WWE.com has a 2-part "Where Are They Now" feature on Billy Kidman, who now works there as an agent. He's got a pretty important job at present. Part of me would like to see him have a go at some of the current guys as they continue to gain the experience needed to move up the card. I don't think we'll see it happen, though it's possible.
Michelle McCool has a video interview coming up soon, previewed here. Very interesting (and scary) story.
After the break, I'll go into the rest of the day's news, and PWInsider.com's questions, starting with a possible nWo or Kliq reunion in WWE.
1. On one level, it would be cool to see how the Kliq would interact with the current crop of stars. But, there are a number of issues preventing that from being as good in practice as it is in theory. Namely, none of those guys are in their primes anymore. The only one I have any interest in seeing in the ring is Triple H (since Michaels is retired). I don't think Hall and Nash have should be able to just coast their way back on to the roster in 2011 when there are plenty of other guys busting their butts for those spots. The Kliq as a whole reached its expiration date some time ago.
2. No one said that it was a brand new concept. It's just something they haven't done regularly on an official basis in a while. It doesn't look like they're ending the brand split yet, since this is supposed to be temporary. I'm skeptical about that, but we'll see. I also think we could easily get overdosed on the same top talents and fear that some talented guys might be cut from the roster. It feels short-sighted to some degree. I hope they know what they're doing.
3. The former Mr. Kennedy did something similar. Given where those two are now, I'm not surprised that WWE's ignoring them.
4. Hopefully if he did he'd be legitimately fired, but there aren't any guarantees. I don't think he's THAT unprofessional, though.
5. I agree that they've dropped the ball on him. Or at least he's not as big of a deal was he was before some of the recent out-there booking. Fans were much more excited to have him face Cena than potentially Nash. Not that I blame them. Some also criticize the way his character's been in the past few months. They feel that he's kind of a spoiled child trying to be edgy instead of someone trying to change things in the company and standing up for them. All in all, WWE should be wishing they had a mulligan here.
Tara talked about the differences between WWE and TNA among other things recently. That is one large drawback of the company, due to its size and hierarchy. They've lost a number of talented wrestlers, male, and female, due to their management.
Speaking of which, Chris Masters discussed his second release from WWE and more. I think he could be surprising people on Smackdown right now if the company used him better. Good interview from a talented guy. I'd be looking his way if I was TNA.
Finally, here are some recent ratings from the UK. All over the place as it generally is.
That's all for Sunday's news. More to come tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
