- There was a recent settlement between WWE and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) which allows WWE to use their old WWF logo on footage. WWE made some kind of payment to the World Wildlife Fund. WWE is allowed to use the WWF logo and say WWF over footage as long as it is old footage. For example, WWE couldn’t have a Legend come out on RAW next week, cut a promo and talk about how he used to hold the WWF Title and wrestle on WWF pay-per-views.

At least they can now use their old footage without blurring out the WWF logo, that P*ssed me off.

Agreed, that was so annoying when there would just be blurs galore when trying to watch an old match. There really isn't a problem with it, as I don't think many kids confuse Stone Cold for a Panda, and most people in the world know the difference between the WWF logo and the World Wildlife Fund logo.

Don't see why World Wildlife Foundation was being a snob over a logo. I don't know what to think about it really.
