WWE Trademarking Wrestlers Move Names?

By Scott Keith on 20 September 2017


Has the WWE ever tried to trademark wrestlers move names? For example, I've heard announcers from other wrestling companies refer to a "Tombstone- Piledriver" or a "Pedigree" Kind of weird that they haven't seeing as they do with names and characters. Any idea?

They absolutely trademark the shit out of move names. And if they catch other companies doing that, you can bet they'll get a letter about it.
