Unless Vince McMahon brings it back as a show, no. WWE, Vince McMahon, owns the copyrights to WCW. He bought the company when they were going under. Nobody can use those letters or trademarks, except WWE.
WWF (World Wrestling Federation)'s name had to be changed to WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) due to a lawsuit by the World Wildlife Fund for use of the initials WWF.
WWE was founded as the Capitol Wrestling Corporation in 1952 by Roderick James "Jess" McMahon, and Joseph Raymond (Toots) Mondt. Jess McMahon died in 1954 and was succeeded by his son, Vince McMahon (Sr.) In 1963, Vince Sr. changed the name of the company to the World Wide Wrestling Federation. In 1969, Vince McMahon, Jr. joined the company as a commentator. Vince Jr changed the name of the company to World Wrestling Federation in 1979. In 1980, Vince Jr. became owner and Chairman of Titan Sports, Inc. and bought the WWF from his father, who would pass away in 1984. In 1999, the WWF went public, although Vince still holds almost 90% of all shares in the company, and in May 2002, the WWF becomes WWE.
He bought the company from his dad, and went from there.
He has never denied being the owner!
WWF Wrestling
Vincent Kennedy McMahon or Mr.McMahon created wwf he has always been the chairman. 80% sure. Actually it was Vince's grandfather that started the company, then vince's dad took over then Vince.
