Questions on Austin vs. Punk, main events, WrestleMania, and WWE vs.TNA stars on Twitter, WWE and Lucha ratings in Mexico, what happened after Smackdown (Edge's speech), Bischoff talks Jeff Hardy, Scott Hall, WWE, and more, Edge updates, Miz interview, Where are they now with Dean Malenko, and will Savage join TNA Creative?

Today's news starts with my take on PWInsider.com's questions. First up, will we ever see C.M. Punk vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin? Never say never. We are finally getting Rock vs. Cena after all.

For #2, to me the main event is the biggest, most hyped match on the show. Or in the case of some PPVs, there are "co-main events". WM27 has Triple H vs. Undertaker, Cena vs. Miz, and Del Rio vs. Edge in those capacities. That's just my take on it, though. Speaking of that last match, maybe it went first because they knew Edge wasn't in great shape going in, but thought he had at least one more month in him? That's a guess, though.

Question 3's quite the rant, so I'll break it down:
-Kane was presumably booked to be goofy to fit in with the fun-loving team and/or assist in mocking The Corre. I wasn't a fan of it, either.
-While I wasn't crazy about Cole vs. Lawler, Lawler did get his revenge on Cole at the end, while still saving something for the rematch.
-HBK headlined the Hall of Fame class. They've done similar with other headliners in previous years.
-I don't really understand the part about Undertaker. They just did something different with his umpteenth return.
-They presumably dumped Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan because it had the least amount of buildup.
-Mania wasn't as good as I was hoping from a booking standpoint, BUT Triple H and Undertaker did a heck of a job bringing the show up some from that.

For question #4, I'm pretty sure that the arena would have called BS if that number wasn't right. Coincidences happen.

After the break, I look at the differences between WWE and TNA on Twitter, then move on to the rest of the news for Wednesday.

I'm not much of a Twitter guy, but as far as the main stars go, I'll agree that WWE is doing better on it than TNA's crew. I've seen a fair number of people irked by Goldust's Twitter demeanor, though. WWE does keep an eye on talent's accounts, as evidenced by the recent Michael Cole situation. But no, WWE Creative doesn't write out their tweets if that's what you mean. They just get word when someone messes up I suppose.

Since a few people have searched for these in the past, I'll start listing WWE's Mexican ratings (I don't know of TNA's). For last week, Raw did a 10.2, Smackdown did a 10.1, AAA did a 3.4 and CMLL did a 2.2. Post-WrestleMania + Sin Cara's debut and Alberto Del Rio = big numbers there I'm guessing.

Here's a recap of Edge's big speech after Smackdown.

Eric Bischoff recently had an interview. Here he talks about still being angry over the Jeff Hardy situation, and here he talks about Scott Hall, WWE dropping "wrestling", going into the Hall of Fame, and more. I agree with him on the "wrestling" thing and preferring one-on-one matches. Not that feuds can't be escalated into things like cage matches, and occasionally add third (or more) parties, by any means.

TMZ.com has picked up the story on Mick Foley's charity offer.

Interesting to note that WWE.com is still advertising Edge as appearing on a number of house shows (but on TV tapings) up until 5/15. This is likely an error that they have yet to take down.

Correction: Edge is at least going to appear on the current European tour for the Smackdown brand in a non-wrestling role. Any further updates will be posted in future posts.

Here's a new interview with The Miz. Nice read.

Jim Ross shared his thoughts on Edge's retirement among other things here. I'll have a look back at Edge's career from my perspective by the end of the week.

WWE.com catches up with Dean Malenko here for Part 1 of a look back at his career.

Howard Finkel gave his own thoughts on Edge on his Facebook page.

Finally Hulk Hogan recently said on Twitter that he'd love to have Randy Savage add to TNA's Creative end. The two are long-time rivals both on- and off-screen, with Savage releasing a rap single slamming Hogan (I kid you not) and the two almost getting in a fight backstage at a TNA PPV in 2004.

That's all for Wednesday's news. I'll have more tomorrow.
