Questions on Ezekiel Jackson, McIntyre, Ryback, Bennett, and Hogan vs. Austin, Interviews with Arn/Sheamus/HBK/King Mo, 6/4 Raw rating, 8/6 Raw theme, and FCW visitors

For my take on the 6/5 PWInsider.com questions:
1. They can only push so many people at a time. If they want someone new to get over, sometimes the new person has to beat someone already somewhat established. That being said, they are way too stop-start on pushes and it's made it difficult for anyone to break through into the top tier or sustainably stay over.

2. I also see a lot of potential in McIntyre and it's not too late to start rebuilding him.

3. His opponents always talk trash to the crowd, so I think it was just a continuation of that. I wouldn't read too much into it.

4. I haven't seen enough of him to say whether WWE would be interested in him.

After the break, I hit everything else from 6/5.

5. About the only thing to add is that Hogan was considered such a backstage politician, and Austin wasn't a fan of that.

Arn Anderson talked ahead of the 6/5 Smackdown taping.

As did Sheamus.

The WWE locker room is said to be concerned about Raw going to 3 hours. Filling that much TV time in a week won't be easy.

Shawn Michaels discussed concussions and more.

King Mo briefly touched on wrestling in an ESPN interview.

The 6/4 Raw did a 2.9 rating, with hours of 2.94 and 2.91. Perhaps it's time for a shake-up?

The 8/6 Raw will be Shawn Michaels Appreciation Night. Another example of using past superstars to try to push the current product.

Speaking of Michaels, he and Perry Saturn stopped by FCW. Valuable people to learn from.

More news later in the day. Next up, the 6/6 NXT.
