Query on WWE trademarks, Florida Panthers talk Mania, why Duggan Rumbled, WWE relaunches YouTube page, footage of TNA in London, more on new WWE hire, JoMo/Billy Gunn interview, Chyna rant, an update on Divas' angles, charity raffle for Mania, and Sheamus talks

Wednesday, things started off with a query:1. I believe WWE can indeed trademark phrases for certain contexts (i.e. merchandising purposes). It would make sense, at least, to trademark things like "Boots to Asses" so others can't profit off of their intellectual property.

A number of players for the NHL's Florida team talked about wrestling and WrestleMania. Cool to see.

WWE used "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan at the Royal Rumble in part to get him visibility before his autobiography drops on 4/1.

As has been alluded to, WWE relaunched their YouTube channel with a number of new shows. I'm making the decision to not cover them, as I feel I'd have to start covering all their videos. Some of these things are barely (if that) wrestling-related, so I don't think I'm doing a great disservice here. If someone wants me to reconsider, please comment below.

After the break, I go into the rest of the day's news. Next up, a preview of TNA from London.

Here's footage from Impact Wrestling. The fans were reportedly very pleased with the UK tour.

And here's a little more on WWE's new Senior VP of Creative and Development.

The former John Morrison and Billy Gunn were interviewed ahead of a show in Manila. I love how they change names by one letter to escape copyrights.

Chyna went on a HUGE rant on Twitter, addressing TMZ, the McMahon Family, X-Pac, Triple H and porn among other things. I'm only vaguely aware of what she's talking about. She was previously in relationships with HHH and Waltman, and doesn't have fond memories of them to say the least.

Beth Phoenix cut a confident promo on her place in the Divas' division.

And speaking of the Divas' division, there are definite plans to continue with Natalya's "flatulence" angle. I wish I was kidding. If TNA could pony up enough dough, she should be out of there. She deserves a LOT better, like going for the title.

Mick Foley and Eve are putting together a pretty awesome raffle for charity. The prizes include lunch with Divas, seats to WrestleMania and the Hall of Fame, and air/hotel fare. That's big.

Sheamus talked about a number of topics related to his career, hopefully in-character with the full accent. Very good stuff. He and Bryan should get that World Title spot after being kicked to the pre-show last year.

That's all for Wednesday's news. More to come later tonight. Thanks for reading!
