Acronyms, schmacronyms.
The two businesses aren't in the same market, thus there should be no market confusion. The name of the company doesn't matter...now, if the Fund was a competitor of the Federation -- maybe there would be market confusion. However, assume a prospective constituent of the World Wildlife Fund was asked about giving to the "WWF" and he or she replied "you mean, the wrestling company?"....they'd have to be on crack or extremely sarcastic. There would be an offchance that the person would be sincere in said query, but let's think about this... the said "wrestling company" isn't in the business of fundraising. Why would it be? Conversely, a charitable org that raises money to save endangered wildlife isn't going to be hosting pay-per-view wrestling matches anytime soon. (Of course, the off chance that they will could show up, but based on the behavior of existing organizations that are in said business, it hasn't happened yet, and I doubt it will...)
Anyway, once again, the point of this post has been driven off course.
This post is more about WWE editing stuff to suit themselves, than it is about WWE vs The Fund. The only reason I mentioned it is to put a scapegoated face to one of the more glaring problems with WWE home videos as of recent.
I'm getting tired of WWE editing stuff that doesn't need to be edited. On Smackdown (I always watch the show with skepticism, because of the heavy editing that goes on there) as well as PPVs (that's why I'm glad I taped Wrestlemania XX)....but especially in the case where they have to revise history and freakin' blur out logos and mute the word "Federation" as if they never even said it in the first place....
...I know it's kinda anal, but it SUCKS that they do that.
Did WCW ever do anything like this?
