Not too much in the way of news today, which isn't out-of-the-ordinary for a Saturday. Let's start with a look at PWInsider.com's questions.
The first is about the "2 21 11" videos. Some people think that they could apply to Undertaker AND Sting. I'm doubting that they're leading to a Sting debut. It's possible, but more clues point in Undertaker's direction. Plus, there's a lot portion of the WWE audience who's unfamiliar with Sting, so I think they'd go a different route than this for him. So don't expect a swerve here.
Questioner #2 wants to know when we'll see more of Kevin Nash in WWE. It's still up in the air. If they're going to use him, I hope it's with Big Show against the members of The Corre (except Wade Barrett, who should be facing Undertaker). They can add Michael Tarver and/or Skip Sheffield to that group if they'd like in the clash. Either way, The Corre should go over. I think it should just be a brief comeback for Mania, but it's always possible that he'd stick around for a while after that. But none of this is confirmed. If he does wrestle, it will almost certainly be either Taker, Big Show, or The Corre.
There are more questions after the break, starting with one about Booker T.'s future.
It wouldn't shock me to see Booker back in the ring, but I don't think it would be full time. Not a very detailed answer I know, but that's basically my response.
As to why TNA sometimes features Knockouts more often than other times, I'm going to guess it's just a case of them wanting to show different things. As in, they feel that they want something else to get more TV time and use the Knockouts as kind of "filler" on the show to a degree.
Finally, someone wants to know if legendary female wrestler Joyce Grable will go into the Hall of Fame this year. I hate to say this, but I've never heard of her! That could partially answer your question, because WWE usually goes for people more familiar to current fans. Actually sometimes it seems like there really isn't a rhyme or reason as to who some of the people who get in are, other than they're on good terms with WWE and the company wants to honor them.
Former TNA and ROH star Austin Aries has hinted that his wrestling career could soon be done after not making the final cut in Tough Enough. Here's the comment from Twitter: "Apparently not big, young, or tough enough. While it's been amazing, the AA chapter of my life may be coming to an end very soon." Aries is 32 and currently wrestles for Dragon Gate USA.
PWInsider.com has a list of all of Dolph Ziggler's in-character tweets since being fired. I love little touches like this for whatever reason. It makes the story more real-to-life I guess.
Linda McMahon is "leaning" towards running for Senate again in 2012 for Connecticut. She has no plans to return to WWE.
After a young fan rang Randy Orton's doorbell and sped off, Orton posted pictures of him on Twitter asking if anyone could identify him. Here's a link to a picture of him, and Orton's Twitter. I'm interested in how this ends up for the kid.
WWE is currently advertising a 5-man Elimination Chamber for Sunday, so there's no plan for a 6th entrant at present.
That's all for Saturday's news. Tomorrow will have news, a PPV preview column, and coverage of Elimination Chamber.
