWE has made to someone, it's perhaps
the craziest of them all.

WWE's legal department sent a letter to TNA recently that demanded
that they not call their talent "wrestling
superstars"or "superstars" in public or on commentary as that is a
WWE trademarked term, at least WWE believes so. At this time, Bill
Banks, webmaster of TNAWrestling.com, has been scrambling to change
all "superstar" comments to "TNA star" or "TNA wrestler" on the TNA
site. Many backstage in both WWE and TNA see this as being
completely petty on WWE's part, not to mention childish.


Apparently, the plan to make Heat and Velocity exclusive in America
on WWE.com was a last minute decision as WWE had plans to cancel the
programs. However, WWE had international commitments in which they
are contractually obligated to fulfill and thus they chose to keep
the shows going. At this point, WWE has no plans either which way to
cancel or further the shows once their international contracts run
up. WWE officials are looking at the traffic the shows bring on
WWE.com to determine if they are worth continuing or not.
