Bischoff Responds to WWE Cease and Desist on Beefcake
Eric Bischoff has responded to WWE Letter on Cease and Desist on Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake’s name on his website.
So, “Big Bad Billionaire” Vince and his high power lawyer wants BHE TV LLC to cease and desist from using “Brutus The Barber Beefcake” within our show “Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling” on CMT (for the story go to: http://www.tmz.com/2008/11/23/wwe-wants-to-shave-beefcake-off-brutus/
I won’t go in to the legal aspects of the case, but suffice to say that we received the letter from Vince’s lawyer in early November and responded accordingly (and continue to use Brutus The Barber Beefcake).
Prior to receiving the letter, I got a call from Brian Knobs who informed me that Vince’s surrogate Johnny Ace called Brian, who hasn’t worked for WWE in a decade, and threatened him not to go near any WWE talent or events as no one who is associated with CCW will ever work for WWE again. Then I found out that Jimmy Hart, one of the hardest working and loyal people I have ever met, was told he was no longer going to be used for WWE promotions because of his association with CCW, even though he asked for and received permission to do our show! As we subsequently learned, Vince went ballistic after viewing an episode of CCW and ordered Johnny to make the calls. To finish reading his respnds, GO HERE>>>>>
