Another WWE name trademarked, Ultimate Warrior, and UFC vs. WWE
On Friday, September 23, 2005 at 1:46 PM EST WWE recently trademarked the name "Rob Van Dam." According to reports, this move was done with consent from RVD himself.
Copies of the new "The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior" DVD are now appearing in many Wal-Mart locations. WWE has continued to plug the DVD on their website as well.
The September 26th edition of the Canadian Edition of Time Magazine has an article about UFC being the new "guilty pleasure" for many viewers and how much more real the product is compared to WWE's sports entertainment. The article also plugs that Spike TV will be putting on a live UFC event on October 3rd when WWE RAW returns to the USA Network, wording it as "in direct competition with the 'choreography' of WWE."
