JBL's scooter stolen, Hart angry at Canadian ad, Buchanan interview, Questions on WWE building stars and attractive Divas/Knockouts, Impact Wrestling and Final Resolution previews, Raw rating, Japanese star visits WWE, former FCW Champion returns, JR talks turning Cena heel and Austin wrestling, and an interview with A-Ryin interview

TMZ has a story on JBL's scooter being stolen in Bermuda and possibly being sold for scraps. Not to make light of this serious criminal situation, but the idea of JBL's character riding a scooter is hilarious to me.

Bret Hart is (justifyingly) peeved at a Canadian ad portraying wrestlers poorly. That was bad and they should feel bad. I hope they get tons of angry letters. Or tonnes if they prefer.

Bull Buchanan talked about his recent cameo and what's going on in his life. Good stuff.

As for Wednesday's PWInsider.com questions and my thoughts on them:
1. I think we need to retire the word "buried". There's a difference between being hit with snowballs and getting caught underneath an avalanche. Buried should be saved for the latter type of case. That said, yes, Survivor Series was about Rock. I agree that Cena, Miz, and Truth could and should have looked better. Thankfully they're being built more now to correct that. Booker could have been in-character I suppose. They had a big feud during the 2001 Invasion angle. I could be way off, and his commentary is quite the trainwreck in general that there's not much telling what goes on there. I think they'll continue to do well (but not perfect) with Punk. They know he's the real deal now.

2's specific to them, and 3's a potential powderkeg. There are a number of females in both companies who are quite good-looking. I honestly feel kind of weird talking about my tastes in women on a wrestling blog. If someone really wants to know, leave a comment and I'll go into it.

There's nothing to add to 4, and they summed up 5 very nicely, so I'll move on after the break.

Here's the preview for the 12/1 edition of Impact Wrestling, and here's the Before the Bell for Final Resolution. Roode's much better in the mic as a heel. I love the use of his family and "ex"-friends to bring home the point even further. If this is Bruce Prichard's doing as head of Creative, hats off.


Raw got a 3.2 on Monday, with a 3.33 hour one and 3.07 on hour two. Hopefully as time goes on that number will increase, as they've been doing a good job of building talent up.

Bull Nakano visited with WWE in Japan. She's very well-known and respected there.

THQ posted a video showing the WWE '12 entrances of Kharma and Vickie Guerrero.

Bo Rotundo returned to FCW at the most recent TV tapings. He's considered a top prospect to move up to the main roster. I've seen a little of him and would like to see more on the main roster, be in NXT or what have you. Ditto for his brother Husky returning. Don't rush it if they aren't ready of course, but I think they might be worth giving another dark match (at least) to when Bo's able to compete again.

Jim Ross talked about a number of topics in a recent interview. Listen to this man! I really hope we get Austin/Punk down the line, but of course only if the former is physically up to it.

WWE canceled the 12/4 Raw house show, rescheduling it for 9/14/12. While that's unfortunate for those at that location, in hindsight they shouldn't have booked so many shows close together around the time of the Japan trip.

Finally, here's an interview with Alex Riley. He's really got something and I hope he develops into a big star.

That's all for Wednesday's news. I'll be back later in the day with Superstars, Impact Wrestling, and Thursday's news. Thanks for reading!
