-- Ric Flair and WWE were involved in a bit of a scuffle last year when Flair attempted to trademark the term "The Man" after WWE began marketing Becky Lynch with that term. According to Flair, he first approached the promotion to try and work out an agreement for the term, but was ignored so he ended up taking the step to try and register the mark with the USPTO. He then claimed that his doing so caused a rift between himself and WWE and had a negative impact on his daughter, Charlotte. You can read more about that story here.
-- Fortunately for both sides, it appears everything is resolved as Flair turned over the rights to "The Man" over to WWE last week. He also recently signed a new contract with WWE and it is almost a lock that negotiations included ownership of those marks or the transaction was perhaps even included in the contract. From the get go, it appears that Ric never actually wanted to own the trademark, but rather wanted to be compensated for it based on his usage for many years before Lynch burst onto the scene.
