WWE has recently filed for a WCW-related trademark, covering general merchandise use, as per the records of the United States Patent & Trademark Office. This is not the first time that WWE has filed for a WCW trademark, as they have already filed for five active trademarks related to their former rival.
WWE owns several names, likenesses, and content from various wrestling promotions, including WCW, ECW, AWA, WCCW, Stampede Wrestling, and EVOLVE, among others. WWE purchased its biggest competition, WCW, in early 2001, which marked the end of an era in professional wrestling.
Meanwhile, former WCW star and Cruiserweight Champion, Alex Wright, recently expressed his interest in working with WWE again. In an interview with Cheap Heat Productions, Wright mentioned that he would be open to working as a WWE Performance Center trainer if the opportunity arises and if it fits his schedule. Wright, also known as “Das Wunderkind,” was trained by his father, UK wrestler Steve Wright, and worked for WCW from 1994 until it was purchased by WWE in 2001.
Wright, who is now 49 years old, has been running his own wrestling school/promotion and has trained several notable stars, including Giovanni Vinci. Wright left WCW as a one-time Cruiserweight Champion, a one-time World Television Champion, and a one-time World Tag Team Champion, with Disco Inferno.
In other news, an unexpected name recently challenged Randy Orton, and wrestling fans are eager to see how this feud will unfold. For more updates on WCW, Triple H, Nick Khan, and other wrestling news, stay tuned.
