The WWE has been looking into trademarking "The Game" for Triple H, and they have been in and out of court with The Game since May regarding the trademark of the name.

I knew this was gonna happen sooner or later.

wow Vince is a joke.... >:(

that "joke" is virtually a self-made BILLIONAIRE. The guy's a fuckin' genuis, but that's a seperate topic.

"Aint no way in Hell!"

Don't think that went to court though, think they let it slide, since it is a common name, like "Sugar Ray Lenoard" and "Sugar Shane Mosley". However I think Vince is paranoid since because of not having the right trademarks, the WWF had to become the WWE, so he's pretty much looking for anything out there that might be remotely confused with any of the wrestlers that work for him.

i dont think too many are confusing HHH with Game.....

I think the World Wrestling Federation never really had chance to keep the name because the World Wildlife Fund has been around since 1961. From what I heard Vince´s WWF was just "allowed" to use the name because obviously the one is sports related while the original one was an organization that cared about animals. Once WWF became bigger - than they were in the 80´s - and moved away from the family entertainment that they were known for in the 80´s early 90´s the World Wildlife Fund just got worried that people might associate WWF with the more sex/violence orientated World Wrestling Federation. I wouldn´t think that any judge would rule for Vince in this case to keep the name.
Game should officially name him Hurricane Game since
a) he wouldn´t have the funds to fight Vince´s lawayers and
b) it sounds better anyway.
-
He wont win for the simple fact that HHH's nickname/alias is The Game. That is not his stage name or entertainer name so it won't hold up.
-
[i dont think too many are confusing HHH with Game.....
I agree, however there may be pockets of people that are Hardcore wrestling fans that might know HHH as "The Game" and could get confused. Vince probably knows that a lot of people won't get the two mixed up, but it all depends on how long HHH has been using "The Game" as a nickname

might be a nickname, but at the same time though, HHH has been with the WWE for longer than Game has been rapping, and for all we know, Triple H might have merchandise from the late 90's that has "The Game" on it. If that's the case, than The Game might be in some trouble because while he may have some money to pay legal fees, Vince has enough money to take this as far as legally possible.
-
The Game can't change his name to Hurricane because there is a wrestler called The Hurricane. ;D
-
Not anymore. HA!
True though. ;)
-
If you wanna be real about this, real real son, WWE came up with that name way before Game was a factor.
I say let Game have his name though....afterall he got it tattooed all over him.

yea, if they take the name he'll just look like a huge Triple H fan ;D

well, he did have a butterfly tattoo on his face and we all know what happened with that...

He should come up with a name like Hittman Hurricane Hustla (HHH) a.k.a The Game just as a fuck you to Vince. But yeah I agree if it ever goes to court he's gonna lose.

Keep in mind that the title of the thread is incorrect, McMahon hasn't sued anybody. When you apply for a patent, people have the right to dispute that patent... the Game applied for a patent, and McMahon is saying "No, you don't have sole control of that name, I use that name on my show". He didn't sue Game, he just disagreed with Game that he was the only one using that name.

Its not a Patent, its a Trademark, "The Game" is not an invention, its a name. just thought you'd like to know ;)

wouldnt surprise me if Vince and his wrestlers will be hosting the next G-Unit mixtape.

I wouldn't say self-made, he inherited WWF from his dad, correct?
-
Triple H has so many names on WWE it isn't funny. He's the Cerebral Assasin, Triple H, HHH, The Game etc. etc.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think he actually bought his dad out. Regardless, he built it up and made the company grow exponentially since he has become the owner.
-
Uhm, I clearly missed out on something. What does Game's "HHH" stand for? And what's the link with the wrestling thing? I don't know a damn thing about wrestling, hence my ignorance, lol.
-
It's supposed to be the initials to his name.. I don't remember it exactly since I haven't watched wrestling since The Rock left but it's something like "Hunter Hearst Helmsly" or something like that.
Wrestinlings website is www.wwe.com

yeah thats his name, he looked like some british gentlemen when he first started wrestling.

gay :-*

Triple H used to be the shit back when I watch wresting. I used to love the storyline of him & Rock battling it out. I remember when Triple H tore that muscle in his thigh or whatever. You could see the muscle ripple.. it was crazy... I always used that example when people said wrestling was fake and their injuries are fake.. that shit wasn't fake.. what was crazy is he finished the match..

^^yup thats how mean he is
-
True! Who'z gonna mistake The Game for Triple HHH?? Newayz. i think dis is all Bull****!! Who care's if they've got they same name!! Jus let him carry on wid makin' his paper! If sum1 has tha same name as me, doesn't mean i'm gonna go sue 'em!!
-
Yea, "Hunter Hearst Helmsley", originally he was supposed to be a posh rich kid who went to private school and shit, then when he joined D-Generation X he turned into Triple H or HHH. J.R (the commentator) was the first guy to call him "The Game", just like he called The Undertaker, "The Phenom", but i doubt very much that theyll be able to secure the rights to that name because like the other dude said, it aint his stage name, if another dude was called Triple H then i could understand...
Although I have known idiots to think i was talking about Triple H when i mentioned "The Game". But thats bullshit, and maybe a little late? The Game (as in the rapper) has been around for a few years now, maybe Vince should of thought about doing this beforehe blew up?
-
He didn't sue him, dumbass.
O.K., lets say somebody's got the same name as you. They go to court to get specific permission to be the only one allowed to use that name in a business sense, and they're the only ones that can make money off that name . Wouldn't you 'oppose it' ? Come on man, stop acting like a fucking child. What happens when Vince tries to release a DVD called "The Game"..? He gets sued because "the game" is trying to get a specific trademark on that name.
Let me break it down again for the children: Vince McMahon didn't sue ANYBODY. Somebody's trying to tell him he can't use a name he's been using for years. He's opposing that idea. That's all.
-
Your sayin' Vince ain't suing no1, then why is dis topic: The Game being sued by Vince McMahon! & u beeter watch who u callin dumb azz!!!
-
I don't think they should make Game change his name...it'd be a different story if Triple H was known just as "The Game", but he's already got a stage name. WWE is just going nuts with this trademarking shit.
-
wow Vince is a joke.... >:(
why? HHH been having that name since 2000 or before that
Game became Game like 2 years ago
I'd sue Game too if he stole my name
-
^HHH has been using 'The Game' nickname since about summer of '99
I had a feeling something like this was gonna happen sooner or later
-
I think that should be HHH's decision wether Vince should put legal action on The Game or not since its his trademark. This is just typical Vince Mcmahon trying to get a little more money that he doesn't really need.
-
the RAPPER GAME should just drop *THE* & just be GAME or try Da Game

It is a nickname none the less...is Ferrari going to sue 50 because he calls himself Ferrari F50? Is playboy suing Banks because he has the nickname Blue Heffner? No. Why? Because your entertainment/stage name can be protected by law, not a nickname you were given.
What about Game records, not going after them eh? Vince wouldnt be able to. They been using Game on a worldwide scale since GTA3 Dropped.

Maybe you should ask (dumb ass) the guy who started the thread and put the wrong fucking title on it. Can you read, by the way? Did you read the link, dickweed?

Child, child, child. WWE isn't trying to trademark it. Game is. Get the picture? GAME is just going nuts with this trademarking shit.

Nobody sued Game. Read again.

1st, it's not to you to judge whether or not somebody has enough money. Second, this is THE GAME trying to trademark a name that isn't solely his. Vince isn't trying to get money, the GAME is trying to get money by getting a specific trademark on a name that Vince McMahon has been using for years.

He's not going after anybody. read again. The GAMe is trying to trademark his name; vince is saying "You can't do that, because I use that name too". Why is this so hard to understand? Vince McMahon did not sue or pursue legal action in any way against "The Game". Read the fucking story, it's child shit that a 5 year old could understand.
Class, today's word is "Oppose". "Oppose" means to be against something. Tommorow's word will be "Lawsuit" which is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT FUCKING WORD
