bc there's a corporation called world wildlife foundation. um wwf was first so if they were before world wildlife foundation they should get to keep their name and world wildlife foundation should have to have a different abbreviation.

That’s incorrect- the World Wildlife Fund had registered the WWF trademark long before the World Wrestling Federation ever started using that same WWF trademark. There was a major trademark infringement lawsuit over this and the World Wrestling Federation lost this case.

They were sued for trademark infringement and lost - that is why they had to change their name. The World Wildlife Fund had registered their trademark before the wrestling entity started using “WWF.” I’m not sure whether there was also a claim for copyright infringement, although there may have been.

Correct,
Even though it’s just initials.
Who cares since it’s not really a federation and it’s just some fake gimmick wrestling.
Without strife, your victory has no meaning.
Without strife, you do not advance.
Without strife, there is only stagnation.
