And especially when Vince is ocmpletely in the wrong, and could have prevented this situation. Its like people ignore the facts, which I hate.

Alienoid pretty much said what I was going to say in response to your first post. Its about getting your ducks in a row. You dont want to go into a battle without a gameplan, well unless youre a President of the US. So to me, and I'm no legal expert either, but think its perfectly reasonable to take 2 years to get evidence together in order to go into a lawsuit like this one.

In terms of timing, I dont see why thats an issue at all. They are suing up until the time the WWE switched their initials, so its not like they are benefitting from waiting, or that the WWE is being hurt, its just for whatever reason they picked now as the time to go forward. I remember when this first story broke they were saying they would sue for millions, maybe hundreds of millions sometime down the line. So its not like the WWE didn't know it was coming, and I'm sure they've been taking the time to build a strong defence, just like WWF has been building their offence.

Also, someone brought up 1963 or whatever, the lawsuit only dates back to when Vince signed the original agreement to stop using the name WWF outside the US. Which I believe was the early 90s (sorry I'm too lazy to look it up). So that would be when the damages could be seeked from.

As for the rep thing, I didn't even know how that stuff worked until like a month or two ago. I'm glad people "respect" me here, but its more meaningful to hear people say something in my defence rather than having a bunch of annonymous dots under my name.
I agree 100% with you. Time isn't really an issue when you have the legal rights. Waiting is just a matter of when the WWF is ready to take the issue to court, and when they have actual precise documentation of damages, etc.
