Impact Wrestling post-show, Lilian's wardrobe mishap, '90s WWF wrestler does art exhibit, Questions on the KO tag titles, bounties, broken limbs, Tamina, and long title reigns, McGuinness talks not getting into WWE, Menounos update, Z! TLIS #58. Impact Wrestling rating, and Ryder returns to the ring

Here's the post-show to the 3/15 edition of Impact Wrestling, with a number of interviews pushing Victory Road.

Lilian Garcia's shoe broke on the way to the ring at the 3/13 Smackdown taping. WWE naturally posted mocking footage of it. That was...something...

The former Damien Demento talked about an upcoming art exhibit of his. I don't see a WWE return for him.

PWInsider.com had new questions on 3/16. Here's my take:
1. I think it'll continue as long as someone in TNA Creative (and to some degree the audience) is amused by it, or they run out of ideas for them as champions. Long story short, I don't think it's just going to be a "transitional" reign to put the titles on someone else.

There's nothing to add to 2, since I've also heard the stories by Iron Sheik. 3 refers to a legendary angle as they mentioned. C.M. Punk paid homage to it as he and the Straight Edge Society "broke" Big Show's hand. We need more angles that awesome in wrestling today.

After the break, I go into everything else from Friday. Next up, a question on pushing Tamina.
4. I enjoyed it while it lasted. She's done pretty well in the new role. Hopefully she'll get another shot at that level down the line.

Nothing to add to 5, so I'll move on:

Nigel McGuinness, known in TNA as Desmond Wolfe, talked about his documentary and not getting into WWE. I've got to see that documentary. There's a lot of mystery over why he didn't go further in wrestling.

Maria Menounos is a contestant on this season of Dancing With The Stars (which tapes on Mondays), so I wouldn't expect her to show up live on Raw ahead of her WrestleMania bout. Presumably they could tape something else at "Extra".

Here's the 58th episode of Z! True Long Island Story. Fun stuff by Ryder and Ziggler as always. Fun stuff with the lawyer. I wonder what restaurant Eve asked him to go to. I've also wanted to see Trent. I wonder if fans follow that license plate. Was he in a parking lot? That's safer than the highway! He's very entertaining as a goof. If he comes up with all of his own material, he's a genius. And look, you can leave comments on his videos now!

Impact Wrestling did a 1.03 on 3/15. Not particularly impressive going into a PPV headlined by Sting. A show with big names and two Knockout matches to boot.

Zack Ryder returned to the ring on the 3/16 WWE live event in Montreal, teaming with Mason Ryan in a losing effort for the WWE Tag Team Championship. WWE's got to be thinking of putting him in that big 12-man tag.

That's all for Friday's news. More to come next. Thanks for reading and I apologize for being so late!
