Former WWE Star Files New Trademarks

One of the many WWE stars who were released last week as part of cost cutting measures has filed for some new trademarks.

Looking ahead to his post-WWE life and career, former United States Champion Zack Ryder, real name Matt Cardona, trademarked “Internet Champion” and “Alwayz Ready” on April 21.

The trademarks were filed under the following puporses (via Fightful):

IC 025. US 022 039. G & S: Bandanas; Hats; Hooded sweatshirts; Pants; Shirts; Sweatshirts
IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services, namely, live appearances by a professional wrestling and sports entertainment personality; Entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a professional wrestling and sports entertainment personality; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Providing online interviews featuring a professional wrestler and sports entertainer in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment for entertainment purposes

If you remember a few years back Zack Ryder dubbed himself the Internet Champion, even with his own custom belt. It wasn’t recognised as an official title by WWE, though.

“Alwayz ready” is one of his commonly used catchphrases, so it looks like he’ll be continuing using that wherever he goes in his career next.
