Questions on the WWE Cruiserweight show, two top titles, Hogan, the WWE Network, and Ring Ka King, Henry and Rock updates, and another FCW star on live events

For my take on the 6/3 PWInsider.com questions:
1. The show is still in the early stages, so they might not be at that point yet. If there are names from there that have caught their eyes, none have been signed exclusively for the project yet.

2. I think they should keep two titles as long as there are two loosely defined brands. As they alluded to, they still have two distinct live show tours.

3. I've seen some of his overseas matches and they surprise me because you don't expect to see that kind of thing from him. Hart and HBK were solid enough to have good matches with anyone.

Everything else from 6/3 is after the break!

4. They might be looking at that kind of thing since progress in the traditional route has been slow. I don't think that's a big enough audience to sell the Network to by itself, though. MAYBE combined with things like YouTube and Hulu they could turn a profit, but I think they at least need some penetration in traditional cable and satellite to be as successful as they want/need the Network to be.

5. As they alluded to, it wasn't TNA per se that launched there but a different series run by people in TNA. It's smart of them to work with local markets when they can't get clearance for the main show.

Mark Henry says that he's "healing great" after surgery and is expected to be back in the fold down the line.

The Rock's WWE schedule "may" be affected by G. I. Joe 2. The sides are trying to work something out.

Richie Steamboat lost to Damien Sandow on Smackdown live events on the weekend of 6/1. We'll be seeing him soon on NXT.

More news later tonight.
