10 Things You Didn’t Know About WCW Halloween Havoc

10. WWE Have Tried (And Failed) To Trademark It

As of right now, World Wrestling Entertainment still haven't managed to legally trademark 'Halloween Havoc'. The promotion do own the rights to prior Havoc events, which are shown on the WWE Network library, but the patent on the name still eludes them. This past Summer, the juggernaut applied for the rights to the Halloween Havoc name, but they're still waiting. Many fans likely assumed that Vince McMahon simply swallowed up all of WCW's event titles upon purchasing the ailing organisation in March, 2001. It appears that only some of the event trademarks were included, which explains why WWE have to apply for trademark on them in 2015. Further to that point, the company have been trying to secure the rights to the name for years. Does this mean that WWE are looking to run their own Halloween Havoc event sometime in the near future? The title does have a kid-friendly ring to it, which would sit well in the current 'PG Era' the promotion are in the midst of. One remarkable constant with Halloween Havoc was the big production values, something McMahon and his talented team could work wonders with.
