Idk why I'm shocked by people's stupidity but I'm incredibly surprised by the amount of people posting what HHH stands for as if they're laying down some little known knowledge only a few people know and must be really smart to gain the knowledge.
Id bet it was WWE that sued him, because its likely they own The Game trademark for clothing and merchandise. Seems reasonable since they paid for it thay they would protect it.
They can't own it, it's a simple phrase, and courts have ruled you can't copyright simple phrases. I mean, his song is literally the game by MotörHead sođ€·ââïžđ like how taco John and taco bell can't copyright "Taco Tuesday" any place can
â@expressiondestination6430 "The Game" is not a phrase. It's a name, more specifically, a stage name for a live performer. They 100% could copyright it and did. Motorhead did make that song, but they were also asked to do that by the company, paid royalties for it and it was used as Triple H's entrance theme for the remainder of his career.
While he probably owns the rights to Triple H and also the nicknames relating to the character such as "The Game" and the "cerebral assassin" now I doubt Paul owned them in 2004/2005. This was a Vince move. I could also see them not copyrighting "The Game" as an oversight and that's why the rapper was able to keep it
â@@MrDeadsras a wrestling nerd, i remember when this happened in the mid 2000s when game came out. Triple H and wwe already had the rights to the name "The Game" i think thats why he goes by just "Game" now

It probably wasn't hunter. It was WWE that sued or at least attempted. "The game" is a WWE trademark but with trademarks if you can prove that the way you use it is not the way the plaintiff uses it, it's not really an issue

@@user-mt4ks4su3m you're really in your feelings. This has nothing to do with him having more money than a man or a man's family. We're talking about a rap name and if it is a cool name to have. It aint that serious
Triple H nickname is the game. The Game is the rappers actual stage name. I never once thought of Tripple H when i listened to The Games music. Its only now i put it together.
I remember this That was back when social media wasn't even a thing. It was blogs and magazines... 50 Cent and Aftermath had to step in to come to agreement to use the name. That's why Triple H started calling himself around that time. The king of kings, if you're old enough or you was around, you know, and you remember.
Triple H has no right to sue him, as long as he's not in the wrestling business. Even if he was in the wrestling business too, it would be hard to sue him over the moniker, especially considering that one man is black and the other is white. If they were both called The Game, there would be ZERO chance anyone would be confused who was who just by the color of their skin.
I remember years ago the story was the other way around. Game was trying sue Triple H over it. Iâm sure if we look on here weâd actually find a few vids on it.
*WWF sued for the name, they owned the trademark not Paul Levesque, he is an actor, he was playing a role, thatâs like saying Daniel Craig sued me because I called my self 007 when the name on the suit was MGM studiosâŠ
I sold dope for 5 years and never got caught. Just stayed low key. Joe was right when he said maybe thatâs just his perspective cause I know a few successful drug dealers that didnât get caught and living good now. Your experience is never gonna be the same.
I read somewhere that The Game wanted to actually fight HHH for the rights to the name The Game. Obviously, he realized HHH would absolutely violate him and let it go.
You know, use that name like the wrestler- you know, the one whoâs a top star for the multi billion dollar evil corporation helmed by a guy who shits in the hair of his employees. *surprised when he gets sued*
