I don't know if this was brought up or not but did you guys notice on Smackdown last week when they brought in Nattie Neidhart that when they showed Jim Neidhart's videos, they didn't blur out the WWF logos. Are they allowed to show them now? I might have missed out.

why is it that they can still show the block and not the scratch?
I have pondered this for a while now.

A small oversight. The next time you see them, they will be the new WWE logo.

I believe that the classic block logo was agreed upon under one if the original agreements between the Fund and Vince and, that is why they can show it (as well as say World Wrestling Federation).

The only logo they cant show is the Attitude Era scratch logo, dont ask me why.
Also, didnt John Cena wear the old-school block logo on his wristbands for a pretty long time?

World Wildlife Fund approved the classic WWF logo and WWE continues to show this symbol in video clips, etc. The Wildlife Fund never approved the scratch logo. WWE apparently agreed not to actually say "W-W-F" nor write out the letters. They were only to use the logo. This created a problem when WWE used the domain name "WWF.com." Also, WWE announcers and wrestlers constantly said "W-W-F." This was how WWE breached their agreement with the Fund.

It was my understanding that the Wildlife Fund's biggest gripe was the WWF.com domain name. It pisses me off and makes me think they did it out of nothing but spite because they haven't done jack-shit with the domain name. Go ahead and click it! www.wwf.com |

It pisses me off more that Vince and Co couldn't have just said the long name and called the website Worldwrestlingfederation.com and moved on. It's pisses me off in the way that KFC is legally just KFC, and Washington Mutual is officially WaMU. Acronymns are great, just don't f with the real name. |
