Jericho update, Questions on Ciampa, the 18-second Mania match, Joseph Park, Shane McMahon, and Lesnar, West leaves TNA, original No Way Out plan, son of legend works live events, and what happened before/after the 5/28 Raw

Chris Jericho is teasing that he won't return to WWE following his suspension. This could just be him working fans.

For my take on the 5/28 PWInsider.com questions:
1. I've only seen him once, so I can't really say. He definitely has a good look.

2. I think I would have hated it, then, too. Just not as much. If they had to make a match short, maybe they should have done it with the Divas match given Maria's injury and lack of experience. Someone from outside the company was given bigger priority than the World Title? Something's wrong there, but I see why they wanted to play off of her celebrity.

3. I didn't see it as ripping off the Santino angle at all. That was portrayed as Santino posing as his own sister. So far, there's no indication that Abyss is just pretending to be his brother. I guess TNA needed someone who looked similar to Abyss and the roster's already crowded. But I definitely see the Penn Jillette comparisons. And don't all wrestlers play make believe on camera?

Everything else from 5/28 after the break!

4. I'd understand if he didn't come all the way from China to be there when he's not an employee anymore. I haven't heard of any friction between the two.

5.  There's no telling what Brock thinks. He's really private. As for his MMA future, there's a lot of speculation that he could step back into the octagon but nothing to suggest it's concrete.

Don West has given notice that he's leaving TNA. He had been with the company since its inception. No word  on why he left.

Update: West was offered and accepted a position as a General Manager of a hockey team in Washington. There's no heat on him for taking it.

Prior to his suspension, Chris Jericho was set to feud with Randy Orton at the No Way Out PPV.

Richie Steamboat competed on Smackdown live events at the end of May. He will be part of Season 6 of NXT, and I've heard good things about him. Here's a line-up he was on, with an interview with Natalya.

Dean Ambrose beat Tyson Kidd ahead of the 5/28 Raw, and the post-show dark match saw John Cena defeat Big Show, Tensai, and John Laurinaitis when Show inadvertently KO'd Tensai.

The 5/29 news is up next!
