AEW Files To Trademark 'Captain Insano'

AEW has filed to trademark "Captain Insano" for use in video games and digital media.

Captain Insano was the name of the character Paul Wight played in The Waterboy (1998). In his lone scene, Wight appeared as a professional wrestler who, during a backstage segment took a fan-call from Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler) asking if he required the services of a waterboy. Captain Insano proceeded to laugh hysterically after he found out that Boucher was 31 years old.
