Chris Jericho Files Trademark For Old WWE Tag Team Name
By ERIC MUTTER
AEW star Chris Jericho has always been on the lookout to reinvent himself, try new things, and occasionally dust off something from his past and make it new again. According to a recent trademark, he may be looking to do that last thing by reuniting with one of his AEW co-workers.
Fightful is reporting that Jericho has filed to trademark “Jeri-Show,” the name Jericho used when teaming up with Paul Wight, aka The Big Show, in WWE. The trademark is intended to cover entertainment services such as wrestling contests, live appearances, personal appearances, and other uses.
While Jeri-Show’s run was brief, lasting only from July 2009 to January 2010, it was highly successful, with Jericho and Wight holding the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship for 140 days. The team ultimately separated after losing the titles to D-Generation X, which forced Jericho back to his brand for good, while Wight remained on “WWE Raw.”
