Even though the World Wrestling Federation and World Wildlife Fund have shared the same initials, it is easy to ponder what would've happened if the longstanding environmental charity was greedy enough to take Vince McMahon to court.
DBWI: WWF changes to WWE
- Thread starter OldNavy1988
- Start date
Most likely a shorter Attitude Era. 1997 to 2005 were some of the best years in wrestling history.

There will be no WWF-to-WWF cooperation, where WWF Wrestlers actively involving themselves campaigning for Wildlife preservations (and still donated 20% of their profits to various Wildlife sanctuaries even to this days).
Yeah, that WWF-to-WWF was opened by the infamous "Panda Suit Wars" to raise awareness of Avoiding Antropochene extinctions of wildlife (of which many memes were spawned), but who could disagree with such cool logo like this?

I'd say the longevity of the Attitude Era had nothing to do with the absence of some hypothetical lawsuit that never happened. Rather, it was more to do with them knowing what to do during the integration of WCW wrestlers into WWF territory. The revival of Nitro on Thursday Nights as a hub for old-school style and in-ring talent meant they could more contrast the "cutting edge" of Raw. We'd never have current/future Hall of Famers like Christopher Daniels, Air Styles, Monty Brown and CM Punk, and I dare say that the main event careers of guys like Christian would never have taken off either
The title of this thread confuses me. WWE? What the hell would that have stood for? World Wrestling Entertainment? That sounds ridiculous.
One thing is for sure, it would have allowed Vince to regress the product to the days of Hulkamania, rather than the hybrid of the Territories and New Generation mixed with Stu Hart ''Cyber Era'' we got from 2006 till 2012. The whole Family Friendly, Heroes vs Villains dynamic never truely returned until 2014.
Could you imagine: John Cena NOT being the Doctor of Thuganomics?
I think is Enterprises, to show that is a business and not the panda fund. Again luckily both solved the issue with cooperation and WWF(panda) getting the .org website domain.
Of course no, no one remind the prototype anyway(i'm old), Doctor of Thuganomics is what saved Cena career and put him over
Such a strange time for it to return as well, without a major face of Raw orthe ability to build one up. So many failed top guys, from Drew Galloway to Leakee (great worker, stupid name), to Rey Misterio again, and most recently to Curtis Axel(?????), whereas the writing team on the Thursday brand seems to understand that the way to make a top face is to listen for to whom the fans best respond.
Blame Vincent overmeddling, at least Shane is good enough keep his dad out from Nitro and he is good enough just censore the most insane ideas(of course, he never censore his own spot anyway), and the move to FOX helped Nitro a lot, more creative freedom that USA as they not want a controversy...AGAIN
Galloway like Leakee was victim of Vincent not knowing what to do with them, and Leakee was too comical at times with his look(i know they wanted to play a friendly Samoan but...his looks allow a more serious characther)

Agreed. Never again with Kurt Angle, sexual predator. Just everyrhing for Kurt after Hogan came back ruined him, jobbing him out in 5 minutes, feuding with Edge over a shampoo commercial that ended with his head being shaved, NOT having him work with Brock Lesnar.
Ugh.
Seriously WTF, why even vince thought would be a good idea, at least edge idea was comical, stupid, but comical..that was justWTF.
Without the precedent of individuals standing up to ngos to rally people we might have seen silicon valley going managerialist-center left instead of from the 00s on intensifying it's "unique", 90%* social issues version of libertarianism. Perhaps this is an ATL where US politics remains more moralized/culture wars prone, or at least having one of the two big parties stay moralizing.
Gay marriae sometime this decade instead of in '16, only 5 states with legal weed instead of 20 and no Brown v. Oklahoma establishing that IP addresses are not evidence in either civil or criminal cases. Maybe there'd be a patriot act in ttl's 2020/
* Except for ending legal tender and money laudnering laws

You've got to admit though, Bald Kurt was a great look for him
In math, this would be called 'two sets with no union'.
No one using WWF in reference to the Wildlife Fund in conversation or print is going to be queried with "Do you mean the World Wrestling Federation?", and no one using WWF in reference to the Wrestling Federation in conversation or print is going to get, "Do you mean the World Wildlife Fund?"
Just look how many different things the initials 'ABC' stand for
Fighting over initials is like fighting over titles. They should not be allowed to have a copyright. (Titles cannot be copyrighted in the United States)
It's ridiculous!

My thoughts,
If you are going to go back and watch, DO NOT SKIP MONTY BROWN VS. SAMOA JOE. While the main event was Galloway vs. Tanahashi and that was okay, I did not expect Monty Brown to pick Joe up, do the BURNING HAMMER, THEN DO A SHOOTING STAR PRESS to win.
