What ever happend to Sharkboy

[Destor]

suing the people who made Sharkboy and Lava girl?

[Dorkchop]

He wrestled on Impact tonight.

[Destor]

Thanks. You really helped.

[Xero]

I don't know, but he'll probably tank because of the sharks that Sony have.

[Petethegeekstreet]

He probably got laughed out of court for showing up in his gear.

[Chavo Classic]

He's been implicated in Steve Irwin's death

[Destor]

You only get half of an :lo smiley. Funny, but with a screen name like that I just cant support you.

[Crippla]

I still say he should get it changed to "Oooh Chavo".

[Kane Knight]

The movie came out, despite the injunction he proposed. After that, they just stopped reporting the news. I don't know, but I'm betting he lost.

...Or he lost the license in a "Shark tank from Hell" match.

--EDIT-- This is what Wikipedia alleges.

"On June 8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_8), 2005 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005) Shark Boy filed a lawsuit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawsuit) against Miramax Films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miramax_Films). Having trademarked (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark) the name "Shark Boy" in 1999 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999), Shark Boy claimed that Miramax's then-latest release "The Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava Girl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Shark_Boy_%26_Lava_Girl)" infringed upon his trademark, and demanded any "money, profits and advantages wrongfully gained". In November 2005 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2005) it emerged that Miramax had attempted to have the case dismissed, in addition to requesting that the court nullify Shark Boy's trademark on the basis that "Plaintiff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaintiff) is a male whose services are rendered only when he is wearing a costume depicting 'shark-like' attributes." Shark Boy was scheduled to attend a court hearing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_%28law%29) on January 5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_5), 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006)."

Sorry it ain't more.

It would help if Wikipedia was more accurate because I know for a fact Shark Boy trademarked his name in 1997 not 1999.

[M-A-G]

He's jobbing on Impact where he belongs. Who cares about some movie lawsuit?

[Destor]

Can't a guy be curious? Wtf?

[M-A-G]

You can be but be prepared to be ridiculed for it. ;)

[M-A-G]

Sorry, it's more of a Shark Boy insult than a knock on you.

Veeeeeery good. Hence "alleges."

So Wikipedia's right from the legal stance in this case. He filed it, according to their records, in 1999.

Well done Kane Knight

[Crippla]

I'm sorry, I really was sure it was 1997. I've seen it say 1997 in a lot of places.

Stop being a stupid douche.

[Just John]

I didnt know sharkboy went so big, the first (and last) I heard of him was in some wrestling magazine that had an up and comers section, you know, like "You may want to watch out for: ____" I saw a pic of sharkboy and thought "Ridiculous"

What was he in?

[Kane Knight]

I'm sorry, I really was sure it was 1997. I've seen it say 1997 in a lot of places.

He's claimed the first use of it was in 1997, but that doesn't mean it was trademarked then.

[Crippla]

He's claimed the first use of it was in 1997, but that doesn't mean it was trademarked then.

Yeah, that's probably what I was thinking of.

[Just John]
