World Wrestling Entertainment can't call their company WWF because of the World Wildlife Fund. But, would calling a stable within a company "WWF" be acceptable? It may be on shaky legal ground, but it could just work.
It'd be a great two-fingers to the WWE, wouldn't it? They could even go all nWo on us, spraypaint the title, and start calling it the WWF World Title.

I'm pretty sure WWE could still sue and win over it. I would go with "The Federation", personally.

I know full well you weren't referring to it, but some politically-correct hypochondriac would surely get their undies in a knot about a wrestling promotion based in the Southern US having a stable name that sounds very close to "Confederation". |

Hah. Awesome idea... go to the Panda and license WWF from them to use? I'd imagine you could.
Not that I know the details about the settlement between the two companies... but I would be led to believe Titan/WWFE (At the time) pushed for a clause that prohibited licensing of the WWF name to outside companies that could be mistaken with their product. Granted, it was Titan/WWFE's fault that everything went wrong on the original settlement,so who knows.
And I love how they used to say that the big issue was WWF.com... which while it may have been, Panda let it expire and it goes to a placeholder site now.

TNA catches enough flak for their use of just released WWE wrestlers. This would make things even worse. And most importantly that is exactly how the nWo started out as well. Two wrestlers from up north coming in to invade WCW. Can we just stop recycling the same storylines from the last fifteen years and move on?

A WWF invasion would probably be the thing that would take TNA to that "next level" they've been trying to get to.
Provided, of course, that they're actual animal enthusiasts from the World Wildlife Fund, seeking to destroy TNA for thier mistreatment of animals. Then a PETA stable would debut and make it seem as though they're going to feud with the WWF stable, but then they join forces to form an unholy alliance to destroy TNA once and for all. All of this would lead to the debut of..."The Animal", Batista, and a "final showdown" PPV called "Animal Rights" (which replaces BFG next year). And yes, it will feature Hulk Hogan versus an actual live panda.
IF YA SMELLLLLLL......THE BUYRATESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Why would they give free advertisement to their compition? Is bad enough that it was a poor mans wcw(in it's latter days) it would be aweful to be a poor mans wwe. If you don't beloved me look at impacts ratings.

I actually like this idea. Which is odd for me, as I usually don't like TNA referencing Vince or WWE. |

I get the feeling that there would be too much legal headaches from this.
