Love and Moore leave TNA, Questions on trades, Springsteen at Mania, the WWE Network, and rating matches, more names for Raw 1K, Interview with Christian, no Bruno in the Hall, Smackdown rating, and who played Doink

Angelina Love has asked for and been granted her release from TNA. She wasn't really doing much, so it's not a huge loss. I don't see WWE picking her up as she doesn't fit the traditional Diva mold.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I don't see WWE doing trades with anyone. They don't see any other company as in their league. And they'd have to get pretty peeved at Orton to trade him for a bunch of people who haven't drawn as much money.

2. I wouldn't put money on it happening unless there's a fat check involved.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break!

3. There would also be a lot more in the way of original programming if things go as planned. The prognosis for the network gets more and more grim.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. As they said, rating matches is totally subjective. If you rate them on how "technical" or stiff they are, you're going to have different results than if you rate based on how much the crowd was into it. I don't put too much emphasis on others' opinions of matches. Wrestling's different for everyone and shouldn't be thought of too seriously.

Sunny and Diamond Dallas Page have been contracted to appear at the 1000th Raw.

Christian talked about returning from injury, the IC Title, and more.

Old-school WWWF legend Bruno Sammartino once more turned down a WWE Hall of Fame induction for 2013. He views the Hall as illegitimate.

Friday's Smackdown did a 1.85.

Shannon Moore officially received his release from TNA after taking a hiatus from wrestling.

Armando Alejandro Estrada was released from his WWE contract. He had apparently been signed for 18 months and they only used him once as part of a storyline with Tyson Kidd on Superstars. He hinted that hell be going to TNA. That might be interesting. WWE's mad for having him under contract so long and doing nothing with him.

Doink on Raw was played by the former Brooklyn Brawler, who works backstage in WWE.

Finally, Bret Hart is confirmed for the 1000th Raw.

More news tomorrow!
