WWE recently filed a trademark application for the term “The Mike” on Friday, August 7, according to a report by Fightful.com. This trademark is intended for entertainment services, specifically for wrestling exhibitions and performances by professional wrestlers and entertainers. It also includes the provision of wrestling news and information through a global computer network.
The term “The Mike” seems to be associated with WWE veteran The Miz. During a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show, The Miz had a face-off with Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, whose nickname is also “The Miz.” McAfee introduced the former WWE Champion as “The Mike,” which did not sit well with the veteran wrestler, whose real name is Michael Gregory Mizanin.
Below is the description submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO):
“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; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment.”
