Based on a quick Google search, Bollea had to buy the trademarks back from Marvel in 2005. But none of the sites cited struck me as particularly reliable, so who knows.

Before Vince had Jerry McDevitt, he nicknamed the Hulker “The Incredible Hulk Hogan” and Stan Lee said No You Don’t. And because Vince hadn’t yet learned the importance of having a good lawyer, the name Hulk Hogan ended up copyright of Marvel comics. The genius of Hollywood Hogan was that Marvel didn't get a cut of the merch money like they did for Hulk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Stolen from a month-old reddit post, here's the contract between Titan and Marvel. The key points: WWE cannot use the word "incredible" in association with Hulk Hogan. WWE cannot refer to Hulk Hogan simply as "Hulk." WWE cannot register "Hulk" or "Hulk Hogan" as a trademark. WWE can license Hulk Hogan in a variety of ways, as long as it is consistent with his television character. They cannot use green or purple in association with Hulk Hogan. WWE cannot use Hulk Hogan in comic books, but can use him in coloring and storybooks. Marvel would get .9% of Hulk Hogan's gross merchandise revenues, $100 for each match Hogan participated in, and 10% of WWE's earnings of any other earnings on outside projects* using Hulk Hogan (or 10% of earnings if WWE was not involved. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still catching up on everything but this is what happens when I'm on vacation for three weeks. Wish I had a mod that I could rely on but I'm more of a control freak than I would like to be. I'm bummed that conversation devolved the way it did but that shit ain't happening on there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Okay, so I was reading through Roddy Piper's wiki and came across this: Quote In the Los Angeles area, Piper feuded with Chavo Guerrero Sr.,[18] and his father Gory Guerrero. Piper and Chavo Guerrero faced each other in several matches for the Jules Strongbow Memorial Scientific Trophy This was sometime between 1975-1979. Which would mean Jules Strongbow wasn't even 30 yet. Anyone know what the hell this is about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
