Thank you for your email below.  The names do NOT identity any particular living individuals.

Hi Lauren,

 

I have a bunch of these marks assigned to me.  Chad Gable, Gran Metalik, Rhyno, Chris Jericho, Demon King and Skull King.  I believe these are all stage names of your wrestlers.  Can you confirm this please?  If so, I will need consents signed by them.  If not, I can enter a statement in the record that “The name ______________ does not identify a particular living individual” and approve them.

 

Regards,

Jim Griffin
