Questions on Kharma, Draft ideas, Jay Lethal, Del Rio vs. Miz, and TNA's Winter storyline, Jericho on Ellen, DiBiase Sr. talks, WWE charity profiled, Big Show on Nick, UWF gets Homicide, and JR talks about the draft

Not much news for Sundaym which is understandable given it's a holiday:

PWInsider.com had a fresh batch of questions. First, will Kharma be paired with someone else? It's going to take a while to get used to that name. It seems like she'd be on her own, but you never know until she actually debuts. And is it a given that she'll be on Raw? Her promos have aired on Smackdown too, but that could just be because... well, anything important on Raw also ends up on Smackdown.

For #2, Morrison and Orton would be good picks to go (back) to Smackdown. Morrison replacing Edge, though? No. I like JoMo and all, but he's not at that level yet. If anything, Orton would be the main event spot and JoMo would face The Corre. Edge had years of main event credibility that can't be matched by Morrison. They need a more long-term guy like Orton, Christian, or Mysterio to jump in that role for now. Morrison would definitely be on my list to move up the card at some point in that move though.

For question #3, no. Just.. no. If WWE does sign Lethal, I'd be shocked if he went to the main roster soon afterward. And I'd be VERY shocked if they rehashed a TNA gimmick that they likely couldn't own the rights to (surely "Black Machismo" is copyrighted). I wouldn't see them using something with "black" in the name either. Even without that name, I don't see them doing it. And Savage being his manager would be a massive rub for a talent very early in his career, so I don't think we'll see that either.

More answers and news after the break, starting with a question on whether Del Rio would face off with Miz if he wins the World Title.

I don't see WWE doing Del Rio vs. Miz. They almost certainly want both to develop separately on their own brands. There's no reason for them to face off anyway. Cole would probably not want it to go down. I don't have any "inside info" or anything on who will win the World Title, but they could definitely do something big for Christian if he did beat Del Rio "for Edge". They'd be making him a more legit main eventer in the process, too. I think they should go for it, but they're not asking me.

And TNA's Winter storyline will go as long as they want it to. It's TNA; there's rarely any telling to when a story will wrap up.

Chris Jericho will be on Ellen Monday (4/25).

Here's a link to a video on WWE's charity through WrestleManiArt.

Ted DiBiase, Sr.'s the subject of a brief article here. Nice read, though short.

Here's behind-the-scenes footage of Big Show on Nickelodeon. If you don't get the reference to Shockmaster, you have some Googling/YouTube viewing to do.

The Urban Wrestling Federation has a promo up showing Homicide. If they don't get a TV deal, I'm likely not going to cover them regularly. I'm interested in the concept, though. Wrestlers in street clothes? Interesting.

Jim Ross had this to say about his future. If one thing's predictable about his career, it's that you can't predict it.

That's all for tonight. I'll get that Fantasy Draft post done at some point before Raw. It's harder to decide who to switch than I initially thought!
