Ryback shares letter from WWE of them threatening him

[FunkDoc1112]

Nah, they’re gonna go for something that screams trying way too hard to sound cool, like how they call McIntyre the Scottish psychopath

WWE has the WOAT nicknames and you know they're 100% Vince too. Always some bullshyt no human being would use in a real conversation.

The thing about this is that Ryback is his legal first name. I'm pretty sure they can't keep him from using his legal first name to promote himself.

shyt, even "The Big Guy" might be too vague and general to protect in this manner.

When did he legally change his first name to Ryback?

Looks like ryback can’t properly read a contract.

Sounds like he's dumb as fukk

A lot of wrestlers smartened up and started using their government names on social media. You can’t be running around using your wwe gimmick, even if you created it, after you get released or your contract expires and not expect to get hit with legal docs.

Unless you wanna go full retard and change your shoot name legally into your gimmick name. Even still you’d have to go to court to show proof.

He legally changed his name to Ryback years ago for this very reason.

He legally changed his name to Ryback years ago for this very reason.

But it was more than likely AFTER the WWE already owned it.

I can change my name to Big Mac, doesn’t mean I can start selling burgers that are called Big Macs

Not that I’m siding with WWE but just setting the tone that changing your name doesn’t always give you legal precedent

 

[Brad Piff]

I doubt his legal name had already been changed to ryback when he was running around as skip sheffield lol

This is why you brand all you social media accounts with your real name when you're on with a big company, because after you leave you get jobbed out to legal teams like this.

One thing tho, that letter he posted doesnt seem to be from when he was employed by WWE but rather after he had left and was still using social media accounts with names and handles with a trademark that WWE own, which is different to WWE requesting social media passwords of its employees. The two are not the same thing. If i was WWE or any other pro wrestling company i would send Ryback the same letter, whats the point of owning a trademark and gimmick if i allow people to continue to utilise it after they leave, im not protecting my trademark and as a result every other trademark i own is in danger as other wrestlers will start using gimmicks online and in rival promotions and cite the ryback case as a defence.

In Law you can also lose rights to a trademark if it is proven you never made sufficient effort to protect it.

This is the Coli. Do not use logic.

I noticed he still uses the name. He cant and shouldnt unless he pays out to get the rights. Thats why Kenta, Uhaa Nation, Tyler Black, Jon Moxley, etc etc etc never wrestled for the WWE
