Having them blur out logos and mute the word "Federation" as if any of that never existed is the problem. It really mucks up the presentation. Business agreement, yaddayaddayadda, they deserved to get screwed, yaddayaddayadda and all that crap... that's out of the scope of the intent of this post. I don't care about national recognition, or any of this nonsense...I just care about revisionist history through video. Can't WWE just argue "This was done before the result of the suit and was documented as such"? That's all I'm saying.

Well, again, this only happened because of the decision to piss over a good faith agreement.

They brought the end result upon thesmselves.

By the way, if you want more confusion, the WWF could argue that anything of a time pursuant to their violation of the agreement would still be subject. The WWE would then have to go back and prove what was before the agreement was breached (not before the ruling). This would create a split where some products would then be okay, but some wouldn't. Is this any better?

That is, of course, assuming that it even got that far. re-airing old WWF matches will still create market confusion. That's the funny thing with agreements...It's the same reason they're suing Marvel for the rights to use Hulk Hogan on their On Demand service. It's an all-or-nothing sort of deal. If you lose the rights, you tend to lose all rights past and present.

In my mind, what it comes down to is me totally not caring about the F or blurred out crap. It's punishment handed down by a court because Vince flew to close to the sun. It won't, in any way, impact upon the matches themselves, it won't make the past storylines any worse, it's a minor nuisance at that.
