So if Heyman appears, the crowd isn't allowed to chant: 'ECW'?

BTW, WWE just made an ECW DVD. :DAWG:

Assuming this isn't BS (I didn't know you could just randomly 'lose' a trademark), then they can still refer to the old company as Extreme Championship Wrestling, even if they can't specifically say ECW anymore.

Trademarks have to be renewed on regular intervals. WWE most likely forgot to renew their rights to it. This kind of thing is quite common.

Who is to blame though, if you are a huge company and don't want to have one of your trademarks taken away then renew it!
