Zach Gowen, Bret Hart, and Chris Jericho interviews, Questions on acknowledging TNA, Sin Cara, Drew McIntyre, wrestling-Jersey Shore, and 2/21/11, Hogan in charge of TNA Creative?, Update on Jeremy Borash, WWE apologizes to GLAAD, Superstars update, The Rock on Tough Enough, Final match at WM27, new 2nd-generation star in WWE?, WWE PPV name change , and Impact and Superstars ratings

Former WWE and TNA wrestler Zach Gowen was interviewed here. Interesting little piece. He was definitely part of some memorable TV in WWE. The Royal Rumble idea would have been funny and unique. They could have had him be eliminated, then get a shot against the winner in a regular match since he "wasn't really eliminated".

On to PWInsider.com's questions from today: I don't see WWE mentioning TNA at all until they get a bigger profile. They might take some shots at them then, but for now they're much more focused on their own product.

The next question compares WWE's signing of Sin Cara to that of Daniel Bryan. I think that Sin Cara, as a major star in Mexico, will get a better push than Bryan did. Bryan was "King of the Indies" and all but that's not the same level as being a big star in a major promotion in Mexico. Of course, a good deal of the push depends on how well Sin Cara adapts to the WWE style. That was (and still is to a degree) a major hurdle for Bryan.

Anyone else's guess is as good as mine on what's happened with Drew McIntyre. Without a Money In The Bank match at WrestleMania, he's kind of the odd man out. I also don't think we got a good end to the angle with Kelly Kelly. I'd like him to feud with Christian as Edge goes after Del Rio following Mania.

More questions and news after the break!

There's probably some crossover in the audiences of wrestling and "Jersey Shore", but I wouldn't assume it to be a huge percentage of fans. A lot of people are familiar with it, though.

I wasn't let down by the 2/21/11 reveal at all. It wasn't supposed to be a big surprise, just a re-introduction of The Undertaker.

Hulk Hogan is now saying that he is in charge of TNA's Creative team. I seem to remember him making similar claims in the past, at least along the lines of being able to change the script if there was something he didn't like. This came up in a conversation with former WWE wrestler Kizarny, who Hogan doesn't want hired.

Update: Hogan isn't legitimately running TNA Creative. He's actually said to be less involved than he has been recently.

Jeremy Borash got a concussion from his interaction with Bully Ray.

WWE is working together with GLAAD on a new anti-bullying program. This comes after they came under fire for some of the remarks John Cena has made recently. I can see both sides of this one. WWE and Cena probably saw it as just joking around, while GLAAD took it much more seriously. Either way, WWE has promised to stop such remarks as part of this deal. Here's the press release.

Bret Hart talks mainly about his stroke in this interview. Very interesting read.

More on WGN dropping WWE Superstars: WGN's TV guide had the show listed through August on the assumption that it was being renewed. But the two sides didn't sign a new deal, so the show is ending 4/7.

A number of WWE talents are worried for their futures if the show stops being made. WWE is considering making cuts in that department after WrestleMania. They could really be dropping the ball on a number of talents if that show's scrapped altogether, because there's no way that most of those people will get spots on Raw and Smackdown.

As of now, the show's future is in question both domestically and internationally. I really hope that if they drop it, it's replaced with a similar show in concept to it or WWE ECW where talents can get their starts or a fresh coat of paint. They could really be blowing their investments on a number of talents, and TNA's not going to pick up the slack and hire them all. There's no guarantee that they'll end up back in WWE down the line either. All in all, this has potential to be a rough time for the WWE midcard.

The Rock will be making a guest appearance on the new Tough Enough. They're getting a lot of mileage from the investment in him, which is a good thing. He will also be live (in person) on the last Raw before WrestleMania.

The main event (last match) of WrestleMania is currently slated to be Triple H vs. The Undertaker, as it should be in my opinion.

WWE is interested in the son of Vader, who recently had a tryout in FCW.

WWE's Fatal 4 Way is now being renamed Capitol Punishment. It will take place in Washington, DC. I seem to remember that PPV not doing so well last year, so it's probably good that they're trying something different.

Chris Jericho talked to WWE.com about Dancing with the Stars and a comeback. Good read. I particularly liked the playful jab at The Miz. They bust each others' chops on Twitter from time to time.

Thursday's Impact did a 1.28 rating. Still doing pretty well. This was a show with some shakeups coming off a PPV, including the aftermath of the Jeff Hardy situation, so that likely helped.

WWE Superstars did a .52 with a .2 for the replay. Surely there's some network that would like those numbers enough to pick it up?

That's all for tonight's news. More to come for Saturday.  On a side note, March 19 is the birthday of NXT Season 3 Diva AJ Lee. Wish her a happy one on Twitter @RookieAJ.
