When we look at the amount of lawsuits that can be levied by anyone ON anyone for just about anything these days, I'm not surprised that this happened.

However, it's equally ignorant to call other people "marks" because they don't agree with you 100%.

First, let me just say that no one is in any way saying that we should revolt by shitting on the situation with enviroment. Some groups actually do sincerly care about the wildlife, and more power to them for actually caring. Kudos to them.

With that being said, and being said that I've been hearing all about this situation since 2000, the World Wildlife Fund is turning out to NOT be one of those people who really care about the wildlife, but about the almighty dollar. The WWE has done whatever they could, I would agree, to end this situation with the WWF. But the WWF still pursist in getting their money.

Now I'm not going to say that Vince shouldn't pay up if there were damages financially, but can we look at this realistically for a minute, please?

For one, this could've been made in the first lawsuit, not two years AFTER that lawsuit was won. It could've been included in it.

Secondly, the timing of this, I agree, is severly subject to controversy, no matter HOW you try to slice it. Bottom line is that they pick NOW to do this instead of earlier, when they were perfectally able to get their money when the WWE changed their name, and if Vince didn't pay, they should've filed this two MONTHS after it happened, not after two and a half years.

Third, if they can get away with actually filing this lawsuit NOW and still be able to get their full asking sum (which I doubt they will get because they waited this long to do anything about it at ALL), imagine how else they could get money. Would they be able to sue US for using the WWF name for anything other than the Wildlife Fund? Would they be able to go after anyone who even thinks of using that name for anything else in the world other than them in the media? It wouldn't be too far fetched in this day in age, where you can have lawsuits against fast food chains for making people fat.

The WWF is making every other wildlife organization out there have a bad name. Their sort of like the PETA of the wildlife world (which makes only half sense since theiy kind of have the same listed intentions). Maybe if the WWF actually CARED about helping the wildlife more then how much they got from something so stupid as this (they are the only ones who really give a shit about it), they would be twice as successful. I wonder how many members of the WWF actually cancelled their membership because they continue to probe it on and on and on, without any signs of stopping, changing their minds, or budging in the very least. It seems that nothing that the WWE is doing to solve this makes the WWF happy.

It has nothing to do with us being ignorant to the accusations being brought upon by this lawsuit. We can all READ, so we all know exactly what it means. That's not the issue here. We're sure as hell aren't STUPID. It's the timing, the delay to file it, and just the fact that they keep this going this long. It won't help them any to continue to harm the WWE (Linda, one of the more trustworthy McMahons, I believe, said that they never had any intentions of harming the WWF in any way, but the WWF is doing everything in their power to harm them, no matter what they try to do to please them).

I wonder how much that certain guy's rep went down for calling all of us marks because we didn't agree with him.
