3) New WWE Trademark
On January 4th, WWE filed for the trademark “MSK”. As of writing this, it is unclear what “MSK” will be used for.
Here is what the trademark filing is for:
“IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment
My Take:
- This is the usual filing for a new Superstar name, so that could be what “MSK” stands for. We will have to wait and see.
2) Daniel Bryan Pushing For More NXT Call-Ups
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Daniel Bryan has been pushing for more NXT call-ups on Smackdown.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
Bryan in particular with his role in creative has been pushing to bring in more NXT talent to Smackdown to freshen things up but the counter has been the track record of everyone brought up in the last two years from NXT and how Vince ends up losing interest in them and that there is a roster full of guys who could be used that aren’t even on television now.
My Take:
- I am so happy that Bryan has some creative say in WWE. He seems to have a great mind for the business and has a good eye for talent.
