In breaking news, a Hall of Famer has revealed that they have signed a new WWE contract after 15 years. The star has not been signed to such a contract with the company for a long time.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan is recognized as one of the best to have ever wrestled in WWE and is seen as one of the biggest babyfaces of his time. His indomitable spirit in the ring and the work that he brought to every match he ever had always made him a fan favorite. A report earlier indicated that Jim Duggan had signed a contract with WWE after years away from the company. Although he had made some appearances here and there, he was not under a full-time contract during those times.
Now, speaking to Connel Rumsey of WrestleTalk, Jim Duggan revealed that he had signed his first Legends contract with the company after 15 years in January. He said that he owned his name as well, and that was one of the reasons he was on a contract.
"I just recently re-signed with WWE in January. I hadn’t been on one in probably 15 years, but I finally, because actually, I own my name; a lot of guys don’t own their own name. Back in the WWF, if Vince McMahon created your name like Big Boss Man, or Brutus ‘The Barber’ Beefcake, when you left that territory, you couldn’t use that name, but myself and Macho Man we trademarked our name years ago."

WWE has signed a lot of legends to contracts with the company
Over the last few years, the promotion has brought back a lot of legends and signed them to contracts.
Under Triple H's leadership, more legends have appeared in the crowd and have made appearances in the company. Several of them, like Nikki Bella and Trish Stratus, have stepped back into the ring as well.
It remains to be seen if Jim Duggan does the same for a one-off appearance.
