LUCHA COMPANY FILES SOME INTERESTING TRADEMARKS

Twola Heads Entertainment, a company based in Southern California that has run several events, applied to trademark "Heroes of Lucha Libre" on 2/21. They claim they began using the name in October 2017. They applied to trademark the name for wrestling, movie and television purposes.

They also applied to trademark Mistico, Dragon Lee and Ocelot, which is extremely interesting given that those talents work internationally and are from CMLL in Mexico.
