AEW Files for Interesting Trademark

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Fightful reported that AEW has recently filed a trademark for "King of Harts" for educational and entertainment purposes. My initial reaction is they're partnering with Owen's family to do a memorial tournament and/or documentary.

Owen as a legend in the game.

It would make sense given Martha's well-documented (and IMHO justified) feelings about the E. She might okay Owen as an AEW legend but never in a million years as a WWE/F legend in any video game ever.

Nah it's not gonna be Owen, they're taking the big chance on Teddy Hart.

That would be amazing. I don't buy or collecting anything wrestling anymore so I'm not someone who desperately wants a Mattel toy or anything but I would love to see Martha Hart working with AEW to make something happen to get Owen's name back in a bigger company not WWE. I'm all for WWE using the newer stars to put over the legends because WWE and the newer wrestlers themselves are giving no reason for us to follow them. On the other hand AEW brings legends in and uses them to help the newer guys because AEW is giving us reason to want to get behind them. I can see why a wrestling widow would see that there is a bigger level of respect for the legends without making them the center of attention. It is a bit of irony that AEW could possibly own a WWF gimmick (King of Harts) since they were trying to own names well established before stars got to WWF/WWE (Dudley Boys, Rhodes last name). It was especially cool seeing Haku billed as King Haku, which is totally a WWF creation.

Cheerleader Julia steals Becky Lynch's gimmick, but with a royal twist? /s

The very first virtual promos and matches via zoom from jail.

Teddy never got the chance to be the innovator he was supposed to be. This will be his chance to change that.

You know what they say, sixteenth time's the charm.

Forget the trios titles we're all waiting for, we're going to get a cat wrestling division.

Owen Hart Legends Deal I hope.

I would love an Owen figure and him as a playable character in the games.

I'd say you're kidding, but hey, we just got Nick Gage.

[The Dark Order Inferno]

Action figure via their deal with Jazwares, an appearance in game and other merch. The issue with Martha is with the WWE, a deal with AEW would help keep his memory alive without giving a penny to Vince.

[Cyno]

I'd love to see if this was some sort of tribute to Owen. Could even see Bret showing up if it was, though I don't know if the relationship between the rest of the Hart family and Martha.

[bob]

hmmmm interesting

guessing Owen will be in the video game with his widows blessing

[Wardlow on Wardlow 54]

Why is it that Nick Gage, Juvi, Punk and Bryan barely cause a raised eyebrow for me, but THIS is my "nah, it'll never happen!" moment?

[Deleted]

Bruce Hart is all elite?

[Terry McConkey]

Doesn't make sense to me since AEW has no history with the Hart family.

[Chiral]

Nattie's gonna be the first to break down the biggest forbidden door and be co women's champ in WWE and AEW.

And that Vince is chill about that is showing how something changed. 20+ years ago he'd rather die than let other companies use his trademarks. Before that even, even as you say with properties he acquired rather than created.

Interesting...
