From Wresling Observer:



If you didn't think it's on, or that this war wasn't going to be petty, WWE legal sent TNA a letter demanding they not call their "wrestling superstars," or "superstars" in publicity or commentary, because that's a WWE trademark term for its talent. Bill Banks, who handles the TNA web site, is going out of his way to use the term "TNA star" instead of "TNA Superstar".

----------------------

HA!

What next? The term Referre can't be used? Or how about the term wrestling?

TNA should sue WWE for false advertising.

They say they are World Wrestling Entertainment, when there is clearly no entertainment involved. (I'm always entertained, but I know some people aren't so meh.)

Then again WWE could sue TNA for false advertising because whenever Jeff Jarrett appears on camera all of the supposed "Total Nonstop Action" stops quicker than Maven's heel push.

Honestly now, do you REALLY think WWE is desperate? Money hungry, yes, desperate, nah. No offense, the things they are saying can't be used aren't going to make or break TNA... On the other hand, WWE owns the copyright, pays for the copyright, so why should they let someone else use it?

Wait, why does WWE own the copyright to "superstar" anyway?

Heres a crazy suggestion why don’t TNA instead of calling their talent TNAstars or superstars call them Wrestlers. After all isn’t this meant to be a wrestling show.

Nah, the WWE doesn't give a shit about 'Wrestling'... For all Vince cares, I bet he'd be HAPPY if someone else copyrighted 'wrestling' (which isn't possible, but hypothetically)... That way he wouldn't have to use the word 'wrestling' in any way, shape, or form.

Then it would come back to bite him on the ass and he'll have to call every match a 'Sports Entertainment Fight' or something like that.

Vince (into loud speaker): Send a letter to Jarret telling him that TNA can't use the word 'the', as I trademarked it when I trademarked "The Rock". Hell, while we're at it, tell him he can't have a crowd in the arena. I own wrestling fans.

Yes, I REALLY do.

They've been desperate for quite some time in many ways. Pulling out the "old guys" is the prime example. Our guys can't draw flies to a toilet full of shit, so what do we do, turn the clock back 20 years to guys people actually care about.

It's funny how on one hand Vince says they aren't competition [which means you'd have to follow them, otherwise you couldn't say that] - yet he's going out of his way to hinder them in every way possible. It is desperate, when the best you can do to potential competition is hit them with lawsuits over trademarks.

Also, I find it odd that they [WWE] refer to ANY of their glorified independent workers [Snitsky, Masters, Kennedy, Carlito, any of them] as "Superstars". I guess if you sugar coat crap, it might taste better on the way down.

The next thing is TNA can't wrestle anymore because WWE trademarked wrestling.
That's just the thing. At no point does Vince ever call his guys "wrestlers".

So why doesn't TNA copyright it? Call their guys wrestlers, because they focus on the action instead of the "sports-entertainment". Hey if WWE can copyright something as broad as "superstars", why not?

I love how TNA is being recognised as a threat now. We had Jericho's website showing Y2J infront of a giant TNA logo the day after his sacking of Raw, the Dudley Boyz saga and at least five TNA themed signs at last night's Raw.

Competition is good.

But at the same time, Chavo, Vince claims up and down that TNA is surely not a threat. Yet he's treating it like it is.

I mean, sure it could be compared to getting your house sprayed for bugs before they take over your house. Just preventative measures.

I'm going to do my best to make sure TNA is a threat. Whether that's hyping Impact up on the forums to get the n00bs watching or buying as much TNA merch as possible. In the long run, it'd lead to two very healthy federations battling it out for my attention

everyone knows vince thinks tna IS a threat. when vince was on trial in the early 1990's for steriod distrobution and all that other stuff. He named Jerry Jarrett to run the WWE in his absence IF he went to prision. thats a FACT. now, think to yourself: if you would trust someone that much, they would have to know how to RUN a wrestling company. yes he thinks they are a threat.

I know that. But what have the events around the steriod trial have to do with the WWE's changing business strategy to co-incide with TNA's increasing popularity and market share some ten years later?

It just doesn't make any sense.

Cool

From next week I start my new job so I'll have some more disposable income to waste.

it makes perfect scense that vince was willing to hand over the wwe to this man, he trusted him wholeheartedly and knows that jerry knows how to do it. they were friends and knew each other well. now, if im vince and my friend goes out and starts a company knowing him like I do, I would feel at least a little threatened. I would know he's a threat because I know him. thats just my oppinion
