I thought they could in the US at least as it was only enforced or ruled in the United Kingdom. The only reason they changed it was for international marketing purposes as the UK is their largest market outside of North America.
At least that's how I understood it.

Don't even care any more. After over a decade, I'm used to it.
If they changed it back fine, if it stays like this forever fine.

The World Wrestling Federation just sounds so boss, especially from Howard Finkle. However, I got used to wwe. I say keep it as wwe since it has been 11 years and such. I just want those blurred footage out.

I heard on youtube that if they make it WWF wrestling can be good again, so I'm all for it. I heard on Youtube that they'd also have to bring back the Attitude Era and Hardcore Superstars like Batista, Chris Masters and Heidenreich who were all real wrestlers unlike these gay's like Daniel Bryan and Cm Punk

Technically the initials no longer stand for anything since 2011, I think? And I have a question from another thread that is relevant here... What IS the situation now with what logos WWE can use and when? For a while, they were blocking just the scratch in pics and footage, then the scratch AND block in pictures only, then both in both, now in footage they can use all the logos and the initials "WWF," yet in the magazine and some footage and promos for Classics on Demand, all logos are blurred or altered. Why did they change the rules in the first place, and why does it seem to keep changing thereafter? Last July, WWE reached a settlement with the WWF and the wrestling company is now permitted to use any of its former logos and the "WWF" initials in pre-existing, historical footage. This includes both verbal references to "the WWF" and the initials in on-screen graphics, i.e. "WWF Champion Steve Austin." However, WWE can't use its former logos to promote any new products. Hence, why the most recent Old School Raw used the "retroized" WWE logo (the old block logo with the F chopped off) and why the Attitude Era DVD cover had the splotch of green paint where the "F" would be. WWE Magazine has been reprinting classic covers as part of its 30th anniversary and for any cover pre-May 2002, they use the altered block logo I mentioned earlier. BUT...it wasn't always like that. They used to have free reign to use the unaltered block logo whenever they wanted, it seemed...remember the first old school Raw? And classic pics and ads reprinted in WWE Magazine used to have unaltered blocks while censoring the scratch. Like I said, it was some time in 2010 or 2011 when they started to alter/blur EVERYTHING, and to censor the block too, or replace it with the Word Life "W".
