Hm, guess I'm not the only one.

We do seem to agree on one main point, and that's that the courts are going to make the final decision on whether the use of the initials damaged the Fund in a way that WWE should monetarily compensate for. I fail to see how that's the case. You can give me as many hypotheticals as you can think of, I just don't see that it happened. I know a lot of people who never knew the Fund existed before the initials settlement that forced the name change, I can't see how that would have been any different if McMahon had called his company WWF, WWE, UDC or ICUP. If some judge decides otherwise, so be it, but don't make it out like right and wrong is decided by courts. I'm not denying that Vince is responsible for this situation, I just consider the Fund to be assholes for continuing to throw a five-year-old's fit until they get paid for it.
But you miss the point of them having a signed contract when you boil it down to "The Fund is throwing a fit". Thats crazy talk. They had a signed agreement, Vince went back on it, so they sued, and got them to stop using the initials. Now, some time has passed and they have put together a lawsuit based on the damages that was caused during the period Vince was using the WWF initials. Thats totally reasonable. Whether they win or not, is a totally different issue that we would look dumb talking about because (I assume) we know very little about the legal matters involved and whatever damages the Fund are claiming.

So, to me when you say it like the Fund is just looking for a pay day its ignorant because of the FACT that Vince went against the signed agreement he had with them.
