EB: You’ve got Matt Hardy, “Broken” Matt Hardy, that’s Matt’s name. Good luck winning that one. That’s the first red flag if I was consulting with GFW. You are fighting such an uphill fight because you are trying to trademark someone’s real name. If Matt did file that application before GFW did there’s another red flag because who gets there first does matter. GFW may have an argument but not only are they working uphill they’re fighting against Matt Hardy AND WWE because the WWE use of The Hardy Boyz is a trademark that they used for many, many years. Jeff and Matt Hardy were on WWE TV for a long time before Ed Nordholm even knew what professional wrestling was or even paid any attention to it. WWE is in a phenomenal position to oppose GFW. Not only is Matt in a good position WWE is in a phenomenal position and, trust me, they will oppose it. Good luck fighting that.
