In a new partnership with the World Wrestling Entertainment Inc, the board game will feature 22 of the federation’s Superstars as properties on the board, with the stations replaced with the WWE events; WrestleMania, SumerSlam, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series.

 

The board game will also include six custom collectible game tokens, while professional wrestling promoter, Vince McMahon will feature as the face of the Monopoly Money.

 

The game will be released across the US this week and will retail for $39.99.

 

 

Awesome. Vince's face being on the money is fantastic

WWE goes to court and asks for an injunction giving them the right to seize bootleg merchandise being sold within 5 miles of the Superdome. The filing doesn't actually name anyone or show any evidence that somebody's committed a crime yet, but WWE asks if it can have the ruling in advance of the possible bootlegging and then it'll give the name if and when it sees someone and seizes the merchandise.

I work in telesales and today got a Thomas Billington in Leigh, Lancashire pop up onscreen. It was an answer machine though.

 

I had a similar situation today. I had a call from a Mr. E Langford. The call was going fine until I called him Mr. Langston.

Surprised that sort of thing isn't already covered by trademarking and copyright infringement.

It is covered. The point is that the way works, you have to find evidence somebody is bootlegging, then start suing and get a court order to stop them. WWE wanted to have a blanket order that would let them seize stuff themselves, then go to court to make their case. Had their request been granted here, they'd have effectively had the legal right to go up to anyone selling wrestling stuff anywhere New Orleans, grab their stuff, then not have to show it was breaching any trademarks until later.
