First they laugh at you, then they sue you, then you win.

BWF is a funny name, leverages the WWF name more than a little, and is going to get great press from the legal fight.

Congratulations to BWF for getting sued; you're getting traction. If the BWF network gets large enough, it could be renamed almost anything and it will still work.

This assumes that it's merely an injunction against the name. There's a real possibility of damages being awarded in a situation like this.
