TAKEN FROM UPWIRE!

***********************************

The World Wildlife Fund have brought forward a £50m lawsuit against the WWE for accidentally still carrying WWF branding. Fight!
The long-running battle between the panda-hugging World Wildlife Fund and the bear-hugging World Wrestling Federation came to a sticky end earlier this year, when the Wildlife Fund won the right to use the WWF logo, and forced the Wrestling Federation to change its name. Duly, they complied, and changed their name to the slightly less snappy World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and changed all the old WWF branding on existing games, merchandise and other products. Or so they thought.

The World Wildlife Fund has demanded that THQ withdraw the first PlayStation 2 SmackDown game WWE: Just Bring It from sale, due to it acidentally still carrying the WWF branding. Needless to say, the bods at WWE aren't too happy about the WWF's requests. "The Fund is using a United Kingdom court to block the sale of WWE video game products for Christmas, a Grinch-like move to deny wrestling fans around the world the opportunity to receive these products as Christmas gifts," said a World Wrestling Entertainment statement.

Now, don't get us wrong, but isn't a £50m lawsuit against some accidental branding a bit... harsh? After all, you'd think the people at the World Wildlife Fund would have better things to do than aggrieve wrestling fans of their favourite games. Maybe save a few animals? Something like that? Perhaps you better get hold of your Platinum copy of WWE SmackDown! Just Bring It while you can, and why not grab a copy of the fourth SmackDown game, WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth for good measure.

So far, the request from the WWE that The Rock and WWF president Prince Philip settle their differences in a GREASED UP CAGE MATCH!!! has not been answered by the World Wildlife Fund.

***********************************

Damn them Panda hugging animal lovers. Why can't they just give it a rest. If someone says WWF SMACKDOWN, you're not gunna think of two animals fighting it out. If someone says WWF, you instantly thing of World Wrestling Federation. This is beginning to bug me now.

I knew Ali G would say something he would regret.

When this all started I had the idea of 2 out of 3 falls match between between Vince and a panda. The first fall would be in a Panda cage. The second would be a street fight. And the 3rd would be in a mock courtroom.

yeh bet it was. instead of babling on they should go and hassle other companys. or they should change there name. if i remember i think wwf wrestling was out before wwf wildlife. but i could be wrong. so i say wwe should now sue wwf for stealing there name so wwe get all there money back plus a little extra *rubbs fingers together vince mcmahon style* cash. they should change there name to WSCTGMMTBSSWCHMAABHLF (rather long but none the less)), we sue companys to get more money to build safaris so we can hold more animals and be happy little f¦_¦Cks.

Anyone watch the Ali G Show when he was talking to a couple of environmentalists guys? It was ages ago, but it went something like this:

Environmentalist: "You see, what the WWF are doing is looking after our environment and the anomals that live there, and they need the money to fund it."

Ali G (looks very confused): "So what...they saving the animals as well as doing the wrestling now?"


The looks on their faces was classic! :D
