Edge & Christian posted:How/why would WWE sue on behalf of Sid Vicious in 2004-2005? All that comes up for this is an unsourced line from a Wiki, but Sid Eudy also appeared to have zero interaction/contact with WWE between 1997 and 2012. Surprised they didn't try to sue when Brock dressed up as the Yetay.

I have not read anything about this but I am going to guess what is going on. Most schools have mask requirements that say if you are eating or drinking, then you can have your mask down. Kids are using gum to be constantly “eating” something.

Kind of a weird case used to drum up hysteria for political reasons. (based on my 5 minutes of googling) quote:A Jane Doe and her parents have filed a new lawsuit against Knox County Schools asking them to ban chewing gum and eating in classrooms. The case was filed because Doe allegedly has a medical condition that makes it hard for her to hear the sounds of chewing, according to court documents obtained by WVLT News.

He's just trying to make a fuss over the fact that two different groups hired the same lawyer to sue the school over unrelated things which is a fairly normal thing because lawyers take money to represent cases.

Thanks for the info. I now wonder if my daughter has that. She gets very upset and anxious when we eat without the tv on because she says that she can hear everyone chewing.

Drakkel posted:I dunno the exact details, but I'm guessing they probably owned the Psycho Sid name/character and that's what their complaint was over. Supposedly that's why Brock Samson was less of a blatant psychopath from the second season on. Sid Eudy would probably be considered a Public Figure and VB would be safe in parodying him in the same way that VB gets away with parodying David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Christopher Lambert, etc. directly or you could have a comedian pretend to be Hulk Hogan or Stone Cold Steve Austin on a sketch comedy show. Even WWE has done this, with "Barack Obama", "Rosie O'Donnell" "Bill Clinton", "David Stern" etc. appearing on Raw. It is also how VB (and so many other shows) are able to do thinly veiled parodies of GI Joe, Batman, Jonny Quest, Scooby Doo, etc. etc. etc. without being sued. If the argument is that Sid Eudy, who hadn't been on television in a couple of years and was mostly retired from wrestling in 2003 is NOT a public figure, then making him a mass murderer who is generally calmer in seasons 2-up would not really change anything? I also don't know if "has mullet and muscles and is often VERY angry" versus "has mullet and muscles and is seldom SUPER angry" is legally distinct in any way, on top of the question of why people would immediately jump to assuming Brock Samson is a parody of Sid Eudy. If you want to go from the WWE perspective of them "owning" characters like Diesel and Razor Ramon as the lawsuit against WCW went back in the late 1990s, I don't really know how that would work either. The only way that lawsuit had any legs was that Kevin Nash and Scott Hall had never portrayed characters similar to Diesel and Razor outside of WWF, and those WWF characters involved them changing their ring names, style of gear, hairstyle, accessorizing, accents, etc. to become 'new' characters separate from Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Crucially, the other part of the lawsuit was that WCW was treating the "invasion" of these "Outsiders" in a way that suggested that two (initially unnamed) WWF characters were appearing on a WCW television program without being explicitly named to give the impression that WWF was involved with the show, creating "confusion" in the market. The odds that anyone would see Brock Samson and believe that this is real life professional wrestler Sid Eudy (who had not appeared on WWE programming in five years) had turned himself into a cartoon to fight for Venture Bros while still portraying the the WWF character Sycho Sid seems incredibly unlikely. The difference in markets/industries is also why Sid Eudy was able to wrestle as "Sid Vicious" despite there being trademarks actively maintained into the early 1990s by Glitterbest/Malcolm McLaren for "Sid Vicious", since it was incredibly unlikely people would mistake Sid Eudy for the deceased member of the Sex Pistols. Similar lack of confusion explains how Sting and Sting were both able to maintain careers over the past 40 years, though Steve Borden has maintained a trademark on "Sting" for use in professional wrestling since 1995. To go back to WWE, they had Sid Eudy wrestle for two major runs, one as "Sid Justice" and the other as "Sycho Sid", both presumably because while at this point they weren't quite as trademark-happy as they are now (they never seem to have applied for trademarks for either alt-Sid name) but they had already run afoul of Marvel Comics for promoting "The Incredible Hulk" Hogan and maybe wanted to play it safe with someone they at least briefly saw as their "next Hulk Hogan", so let's just change the name before Malcolm McLaren comes complaining. That said, compared to Razor Ramon or Diesel or The Undertaker or etc., I can't think of anything besides the name that makes "Sycho Sid" or "Sid Justice" recognizably different from Sid Vicious as he appeared before/in between/after. He's still a giant man wrestling in tights with a curly mullet who often gets angry. And again, Brock Samson is not named Sid, he doesn't wrestle, doesn't dress like Sid, and is a cartoon. I can't imagine how or why WWE would take note of or send any threatening letters to a late night cartoon show with under a million viewers or could demonstrate any sort of marketplace confusion between that and a wrestler None of this is to say that WWE can't just be wildly and extrajudiciously lovely, they definitely can. But it seems especially silly and frivolous. And in the giant Venture Bros artbook they spend pages discussing various motivations for characters evolving, and this never comes up, or anywhere else besides again, an unsourced line in a Wiki.

Can Danhausen curse physical objects as well as people? Imagine the chaos that would ensue if he cursed the world championship belt, and various champs tried to appease him to lift his curse.
