Growing up a wrestling fan, I came across many misleading “WWF” ads. My excitement at anything wrestling related was soon followed by the crushing disappointment that I was reading something about animals. The story goes that in 1994, Vince McMahon reached a settlement in court that the initials “WWF” belonged to the World Wildlife Fund. McMahon, perhaps building for his “evil boss” character he would soon become famous for, ignored the agreement, and went right on using “WWF” like it was going out of style. Turns out it eventually did. Aside from a short term as Nigerian Foreign Minister in 1983, Chief Anyaoku spent 34 years with the Commonwealth and held the positions of Director for International Affairs, Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General.
A native of Ireland, Neville Isdell joined The Coca-Cola Company in 1966 in Zambia. In 1972, he became general manager of Coca-Cola Bottling of Johannesburg. The Coalition sees development opportunities in a low-carbon climate-resilient economy, and stand ready to support it. They are committed to taking action individually and collaboratively, engage the Vietnamese public on the opportunities and urgency, and work constructively with the Vietnamese government to identify and put in place the policies that will allow subnational and non-state actors to help the country meet its climate goals. WWF is one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations, with over 5 million supporters and a global network active in more than 100 countries and territories. WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the Earth's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by conserving the world's biological diversity, ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption. http://www.panda.org/climateandenergy In 2002, a court ruled that the wrestling company was in breach of said agreement, thus was born the WWE. McMahon handled this transition smoothly, as ever since the WCW became a serious competitor, McMahon had been adamant that he wasn’t in the “wrasslin” business, but in the “entertainment” business.
