WWE Legends, "fired" superstars, and an NXT member on tour, Questions on Vince in the Hall of Fame, releasing The Miz, Tensai/Albert, lolTNA, and rebooking Punk/Jericho, frustration in TNA, ECW flashback, DiBiase charity work, Sheamus profiled, and a Heyman rumorbuster

Booker T. is being advertised for a May tour of Brazil with the Raw brand, while Mick Foley is advertised for a May tour of Mexico with Smackdown. I hope their use brings in ticket sales and works in favor of the current crew.

Speaking of tours, Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks continued work on the Smackdown tour in Europe over the weekend of 4/20 despite being "fired" on NXT. Percy Watson also worked there.

For my take on the 4/22 PWInsider.com questions:
1. I would think that if he wanted to go in before he dies, he'd have put himself in already. He's certainly had plenty of chances to do so!

2. While I disagree that he's having horrible performances, he's certainly on WWE's bad list. His girlfriend Maryse has made comments about her release being WWE's loss, and that hasn't done him any favors either. That said, he did get the pin at Mania this year.

After the break, I go into everything else from 4/22. Next up, a question on Lord Tensai.
3. The only thing I have to really add is that the piercings, to me, don't seem out of place. Though I wouldn't object to them not being part of the gimmick and share the feeling about them being kind of against kayfabe.

4. Theoretically, it builds so fans will tune in next time to see it "done right" with the good guy winning. That hasn't necessarily worked in practice, though.

5. Ouch. No. I like the idea of keeping Punk as champ and not turning him from being straight-edge without a really good reason. Jericho's an older, part-time guy and should be treated as such vs. the young lion.

Some people in TNA were notably frustrated at Hulk Hogan's comment about how going live would solve a lot of the company's problems. They're much more worried about the pushes of the Bischoffs and Hogan.

Tommy Dreamer looked at where the performers from ECW Barely Legal are now.

TMZ looked at Ted DiBiase's Christian charity work.

An Irish site looked at Sheamus returning to the country with WWE.



Despite rumors to the contrary, Paul Heyman did not work with WWE on recent Brock Lesnar video packages.


That's all for 4/22. More news to come when I'm able after Raw. Thanks for reading!
