Adam Copeland was a busy man on 1 October, not only debuting for AEW at the Tony Khan-helmed promotion's WrestleDream event, but filing four trademark applications forecasting his wrestling future.
Copeland used a company called Wet Yeti Inc. to file trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the terms 'Ledgend', 'Iconoclast', 'Cope', and 'The Rogue.'
'Ledgend' and 'Iconoclast' are "... intended to cover the categories of bandanas; Hats; Shirts; Socks; Sweatshirts; Hooded sweatshirts."
'Cope' and 'The Rogue' meanwhile:
"... cover the categories of entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; Entertainment services, namely, live appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainer; Entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainer; Entertainment services, namely, televised appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainer; Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Providing online interviews featuring a professional wrestling and sports entertainment personality in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment for entertainment purposes."
Copeland debuted for AEW on the day his WWE expired, 1 October, confronting old tag team partner Christian Cage to close WrestleDream. His first Dynamite appearance has been confirmed for this Wednesday.
This is the first time Copeland has worked for a non-WWE promotion since 1998, when he first joined Vince McMahon's market leaders.
