*You can get Kane's new book on Cole's online in Canada.

*The WWE filed a trademark application for "The Dudley Boys" name and it was registered on September 28, 2004. The registration said it was first used on October 17, 1999 while the Dudley's debuted in WWE on August 30, 1999. Basically this means that WWE held out for the bankruptcy proceedings from ECW before they registered everything. It is also of note that Vince McMahon has claimed that he does not feel threatened by TNA, yet he is not allowing the Dudley's to use their name outside of a WWE ring. It's not certain that the Dudley's would ever go to TNA, but it is odd that McMahon is basically using this measure when they could easily show up there in the future.
