I think the only one they're not allowed to show is the scratch logo for some reason.

You can have the old logo, just not the scratch.

No they are allowed to use the old WWF logo. The scratch logo is not allowed. Also they can't use the initials WWF. They just use that logo for DVD's.

Me and my buddies have watched a lot of WWF/E DVD's over the past year, and the following seems to be the rules that they follow: * The WWF scratch logo is always blurred out. * The classic WWF logo is allowed to remain, although they did change even the classic logo for the current "WWE legends" logo that we see. * They can say World Wrestling Federation all they want, just not the initials WWF. * Apparently Hulk Hogan's theme song was ALWAYS Real American, even in the days when he used the Jimi Hendrix song. My senile memory tried to tell me otherwise, but the WWE revisionist royalty-free history set me straight.  |

Thanks everyone; I did not know that. If that's the case, could they edit the classic logo into the corner of the screen in Attitude-era footage instead of just blurring out the late 90's logo? It'd look a hell of a lot better IMO...

I understand the lawsuit, I guess. But why can they never show the WWF logo in the past as it was before the dispute?

Why does everybody care so much about what entrance music a guy uses in a video that's years (to decades) old? It just doesn't make sense to me, since I tend to turn off entrances in the wrestling games and fast forward through longer entrances in matches anywyas... |

It wouldn't be as bad if the music was well in sync with the cowrd, and commenataters. Its always blasting way to loud. |

I was walking past this women's clothing store with my girlfriend in the mall the other day and I swear to god they had the WWF panda logo on a t-shirt. Who the bloody hell buys that shirt??
So I thought to myself, "Hmm, I could set the building on fire". [/Milton Waddams]

The same reason people complain about Sandman not coming out to "Enter Sandman" or New Jack coming out to "Natural Born Killaz" on the ECW DVDs......... yeah i don't know either. Seriously, they could just cue up their stereo if they really want to. |

What the hell did the World Wildlife Fund get out of this anyway. Does anybody associate WWF with them? does anybody care about them?

Because it's part of the history of the character and event. If Randy Savage came out to a generic rock song instead of Pomp and Circumstance, it would be distorting that time period and character. A theme song is just as much a part of the show as the match is. Imagine Steve Austin coming out to Red Rooster's music. Probably not going to bring back any nostalgic memories for people down the road. |

Well different strokes for different folks, for me personally I'm a huge fan of wrestling themes, so yes it does matter if a person comes out with a completely different theme from which they had previously. Doesn't matter as I have already gotten most of the wrestling PPV's while they aired live, but that's my answer on it, to you it may not matter but to others it does. |

I hope like hell that eventually they reach SOME kind of deal with the panda loving hippies to be able to show the scratch logo. During that era the damn logo was on everything! that's a lot of blurry spots! But I doubt that will happen. Not while Vince is in charge anyway. and I also hate the changes in theme music. |

Because they feel like actually turning a profit? Do you realize how much money Metallica wanted from Vince to use Enter Sandman? I don't remember the exact figure but I remember that it was completely outrageous. And if I remember right, ECW didn't pay licensing to anyone and then only started paying Metallica some sort of fee when they started doing PPVs but once again I don't know the exact details. I just remember Paul saying one time how Sandman jumping to WCW hurt him personally because of the money he spent to be able to use Enter Sandman on PPV. |

A theme song is just as much a part of the show as the match is. Imagine Steve Austin coming out to Red Rooster's music. Probably not going to bring back any nostalgic memories for people down the road. Testify. Theme music is a part of a wrestler's overall image and presentation. If WWE doesn't want to use the original songs (And I understand why they wouldn't as far as cost goes) I say they should just not have intros. Just cut them out. When I watch a movie or listen to music from a certain era, I want the exact version I grew up with. It kind of wrecks the nostalgia for me otherwise. As an example, WWE 24/7 recently played WCW Spring Stampede 1994, and EVERY song except Flair's was altered. And the replacements were absolutely terrible or didn't fit. Like Rick Rude for example came out to Jamie Noble's original redneck theme! And don't even get me started on Todd Grisham overdubbing Michael Buffer (seriously). |

To be fair, you know what it costs to have anyone say "Lets get ready to rumble" or a variation thereof (even DX's Lets get ready to suck it) without his precense and approval? $10,000. Now, would you, as a business man, pay $10,000 for a Rick Rude match?
