Summary

Sting has filed trademark applications for "Flash Borden" and "Blade Runner Sting."

According to the filing details, both applications were submitted on March 9. The listed goods and services cover apparel including shirts, sweatshirts, hooded sweatshirts, hats, bandanas, and socks.

The filings also cover entertainment and media-related uses tied to wrestling. That includes wrestling performances and contests, televised and live appearances, personal appearances, online interviews, and providing wrestling news and information through a global computer network.

Trademark details

The scope of the applications suggests the names are being protected for both merchandise and business use. In practical terms, that gives Sting room to use Flash Borden and Blade Runner Sting across branded products as well as wrestling-related appearances and content.

The move also fits into a wider stretch of trademark activity across wrestling. Wrestling Remembers recently covered a WWE application for EK Prosper, another example of promotions and talent locking down names for future use.

What the filings mean for Sting's legacy

For longtime fans, Flash Borden and Blade Runner Sting are names tied to earlier stages of Sting's career, so protecting them matters beyond simple paperwork. These filings give him control over how those identities can be used commercially, and they leave the door open for future merchandise, appearances, or branded content built around those eras.
