Really? Not only are we rehashing two month old ish, but that was part of the trailer.

Figures Donnie'd be impressed. As Paul Orndorff once said to Mean Gene (RIP legends both), hey I know it don't take much to impress you.

BTW shouldn't AXE be chiming in? Since they were the first to comment on it.

The logos are somewhat similar, but they are adding the "Together" part of the video trailer to attempt to show it was stolen. Courts will sort it out, and lawyers will get paid.

Worse case scenario, the XFL has to go back to the 2020 logo and The Rock can start wearing his old XFL weight belt again.

That is misleading though to tie the trailer to the actual logo. What, were they waiting for Amber Heard's legal team to become available?

At best they've got a case against the marketing strategy. It isn't like Disney signed a deal with TogetHXR (then again maybe that's their complaint)

If the shoe fits, Donnie (but we've already got one of those).......................

And there is nothing there with the one thing that can tie the two gone. All this is is "MegaSue" (like what I did there?) brand advertising, and their hope is perhaps since we just came off (although maybe not) the Seinfeld of legal cases they can get some play there.

In the real world this would be laughed out of court, but since we're so far removed from the level that the bar is buried somewhere in the subfloor all bets are off.

Yes they did. Seriously, what did the word "Together" bring to the table?
Fan of the XFL from the beginning. You may remember me from the original XFLboard.
