Rock Band Violates WWE Copyright, Steamboat Note

- WWE has applied for a new trademark for Sin Cara in Mexico.

- The WWE Supershow on October 1st in Mobile, Alabama drew 3,200 fans for $92,000.

- WWE developmental wrestler Richie Steamboat and his girlfriend welcomed a 7 pound, 3 ounce baby boy this past week, making Hall of Famer Ricky Steamboat a grandfather. The child was named Richard Blood IV.

- Rock band Nada Surf violated WWE copyright on their new album with a song called "Somebody Take the Damn Money." The song was based on the 1983 feud in the Carolinas where Harley Race put up a $25,000 bounty for anyone who could take out Ric Flair. The song included clips from Race's famous promo. They're currently re-working the song to get through copyright issues.

Because of the violation, WWE took legal action and Nada Surf's new album has been delayed.

Man, I like Nada Surf, and would've loved hearing that song (with the quotes), even though I didn't watch the feud.

Seems like they should have checked that copyright stuff out first. I mean it's basic knowedge you just can't use someones shit.

If you don't have it, the feud between Harley Race and Ric Flair has a whole chapter in Flair's first DVD (The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection). The bounty promo is pretty much the first thing you'll see in the chapter after the actual match.
