08.28.08 NICE TO MEET YOU… WAR MACHINE, WAS IT?
The UFC Fighter formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver has formally changed his name to “War Machine.” He was apparently happy with it as only a nickname until a trademark claim by TNA Wrestling made him take decisive action. He wrote on his blog (via CagePotato):
Turns out some gay ass wrestling federation threatened to sue [UFC] because they recently named one of their wrestlers The War Machine Rhino and trademarked the name.
Too fuckin’ bad that I have been using this name for 6 years, have it tatted on my body and it is what my fans yell out when I’m fighting.
If you know my personality then you know damn well I am not gonna let some faggot ass, FAKE wrestler steal MY name… SO 6 weeks ago I filed a change of name request and today I had court to make my name officially WAR MACHINE.
Not to get all technical, but wouldn’t Marvel Comics have the trademark [EDIT: copyright, whatever] on War Machine? Uhhhh, not that I would ever read comics, ha ha. Those are for gay nerdy losers. GRRRR ARMPIT TATTOOS!!!

not to get all technical, but Marvel would probably have a copyright on the name, not a trademark, so the protections wouldn’t be the same
hence, why I changed my name to Eat, Pray, Love
what a fucking dipshit
I was pissed as well when I discovered that The Miracles trademarked “Love Machine”.
Umm that’s not an armpit tattoo….what no one else braids their pit hair?
I know how he feels.
All the girls in high school used to call me a ‘dogfaced gremlin’ and a few weeks later, theres Rick Steiner on TV stealing my bit.
Pfft, that’s nothing. My parents named me War Machine. I had that name before anyone.
Is it me, or does it seem like this guy has something against homosexuals?
Your Mom calls me a “Fuck Machine” but you don’t see me getting that tattoo’d on me.
it looks like someone killed his dog. i guess that’s about as bad as some gay ass gays gaying it up gayly.
In his defense, wrestlers are all gay and faggoty, so maybe he knows a thing a two about copyright law.
It’s a well known fact that all Marvel and DC Superheros are closeted homosexuals. Especially the ones that wear tights or have sex with young boys.
Man, Baba Booey got ripped all of a sudden.
You had it right the first time. You can’t copyright a name/word/phrase. They’d have to trademark it.
I like how everyone is all tough and talks big on the internet..guarantee none of you would say anything disrespectful to his face.
