IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: 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 wrestling and sports entertainment personality; Entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a professional wrestling and sports entertainment personality; Entertainment services, namely, televised appearances by a professional wrestling and sports entertainment personality; Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Providing online interviews featuring professional wrestling and sports entertainment personality in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment for entertainment purposes

The application was filed on 27 January 2022.

Austin and brother Colten have been tormented with the "Ass Boys" nickname by Danhausen, which goes back further than the very nice, very evil new AEW signing's debut on last week's episode of Dynamite. The nickname is, of course, a reference to their father Billy's legacy as Mr. Ass in WWE.

Here's what Austin had to say on the application:-

it’s true, we did file to trademark this

so we can take legal action in the future if anyone decides to refer to us #AssBoys you thought we were kidding when we said we would sue you… this is proof that we will destroy your life (legally) if you continue to call us this https://t.co/wLCNaCoRym

Danhausen, meanwhile, recently helped put a new "Assboys" theme together with Colin Young of hardcore band God's Hate and the Two Minutes to Late Night team:-

Whether or not this will ever make it to AEW television remains to be seen.
