Dwayne Johnson now legally owns the rights to his stage name, “The Rock,” as well as a ton of other nicknames, catchphrases, and slogans from his epic wrestling days. Thanks to an SEC filing by TKO, WWE’s parent company, Johnson is now the only one who can use all of these elements in trading.
The full list includes: “Jabroni”, “Candy Ass”, “If You Smell What The Rock Is Cooking”, “Rocky Maivia”, “Roody Poo”, “The Samoan Sensation”, “The Great One “, “Team Corporate”, “The People’s Elbow”, “The Blue Chipper”, “Blue Hell”, “Rockpocalypse”, “Project Rock”, “Rock Nation”, “The Nation”, “The Brahma Bull”, “ The People’s Champion”, “Know Your Role and Shut Your Mouth”, “Team Bring It”, “The Rock Just Bring It”, “Rock Bottom”, “Finally, The Rock has returned to…”, “Not no matter what…, “The Millions… (and Millions)” and “The Most Electrifying Man in Sports and Entertainment.”
Johnson joined the WWE board of directors and the deal he struck also includes a stock award and grants WWE the right to use some of Rock’s intellectual property for ten years. During this period, Johnson may not license such intellectual property to any competitor.
