WWE has filed to trademark the name Gunther Stark, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

A quick Google search shows that Günther Stark was a German U-boat Commander during World War II.

The trademark filing on January 13th shows that WWE plans to use the mark for:

“Entertainment services, namely, 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.”

These types of WWE trademarks are typically used for ring names of talent training at the Performance Center and in NXT.

Pretty stupid to trademark imo.

By the way, the only good Nazi-gimmick in Pro Wrestling history has to be Baron Von Raschke. He's a Legend in his own right. (No pun intended)

^^ I don't even understand the reasoning behind it, since his gimmick seems to be the same.
