Shots fired after house show, Questions on match series, the WWE style, and Warrior-Sting, trailer for Hart/HBK DVD, another celebrity at WWE house show, Diva article causes controversy, UK ratings, Rosita profiled in 9/11 piece, Jarrett and MVP talk, and Angle arrested for DWI

Shots were reported as fired after a WWE house show in Trenton, NJ. Thankfully there are no reports of injury or worse.

As for PWInsider.com's Sunday questions:
1. I think we've seen enough Kofi/Dolph for now. I like both, but having them face off again in a long series feel pretty redundant and stale. Swagger and Bourne would be interesting, though the latter's tag team title win sort of shoots that one for the time being. Miz and Riley I could go either way on... in general I'm not crazy about an official Best Of series. For one, it pretty much always gives away how many matches it will go and it's tough to being new things to the table when you're facing the same opponent over and over. Daniel Bryan vs. Sin Cara would be an intriguing idea for one in my book.

2. Some wrestlers are indeed willing to give or receive advice from others backstage. Of course, WWE and TNA also have agents/producers whose job it is to pass on knowledge of how to work matches.

After the break, I go into the rest of the day's news and questions, starting with a potential all-female WrestleMania match.

3. I think I've answered this before, but I don't remember my answer. Trish Stratus vs. Victoria (TNA's Tara) in their primes would fit the bill. Lita vs. either could also be an option.

4. Ok, I KNOW they've used this one before. As someone who pretty much exclusively watched WWE for years before seeing anything like ROH or the X-Division, I can tell you that there's a very noticeable difference. It generally is slower paced, with the bigger moves saved for important parts in the match instead of matches just being a showcase of flashiness. There's more of a "set pattern" in matches where the heel(s) work over the babyface(s) for a while before a big comeback and there's generally more selling, etc..

5. Honestly I can't really think of anything they've said about each other, which generally means there hasn't been anything bad.

Here's the trailer for the Shawn Michaels-Bret Hart rivalry DVD. There's definitely history to mine there.

The star of "Cake Boss" visited at the Raw house show in Trenton, NJ. WWE did an angle on his show once.

WWE.com has an article discussing the current angle with the Divas' Division. The Bellas, Kelly Kelly, Eve, Natalya, Beth Phoenix, C.M. Punk, and the article's writer all commented. Worked shoot? I'm pretty intrigued by some of those reactions, and where this angle could be going.

Here are some recent UK ratings. Looks like things are back to normal after those record highs TNA had.

Rosita, under her real name of Thea Trinidad, was mentioned in an article about the upcoming 9/11 anniversary. Touching story.

Jeff Jarrett was quoted in a story about a TNA house show at a fair. Nice little piece.

MVP updated his status in regards to major U.S. promotions. I'd certainly like to see him again, but if Japan's working out for him better than WWE or TNA, I can't blame him for working there,

Finally, TNA World Champion Kurt Angle has once again been arrested for a DWI. He's becoming more trouble than he's worth lately. It might very well be time to (at the least) suspend him, but I don't see TNA taking that route. They could surprise me, though.

That's all for Sunday's news. More to come tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
