Questions on 3 hour Raws, kayfabe, Brazil, Scott Hall, and worker names, 5/24 Impact rating, 5/25 Smackdown rating, and an X-Division star leaves TNA

For my take on the 5/29 PWInsider.com questions:
1. They either need to pull some rabbits out of hats or flesh out the undercard. Hopefully we end up with more new faces and renewed focus on Divas and tag teams. We'll probably just get more fleshed-out matches and more of the same.

2. I'm personally a fan of keeping up kayfabe outside of TV where possible, to get into the character better if nothing else. Maybe they didn't want HHH wearing a cast at the appearance? To be fair, he wore one with his interview with Criss Angel after the Mayweather incident.

3. Jericho got the chance to apologize, which they might not have done if he wasn't an entertainer. It might seem like a silly law to us, but they could counter that they don't let people disrespect an important part of their country.

4. From what I understand, he had a lot of potential before his demons caught up with him, so he definitely could have been something bigger. It's a damn shame.

Everything else from 5/29 after the break!

5. I never cover her escapades so I've never had that problem, but I'd also refer to her by the name she's most famous for.

The 5/24 Open Fight Night edition of Impact got a 1.01 rating. That's disappointing given the changes they made to the show that night. It even had an advertised World Title match!

The 5/25 Smackdown got a 1.87.

Alex Shelley left TNA after allegedly turning down a renewal of his contract. They hadn't done much with he or Chris Sabin, so I can't say that I blame him. There are a couple of other guys in similar boats there.

The 5/30 NXT and news post will also be up tonight.
