Brooks consented to the Trademark, according to the listing at uspto.gov. See, a lot of guys wrestled under their identities prior to WWE, and have signed away the rights to use it as part of their deal with WWE.

It's kind of like your right to remain silent. While you have that fundamental right, if you waive it and say something, you can't go back and un-say it in court simply because it's used against you.
