Day 161: The Real WWF Logo
I was born in the 70′s and grew up watching WWF. Not this WWE they have now. With there multi-threaded story lines or their flashy video montages. The way you used to push the story back in the days was a one on one interview with the man Mean Gene Okerlund. Brother! That’s how you tell a story.
When I was still playing the NES, way before CD players, Playstations and Lisa Turtle ever appeared in my world, I lived for wrestling on Sunday afternoons. If the wrestling gods were appeased, I was blessed with the arrival of Saturday Night’s Main Event. Which to me was pretty much the greatest thing a kid wrestling fan could get. Well next to getting Wrestlemania Tickets. (a feat I have yet to accomplish)
On these rare Saturday’s I would have to beg my mom to let me stay up late just so I could watch it… or wait til she fell asleep and sneak into the living room and watch it anyway. (Sorry if you’re reading this mom… I’m not the saint you think I am 0:-)
FlashForward 15 or so years and WWF is getting Ric Flair slapped (woooooo!) by the World Wildlife Fund for rights over the WWF title and website. At the time I figured there’s no way they could lose… But looking back at history, those animals turned out to be stronger than Animal (Road Warriors… look it up.) So to pay homage to my nostalgic mood. I present to you a compromise of sorts. A newly imagined amalgamation of two WWF’s This is the all encompassing, unified WWF logo. Enjoy. Please and if you get a tatt of this please send me a pic!
