GCW might run into some future issues.
On December 15, WWE applied to trademark "The Collective" for wrestling exhibitions and performances. You can view the full filing by clicking here.
The following description was given:
IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: 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 via an online community portal
GCW has used the event name "The Collective" to brand a series of Independent events that have taken place across one weekend. GCW typically holds its Collective event during WrestleMania weekend, though the most recent Collective was held in October due to COVID-19 canceling WrestleMania events.
Attorney Michael Dockins commented on inquiries about the attempt.
Sounds like a hot topic for the @gimmickattorney on @adfreeshows. #WrestlingWithTheLaw https://t.co/I6gr4ey0P4
