(The reason why I’m reposting the following question is because whether do to technical reasons or simple oversight it went unanswered the first time I sent it.) Hey JR, I hope everything and everyone in your life are all doing fine. The question I have for you deals with the WWE changing wrestlers’ stage names when they either enter the company and/or brought up to the main roster. While I completely understand the copyright reasons why they do this I would like to know why doesn’t the WWE do more of what they did with wrestlers like Tazz and Rhyno when they were apart of the promotion, which is (when possible) instead of giving wrestlers entirely new names simply change and copyright the spelling of the stage names they used before entering the company? For example if and when Low-Ki (Kaval in FCW) is brought up to the main roster the WWE could change and have him use either one of the following variations of his pre-WWE stage name, Low-Ky or Loi—Ki. alexl467

J.R.'s Answer:
If I were in charge all the ring names would be owned by WWE forever. Low Ki is a good hand and is probably more interested in getting an opportunity to earn big money than what his name is or isn't going to be. Much to do about not much in my opinion. Unless someone has a nationally known rep what does it matter? Any company should own all the names that they can and that is feasible.
