Torrie On Magazine Cover, WWE Facing Lawsuit Over 'RAW'
Posted by Tim Brown on 06/29/09
-- Torrie Wilson and JBL are featured on the cover of the July 2009 issue of Muscle & Body magazine. You can see the cover at this link.

-- Muscle Flex issued a press release today stating they are poised to file a lawsuit against WWE seeking damages over the use of the "Raw" brand name in Canada.

Muscle Flex claims they have a trademark right to the brand "In the Raw" and claims WWE has caused confusion in the marketplace with its use of "Raw" to market products.

From their press release: "Muscle Flex Inc. is in the process of exploring any and all remedies with regards to damages and past trademark infringement by the WWE in connection to their unauthorized use of 'RAW' in Canada."

Muscle Flex says they "successfully defended" their trademark right to "In the Raw" in June 2008. The Canadian Intellectual Property Office ruled that certain items in WWE's trademark application were "confusingly similar and thus lacked distinctiveness" from MF's registered trademark. The file on that particular ruling is expected to close in July 2009. d Jeff always had great matches vs big men. I've wrestled Nash, but never in a 1-1 setting and never in a storyline angle. He's def at top of my list!
