WWE? WTF?

I used too be a hardcore WWF fan a long time ago, but I stopped watching it 2 years ago cuz it was hard too keep up with, and I felt like it wasted my free time, and it started getting boring too...Now I was skimming through channels, and I saw the name of the show was "WWE Sunday night Heat"...at first I just thought it was an error, but than I saw the logo had changed too just a W instead of a WF, but I still wasnt sure, but than I heard the anouncer saying WWE , and I was like WTF? I mean WWF is what everyone knows it as, its what people have always called it, and probably still will...I mean its a legendary name, how can they just change it?
Soooo...I was wondering why the fuck did they just change the name from WWE too WWF? Was it ordered to be done, or did they just want too do it...?

"Mrs. McMahon said the company began considering dropping the word "Federation" from its name when World Wildlife Fund (a/k/a World Wide Fund for Nature) prevailed in a recent court action in the United Kingdom. The court ruling prevents the World Wrestling Federation from the use of the logo it adopted in 1998 and the letters WWF in specified circumstances. The "Fund" has indicated that although the two organizations are very different, there is the likelihood of confusion in the market place by virtue of the fact that both organizations use the letters WWF. The Fund has indicated that it does not want to have any association with the World Wrestling Federation. Therefore, said, Mrs.McMahon, we will utilize this opportunity to position ourselves emphasizing the entertainment aspect of our company, and, at the same time, allay the concerns of the Fund.
man ain't that sum bullshit?

Why's that fucked up? the Wildlife fund was made years b4 the Wrestling Federation, therefore the wrestling company was brakinf the copyrite law by refering to themselves as the WWF coz thats what the wildlife fund has always called themselves. So hows it bullshit? it's just the same as when sum1 gets sued in the music bizness for copyrite infringment.
but years ago when i liked wrestling, i rememba being in my dads car driving through wigan and saw a building that sed WWF on it, (must have been a charity shop) and i was convinced it was a wrestling arena, dispite the picture of the panda next to the letters WWF! (u've all seen a WWF window sticka wit the pic of the panda) lol...it's funny looking back!

McMahon said on that HBO show with Bob Costas that there is still an appeal pending.
I doubt the appeal will work or why else would they go ahead and "Get the F Out"?
