According to a report from PWInsider, WWE is attempting to trademark the names “Barely Legal” and “Cyberslam” for wrestling purposes.

WWE’s trademark application states the following purposes the names Barely Legal and Cyberslam will be used for:

“a show about professional wrestling; entertainment services, namely, the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events rendered live and through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing wrestling news and information through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information.”

ECW Barely Legal was a one-time PPV held at the ECW Arena (2300 Arena) in Philadelphia, PA. The event drew just over 1100 fans and was the promotion’s first venture onto PPV.

ECW Cyberslam was an annual event the promotion held from 1996 to 2000. In addition to a wrestling event, Cyberslam would also include an interactive fan convention which included Q&As with wrestlers.
