Eric Bischoff, the former WCW president, had some words for the policy that WWE undergoes to change the name of specific superstars. He talked about how WWE changed the name of Austin Theory to just Theory, which is not the single reported case. The company has been doing this act for a long time itself. Eric Bischoff described the probable causes for the name change and also his opinions about whether this move is justified or not.

“I can assume that there was an attempt to trademark Austin Theory and for whatever reason, it’s possible that that trademark was denied and could’ve been challenged,” Bischoff said. “Who knows? We don’t know, so they adjusted on the fly and went with Theory instead as a wrestling-related character. I kind of dig it better actually, I like those kinds of names, I like simple brands that aren’t necessarily traditional first and last names. I liked it when they did it and in terms of the reason why they did it, too much we don’t know to speculate.” He added.
