Merzbow Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) It's not like the WWE constantly pin the companies turnaround in the 90's on an invasion skit or anything.. Also, did that actually do sweet FA for the company? It was shit. EDIT: Oh, WWE had taken action against the Bucks before that?

What?! That had better surface on the Network! WWE have pushed the Bucks on the "Too Sweet" gesture before - other than having the weight behind them to just put pressure on the Bucks and hope they'll cave, surely WWE don't have a leg to stand on? I doubt they've copyrighted it themselves, and Hall and Nash are on record (even on WWE programming) as saying they nicked it from somewhere else anyway.

Before the invasion, they listed all the things they have had taken (or attempted to take) away from them- including Suck It and Cody's surname.

Tamura Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The BBC should sue over Matt stealing Frank Spencer's expression too. WWE might have actually done the impossible and made me willingly watch another Young Bucks match, since it was their constant use of "Suck It" and "Too Sweet" that made me skip their matches in the first place. Call me old fashioned but I prefer matches where the crowd reaction is a bit more traditional than chanting "Suck It" 200 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfoote Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 There's an old adage about letting sleeping dogs lie, not poking a hornet's nest, not headbutting a Samoan etc... Bravery beat stupidity in this one. Did the YBs really think that goading WWE to "do something" was going to turn out well? Now their bluff has been called and they're getting all pissy about it. Trademark law aside, you stick your business in Vince's face, he's gonna bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) I believe they can tell you to stop doing the "Suck It" and "2 Sweet" catchphrases, but how can they implement a ban on doing hand gesture? Nobody owns that shit. Gene Simmons just the other month tried to do something similar with the Superfly hand gesture, and was laughed out. You cant own things like that. It'd be like trying to trademark being absolutely dull. Cody Rhodes may have perfected it, but he cant claim ownership of it. WWE should have just let the Bucks get on with it. Chances are they'll end up there eventually anyway. Showing up outside WWE doing the DX gimmick is hardly the worst thing in the world.

Paid Members Tommy! Posted September 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 28, 2017 I just can't believe the bullet club is still a thing when the most noteworthy person involved is apparently Cody Rhodes mincing about and trying so hard to look cool and not look a right nob it's painful at times when I have seen him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) The Ring of Honor version of Bullet Club is and always will be shit. Kenny Omega leads the NJPW version. Edited September 28, 2017 by TildeGuy~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 All the other cease & desist stuff was just story. Now they have an actual one will they make it story. If anything gives the Bucks a whole new range of shirts with the hands changed on them that fans will buy up to support. They won’t do too badly from it. Now they just need to find the guy in the bar in Germany that Bret copied it from originally and get his view on who owns it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that ever go anywhere? Yep - settled out of court, but in DDP's favour, if I remember correctly. They won't be able to stop the Bucks doing the hand gesture, I wouldn't have thought, but if WWE can prove ownership, they'd be able to stop them merchandising it - and it's all over their T-shirts and whatnot. But what would the logical outcome of that be? Bucks quickly sell of all existing shirts cheap, design a new one, all their fans buy that too.
