Just for anyone thinking it's an April Fools - It's not. It's totally legit.
I can't believe Flair doesn't own his own name still. What a tool. |

LOL. If I ever became I wrestler, I'd call myself "Dick Trickle".

And for those who still think this might be real, Crockett sold all of his rights library to Vince and the WWE a long time ago, so unless he could prove that the trademark "Ric Flair" was of some professional use to him, which it isn't, then he wouldn't even bother trying to lay claim to it.

And Dave Meltzer, who is one of Flair best friends, reported it like 3 days before April 1st so it's not a joke. |

It's ridiculous, and no court would declare in favour of Crockett, who has no likely use for the name "Ric Flair". |

Also it depends on if someone trademarks the name AFTER someone has used it. So if Crockett trademarked it but Flair had used it before working for him Flair would probably actually get the rights. (I believe that's how it went in the Honkey Tonk Man's case.) |

You could have a Ric Flair in one promotion, a Rick Flair in another, and a Rick Flare in a third. That's why we have The "Manbeast" Rhino and the "Manbreast" Rhyno.And why we have Taz, and Tazzzzzzzzzzzzzz. And why we have so many others. HEll, they even changed the spelling of "DDP" to "DEEDEEPEE" in WWE. ![]() |

You know, when I was younger, I always confused Leslie Neilsen with Ric Flair. Now that I've seen Leslie topless in his appearance on the new Scary Movie ads, the confusion is back.

Well, wasn't it spelled Ric Flair on the WrestleMania show earlier?
It's a prank, I tell thee. |
