WWE Files Trademark For Another Former WCW PPV

Only days after filing to trademark 'SuperBrawl', WWE have filed to trademark another former World Championship Wrestling pay-per-view in 'New Blood Rising.' WWE filed to trademark the term on July 3. 

WCW New Blood Rising was held on August 3, 2000 and it was such a terrible pay-per-view under Vince Russo's creative direction to the point that Cultaholic Wrestling ranked it as the worst WCW pay-per-view of 2000 in a year filled with stinkers. Infamous matches on the show included a Judy Bagwell on a Forklift Match between Buff Bagwell and Chris Kanyon, a Triple Threat with Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner, and Goldberg that featured Goldberg walking out in a worked-shoot angle after he refused to take a Jackknife powerbomb. In the main event, Booker T retained the WCW World Heavyweight Title in an overbooked match against Jeff Jarrett. 

WWE also filed to trademark 'The Match Beyond' on July 3, which was the subheading for WarGames when the match was first created by Dusty Rhodes back in the 1980s. 

Both trademarks were filed for the following purposes: 

"Entertainment services, namely, an ongoing show about professional wrestling; entertainment services, namely, the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events rendered live and through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing wrestling news and information through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fans; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely, blogs, in the field of sports entertainment."
