It is time to call WWE!

I would challenge them. And you should too.
Here's how.

[spoiler]It costs a little bit of money.[/spoiler]

Register your characters, angles and storylines with the WGA (Writer's Guild of America). Take a minute to read their guidelines, be as thorough as you can be, pay the $20 and -no shit- if your character or idea shows up on t.v., and you can prove having it first you could find that $20 a very sound investment.

Now I mean, you'll have to get a lawyer, go to court, and all that jazz, so unless it's an awesomely-original and coherently-structured idea, it's not really worth your time. But if it is both of those things and you're truly tired of having your creativity poached for the benefit of suckers far richer than you, then you're not entirely powerless to stop it.

In fact, there's an entire sect of Hollywood who makes their living by mass-registering "treatments" or "synopses" (not unlike buying up domain names) and just waits for someone to produce something like it so they can settle out of court for a small-buttload of money.

Rage against the machine, my little Ruck-Stars.

-Keep it Real.

How would this work out in the UK?

I'm not sure if you have to live in America to register with WGA. Check the site: wga.org

If not, i'm sure there's an equivalent in the UK.

There isnt, really..

Best thing you can do in the UK.

Print it, stick it in an envelope and send it to yourself and make sure the Copyright logo is on it.

That will stand up in court, although not against WWE's 36 Lawyers.

WWE has been leaching off of me for years for ideas. I know it.

What am I going to do about it? Nothing...

Why? Cause Vince just fucks my ideas up anyway!
