WWE has continued its effort in trying to shut down the www.bigvanvader.com website in what the company has stated is in direct violation of a trademarked name they now own after signing Leon "Vader" White to a WWE Legends contract. WWE originally contacted the hosting company for the site and got it shut down until the owner, Brian Cooper, was able to get it back up. Cooper has noted that it is only a matter of time until the website is taken down again.

WWE's advertising campaign regarding the return to the USA Network on October 3rd is in full form in New York City with poster ad's of John Cena (as The Champ), Triple H (as The Cerebral Assassin) and Torrie Wilson (as The Covergirl).

Joystiq.com made a brief mention of the WWE's new policy in banning wrestlers from playing video games backstage at events. To check it out, click here.
