Not too much news for Mother's Day, so I'm jumping right into PWInsider.com's questions.
First, Del Rio was moved to the "A Show" and they wanted to keep Rey and Sin Cara separate, so they're on the same show again. Cara was moved so they can edit his matches while he gets out of his umm... growing pains in the WWE style. I guess Creative thought it was natural to start them off feuding again. They treat it like a lot of people don't watch both shows, so this is some introduction to who he is, via someone he's worked really well with in the past.
I did the "Mount Rushmore" thing at some point already. Odds are I've changed my mind, though. Off the top of my head, Sammartino, Hogan, Austin, and Lou Thesz. One top name each from 4 different eras.
After the break, the rest of the day's questions and news! Next up, should WWE have changed Mistico's costume and mask?
This is WWE we're talking about, so presumably they wanted it to look "Saturday morning cartoonish" to a degree. They're marketing to kids. His stuff's selling well as far as I know, and that's what they're going for. I don't know how well he would have gotten over in the other gimmick because I'm not familiar with it. It's certainly different from the look of it.
Nothing to add to #4. Other than yes, it's predetermined.
For #5, what they said plus the fact that they have experience. Dixie actually commented on the hiring of Russo in her YouShoot interview. Her answer was interesting to say the least. Something along the lines of "you either really like him or really dislike him" being a factor. According to her, some of the shows that don't do that well here were setting ratings records overseas, and the company is making money, so it might not be as bad as everyone seems to make it out to be. At least we're not getting Judy Bagwell on a forklift. Not that I don't want to see something new as far as creative is concerned!
Shane Helms (I'm so used to calling him Gregory that it's weird to type his real name) posted some photos of himself and his girlfriend in the hospital after his motorcycle accident. Not for the faint of heart! Photo 1 Photo 2
Jim Ross talked about Legends of the Ring and more in his latest blog.
Kurt Angle addressed the 2012 Olympics and why MMA didn't work out on Twitter.
Update: He also addressed his contract status with TNA. Looks like he's going to be locked into the "elder statesman" role there.
Mason Ryan and Ezekiel Jackson were working as faces on this weekend's house shows. Percy Watson also had a match at one, but that's not really anything new or out of the ordinary. How long until they find out what to do with him on the main roster?
That's all for Sunday's news. More tomorrow!
