	Athletes - Shark Boy

Dean Roll (born January 28, 1975 in Dayton, Ohio), better known by his stage name, Shark Boy, is an American professional wrestler who debuted with Heartland Wrestling Association and is currently working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and on the independent circuit. In 2004 while in TNA, he formed a very comical tag team with fellow wrestler D-Ray 3000. They teamed for the better half of the year until D-Ray left the company. He is also the owner of Buckeye Pro Wrestling.

Miramax lawsuit

On June 8, 2005 Shark Boy filed a lawsuit against Miramax Films. Having trademarked the name "Shark Boy" in 1999, Shark Boy claimed that Miramax's then-latest release "The Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava Girl" infringed upon his trademark, and demanded any "money, profits and advantages wrongfully gained". In November 2005 it emerged that Miramax had attempted to have the case dismissed, in addition to requesting that the court nullify Shark Boy's trademark on the basis that "Plaintiff is a male whose services are rendered only when he is wearing a costume depicting 'shark-like' attributes." Shark Boy was scheduled to attend a court hearing on January 5, 2006.
