WWFE may be sued | for using the "ECW" trademark
word on the wrestling news and rumors sites is that the wwf may be sued for using the ecw brand name on their programming.

y'see, wwf never bought ecw, and supposedly, the only reason they had been using the name on wwf television is that someone convinced vince mcmahon that paul heyman owned the trademark.

but he doesn't. it's rather messy, too. y'see, when ecw filed for bankruptcy, a company named "HHG" bought it, but apparently, paul heyman himself owns 40% of this "HHG".

and supposedly, even if the wwf bought the ecw trademark, they wouldn't legally be allowed to use it on television for an undefined period of time. although, that wouldn't necessarily stop them from doing it anyway.

i think the easy way out of this is to truly merge ecw and wcw into one company.

now, right off the top of your head, you might say "sure, call it ecwcw!".

well, that sounds nice at first, but what would "ecwcw" stand for? "extreme championship world championship wrestling"? that's not gonna work.

i propose "EWCW".

Extreme World Championship Wrestling.

and just to keep the ecw flavor from being overwhelmed by the overpowering presence of the wcw name, i say do the logo in the old "EC F'N W" style, like this...
