WWE not allowed to use "Ric Flair" name
 

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (April 3rd), due to an on-going legal battle with Jim Crockett, WWE can no longer use the trademarked name 'Ric Flair' from this point forward. Until this matter is settled, the WWE-trademarked name, 'Rick Flair' will be used.

hahaha

losers

this explains the "Rick Flair" on Raw

PWND!

And by "PWND" I'm sure I mean "You were Apirl Fool'd!"

Is this legit? If not, I seriously smell an April Fools joke.

who cares, really

woooooooo sorry lol

Is that... *Sniff*............. DOODIE!

I'll change you in a minute, Joe!

Due to an ongoing legal battle with Disney, Flair will no longer be able to "take anyone's old lady for a ride on Space Mountain."

Michael Eisner was quoted as saying, "Get you own ride fat boy, WHOOOOOOOOO!!!"

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! If this is true, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

cant be true cause flair talks in his book about owning the rights to the name

Rick Flair is also taken

Next week on RAW, Dick Flair makes his debut

... Which is also taken, so they will rename him Dick Mountian.

that is also taken

next options is to call him "The White Haired Treasure Troll"

Which will then be replaced by Mantits Mcgee

And finally, he'll land on RICHARD THE DICKHOLE FLAIR FLAIR RICKY FLAIRBOAT, which would NOT be trademarked by ANYONE in their right mind.

Great post, Xero Limit 126!

Call me retarded, but I actually wouldn't mind it if they called him "Ricky Flairboat".

I hope you are joking

Isn't it obvious this a joke?!

I was talking to Alienoid.

Also there might be some truth to this name change. It's possible WWE already took care of the issue.

YOU. ARE. RETARDED.

I did. Just in case I ever broke into the business.

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (April 3rd... two days from now), due to an on-going legal battle with Buddy Landel, Ric Flair can no longer use the trademarked bleach-blonde mullet from this point forward. Until this matter is settled, Ric will be expected to wear a black flock-of-seagulls wig.

You people really don't understand just how angry this made me. Really. I am not joking. A had to quit the internet for a while and watch a movie.

As for who is behind all this, it is most assuredly Jim. David is on good terms with the E and has taken part in various docs that WWE has put out. Jim still isn't over the fact that he had to sell out to Turner in 88. This is just him lashing out at Vince for raiding his talent and going after Ric because Ric said what he said in his book.

They may call him simply as Flair or Natch

You guys, wake up. It isn't true. Check the date.

Of course it isn't, but the date doesn't prove anything. I believe the Observer mails out their newsletter a few days in advanced. Could be wrong, but that's how most magazines/newsletters work.

TODAY'S date!!! April 1st!

NO FUCKING SHIT!

I'm talk about the 3rd, Monday, which is what their newsletters are dated I would imagine.

I KNOW IT'S A "JOKE", HIGHLIGHT MY FIRST REPLY!

I know!!! Man, we got our wires crossed here!

I said look at today's date, and you assumed I meant the date of the "newsletter".

Nevermind... lol

Xero: I'm insane remember?

THIS JUST IN!!!!!

Tajiri: Damn-a you, Hassan! You fool us, AGAIN!!!

Duh?

Hey, what happened to that guy who had that alien cum Jeff Hardy avatar?

Just for anyone thinking it's an April Fools - It's not. It's totally legit.

I can't believe Flair doesn't own his own name still. What a tool.
