WWE and Marvel get ready to rumble: Pro Wrestling Insider passes along word that World Wrestling Entertainment has sued Marvel in an attempt to maintain the rights to the name "Hulk Hogan," which the WWE originally licensed in 1985 after the publisher claimed Terry Bollea's ring pseudonym infringed on the Incredible Hulk. Marvel contends the agreement expired this month, but the WWE claims it owns the rights until March 2005.
