Powell's POV: I was surprised to see Leslie use his WWE name on Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling, but I assumed WWE let the trademark expire. Obviously, that's not the case. WWE may have looked the other way when Leslie used the name on the indy scene, but they are cracking down on him for using the name on CMT show.
