Christian vs. WWE; "Captain Charisma" on a pole match

Credit: PWInsider.com

As mentioned on PWInsider.com earlier this week, WWE and Christian Cage could very well end up in court over who has the rights to the name "Captain Charisma".

According to papers filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, WWE is opposing William Reso's (Christian's) applications to trademark the name "Captain Charisma" for "goods and services relating to professional wrestling".

WWE's claims is that their contract with Christian included a stipulation that, with the exception of what was agreed upon as being "Old Intellectual Property", that any ring name or nickname used by the wrestler during the time Christian was under contract is the property of WWE. Captain Charisma, which first came into use while he was under a WWE deal, is not listed as "Old Intellectual Property" according to WWE.

WWE also states that the agreement with Christian included the stipulation that any ring name or nickname used while he was under contract is owned in "perpetuity" by WWE, even once Christian's contract with WWE expired.

WWE is claiming to be the rightful owner of the "Captain Charisma" mark, and that Christian's attempts to trademark it will cause "confusion in the marketplace" and that WWE will suffer damages if he is allowed to trademark it.

According to a document mailed out on August 10th, Christian has forty days from that date to respond to WWE's opposition of his attempting to trademark the name.

I tend to think that after a long time, WWE will seem to forget about trademarks and the wrestlers can go in and grab them. Will Reso should have held out a little longer.

I thought the term "Captain Charisma" belonged to some old man in Georgia or something and Christian/WWE needed his permission to use it.

Unlikely. It's one of the only ways they can dominate the market.

Anyway, I think people are blowing this out of proportion, as is the tradition of the wrestling fan. This will likely not turn into a legal battle. Contestations rarely do. It's not the same as suing someone.

So settle people. All he has to do is climb that fifty foot ladder, grab that solid steel briefcase, and then make it down from that same eighty foot ladder. It's no big deal, just a 100 foot ladder.

We all know Christian's history in Ladder Matches, so I'm sure that that 150 foot ladder will be no trouble for him.
