Does anybody know if the Vader name is copyright by the WWE ? Here is an interesting note watch the video for Fall Brawl '93. By the time Fall Brawl '93 came around, Vader dropped the "Big Van" title. Before the match is a pretaped promo with Cactus Jack. The "Big Van" title is muted everytime Cactus makes refernce to Vader.

they did the same thing with some interviews Davey Boy Smith.
I am pretty sure this had more to do with his naming rights in Japan and him having to drop the Big Van..but I dont know the entire story

Davey Boy Smith was still the "British Bulldog" in WCW.

no... I guess I didnt make myself clear, I wasnt saying that it happened to The Bulldog
During The British Bulldog's promos against Vader....he said Big Van Vader like 5 times during the interview and it was muted out on WCW tv...I believe it was WCW Saturday Night that it happened...but I am not sure.

It was because of a lawsuit with a Japan promotion. They also wanted him to get rid of the name Vader but the judge said no because they couldn't own the name because of Star Wars
