Z! TLIS #38, Rock/Cena Piper's Pit?, Storm talks injury, Rourke talks wrestlers, Mania party coverage with Legends, Superstars and Divas, Divas on The Insider, Foley interview, Questions on Rock's return, Jarretts vs. Kazarians, the 6-sided ring, a non-controversial WWE, and ECW reunions, Maxim interviews Kelly, DH Smith interview, Styles injured, and Angle's health

Zack Ryder has posted the latest episode of his YouTube show. Not as crazy about this week's.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper wants to do Piper's Pit with The Rock and John Cena, and who could blame him? That'd be pretty big.

Former TNA World Champion James Storm (that didn't take long to happen) has tweeted about working injured. He's been working limited  matches at house show, perhaps dangerously.


Mickey Rourke brought up some wrestling names he keeps in touch with in a recent interview.

Sgt. Slaughter and Jimmy Hart were interviewed at the WrestleMania 28 kick-off party, and the Miami Herald had coverage on the wait for Rey Mysterio's autograph.

Triple H was also interviewed to promote the show.

Here's another interview with Sgt. Slaughter and Kelly Kelly. I assumed the latter's name was because of the TV show, but given how poorly that did and the odds of anyone knowing about it other than those who Googled the wrestler, it could easily be a coincidence.

After the break, I go into the rest of the day's news, including PWInsider.com's questions.

DX as a pairing had an interview on a number of wrestling subjects. Pretty interesting listen. While I disagree with the "entertaining themselves" part, the story about paging Nash during Nitro was pretty funny.

Eve, Alicia Fox, and Kelly Kelly were profiled on The Insider.

Mick Foley was interviewed on a number of WWE subjects. I'd be fine with him facing Miz, provided Miz looks like a bigger deal coming out of the feud than he does going in. If one of the top stars of today can't convincingly beat a barely mobile semi-retired guy, we've got a serious problem here.

PWInsider.com had some new Saturday questions:
1. Their answer doesn't even take into account the huge fan demand for it. People have wanted this pretty much since he left. I think that probably had a good deal to do with it as well. He'll almost surely be called The Rock.

2. Now it looks more like we'll get Karen vs. Velvet and Jarrett's tied up with Hardy, but at some point it's a pretty obvious feud. I'm not really looking forward to it honestly.

3. They might bring it back as part of a yearly X-Division PPV, but not on a permanent basis. I've never really heard a good reason to use it other than it being different from what other promotions use. It reminds me of a playpen.

4. Unfortunately, that will probably be the case. I'm not looking forward to going down that rabbithole again.

5. I'm sure someone's planning one somewhere, since people still want to see it in some places. But I don't picture any of the major companies dipping back into that well.

Kelly Kelly was interviewed by Maxim. That was interesting in a very different way. I feel compelled to point out that RIKISHI (not the monkey from Lion King) did the Stink Face, and didn't wear a diaper when he did it.

The former David Hart Smith was interviewed on WWE, MMA, and more. I always saw good things in him, but he got lost in midcard hell like so many others.

AJ Styles tweeted that his ankle wasn't in good condition. More on this when it becomes available.

Kurt Angle tweeted about his recent improvement in health. I'm glad things are going better for him. It's definitely a noticeable difference.

That's all for Saturday's news. More to come tonight. Thanks for reading!
