Back in July 2011, Zack Ryder wrestled at several WWE live events as the “Ultimate Broski.” Ryder parodied Ultimate Warrior character, using Warrior’s facepaint, ring gear and mannerisms.
Earlier this week, Zack Ryder wrote the following message on Twitter:
“Z! TLIS action figures coming soon. Here’s a preview.”
Ultimate Warrior, who is very protective of his intellectual property, replied to him:
“Having fun with MY UW marks is one thing, violating my TM rights is another. Don’t think so…someone needs to rethink”
On Wednesday, Ryder followed up with this message – assuring Warrior he has no need to call his lawyer:
“To clear up any confusion, the Z! TLIS action figures are custom made. They will not be mass produced or for sale anywhere…”
