WWE 24/7 has been airing Prime Time Wrestling episodes from 87. In the background of the arena are banners of Wrestling Challenge and Superstars of Wrestling. The Superstars of Wrestling banner is blurred out, though it doesn't not contain the acronym WWF. Does anybody know why this might be ? Does Vince no longer own the copyright to the name Superstars of Wrestling ?

AWA owns it now. The new AWA, not the one Vince owns.

I don't see why Vince can't buy the name from the new AWA. I never seen the new AWA, but they are probably just a third rate independent promotion.

Nah, he just doesn't want the word "wrestling" advertised, or associated with his company.

Maybe because he is in a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Dale Gagner (the "owner" of the new AWA) over the AWA name. Basically, they hate each other. |

As far as he's concerned, the WWE is the "Standard Oil" of wrestling - the all-seeing monopoly that's putting everyone out of business. |

The WWE/WWF thing was a disaster, because it prevented Sky from showing "WWF/E Classics" on Sky Sports.

They keep going at this rate and everything on the screen except the wrestlers will be blurred out.

Getting back on topic, to answer the original poster's question, the person responsible for creating that specific logo for WWF's "Superstars of Wrestling" show took issue a few years ago with them using it and prevented them from doing so. It has nothing to do with AWA, as I understand it. Why would it?
