WWE reaches the end of the censorship chain
Also, during a commercial break, a man in the crowd was asked to remove his Austin 3:16 football jersey by security because it said "WWF" on it. He was given a Royal Rumble T-shirt to wear instead. That goes to show you how seriously WWE takes keeping the "WWF" letters off of their TV. ... Thanks to James Cohorn for the Smackdown report.

LOL
I think everybody going to Wrestlemania should bring out the retro tee's. That would piss them off. |

You know, considering they can't be sued for Helms' Green Lantern tat, I'd suggest this may not be the primary reaon....

Wrestling, in general, is a joke. You either like it despite that, or you don't.
You really can't call an industry founded in carnival trickery and the actual following it engenders without some heavy irony. |

Actually, I'd wager some people like it because of it, not despite it.

YOUR Hero's obvious sarcasm aside, I can't be the only one who's noticed that their reason it utter bullshit, can I?
There is no way WWF could nail WWE for that. If A mob of fans came out with WWF scratch T-Shirts and started chanting "Fuck the Pandas! *clap clap clap*" in the middle of a PPV or on cable, there would be nothing they could do. |

Even signs, I doubt. And they would lose. The fans are not directly endorsed by WWE, so there's no market confusion.
Again, I cite Hurricane's Green Lantern Tat, which he showed off and pointed at on TV. I don't think he's done it as Helms, but as the Hurricane, he did it numerous times. DC couldn't go after that, even if they wanted to, and that's an actual wrestler. T-Shirts, signs, chants... |

I have an idea, how about we all get WWE shirts and go to the WWF headquarters and laugh.
