If it was over either copyright or trademark, it’d still be a petty thing to do because they own neither thing. If they copyright issue was over the Bucks using a logo that was very similar to that Kliq shirt (I'm sure WWE owns that artwork) then it wasn't petty and something they are entitled to send a C&D over. He wasn't fired taking a picture with people from another company. AJ Styles took pictures with Bullet Club guys after the Jacobs incident and nothing happened. Styles, Owens and Zayn made multiple cameos in older episodes of Being the Elite and nothing happened. Woods and Omega have done videos together and nothing happened. Jacobs was fired for taking a picture with guys from another company while they were outside of WWE's arena as part of a publicity stunt that included filming a video that took potshots as WWE's business. That's the big difference and something that will get you in deep shit just about anywhere. |

Who cares if it iwas created outside of the company, they have the guy who created it. He has as much of a right to it as anyone. Which is, of course, why WWE said "Yes, please, Dudley Boyz. You created this gimmick in ECW, you are the ones who innovated it, please call yourself Bubba Ray and D'von Dudley in TNA." (And let's ignore that even that working by WWE's own rules and history they have zero rights to the gimmick which is 100% owned by NJPW hence why they get the bulk of the money from Bullet Club tshirt sales, half the original members of the Bullet Club are still working in NJPW.) They didn’t call themselves The Dudleyz, but they still acted like The Dudleyz. They aren’t calling themselves The Bullet Club, they are The Balor Club, they are just acting the same as when they were the Bullet Club. There is no difference in what you are saying. This isn’t WWE ripping off NJPW. This is three guys doing an act they originated. And their version of it isn’t even similar to the current NJPW version. They act nothing like the Bullet Club/Elite. WWE just mentioning these guys are the ones who started Bullet Club is not them ripping off NJPW. That just seems like people looking to pile on WWE. |

don't worry t-shirts for the "Ammunition Pals" are being designed as we speak to immortalize this wwe created faction, who have teamed together in the past!

Again, it's do as we say, not as we do. It's alright that they're talking about BC like this, but it's still not a good look if they wanna keep throwing shade at the Club. Thankfully, all the participants are good sports about it, and they know there's a lot of money to be made on both sides doing this.

Personally, I don't have any real issue with it, but it didn't really work when they tried to the do the same thing with AJ/Anderson/Gallows. My problem was the "too sweet" reference at the end which felt like a slap in the face to the current Bullet Club considering the C&D on "too sweet". |

Ok, but is this all really reek of desperation as it was painted as in this topic? Or was it more "hey, this three midcarders are spinning their wheels and we know throwing them together will catch people's attention, especially after seeing the reaction to the Balor/Styles match." Their reaction to Balor/Styles was “Feed Balor to Kane”. By that logic, that makes it more likely to me this was cashing in on Bullet Club. If it was over either copyright or trademark, it’d still be a petty thing to do because they own neither thing. And can you name me a company that in their social media policy, something WWE does not have, that would have you fired having a picture with an employee for another company? Because I have never seen that happen and I worked for a large entertainment company that did not have that as a rule. |

I don't mind it, them and Tama Tonga with Fale are the real Bullet Club. The elite are just wack pretenders.

The fact that a 71-year-old man still makes decisions for a company that likes to think of itself as pop culture-savvy is mind-boggling. A 71 year old man who, by all accounts, has always been completely unaware of pop culture. Fun fact Vince had no idea what the simpsons were. |
