They can trademark it, yes, and they can enforce it, at least pertaining to wrestling.

The only way someone can get around it is if they came along and it was their real name.

I'm not sure about a legal name change, though. I'm sure it can be tried in court if he changed his name to Ken Kennedy and TNA used it but I'm not sure which way it would go.

You're dicing with a legal name change. It comes down to the courts, though it seems they often side with the name change.

Same with different spellings.

Yeah, didn't it work with Warrior once he changed his name?
