Edit: For those new to the world of Internet-based-Wrestling-discussions - Kayfabe News is the very long time pro wrestling version of The Onion/The Beaverton/Insert Your Parody News Website Of Choice Here. I was hoping this wouldn’t need to be stated on a wrestling community 🤦♂️
Original:
During a call with shareholders today, WWE executive Hunter Hearst Helmsley announced the company’s new “Get the F back here!” campaign, and unveiled the company’s new logo — an exact replica of its classic shiny WWF logo.
“Nobody ever liked that word ‘entertainment’ except Vince,” said Helmsley, who then listed further immediate changes he is making within the resurrected WWF:
- The term “wrestling” is now allowed again, and uttering the term “sports entertainment” is now a fireable offence
- Wrestlers may wear Zubaz pants if they prefer
- Referees will wear blue shirts and black bowties, like they’re supposed to
- Hyperactive camera zooming is banned entirely
- The big blue steel cage will return
A representative from the World Wildlife Fund said Helmsley “has no legal right to the WWF acronym,” but also said “we’re pretty excited to see where Triple H takes professional wrestling from here, so we’re gonna let it slide.”
So aren’t they gotta get sued again by the World Wildlife Foundation?
EDIT: OK this is what I get for commenting on a post a I saw browsing by New. I used to be a fan back when they did the name change so the story brought back memories. I’m not part of the community. I now watch dragrace instead, which is actually very similar to the Wrestling, just more fashion :-P
