    Actually, there had been a legal agreement in 1994 for the usage of WWF which Titan sport violated and a British court found in favor of the World Wildlife Fund (Now World Wide Fund For Nature). The exact details of the breach elude me but as far as recall it wasnt that the initials were being used but that Titan sports were actively marketing under the assumed trademark of WWF rather than explicitly under Titan Sports or World Wrestling Federation.

    Thats how I remember it going down anyway.
