First up, a query:
1. I think Primo, Epico, and Rosa Mendes are still heels, though it is kind of unclear with their heel manager leaving.
Bret Hart looked back at Stampede Wrestling.
For my take on PWInsider.com's questions:
1. I think Orton is in the top tier for WWE, but Punk (at least) tops him as the #2 guy. I'd think Mysterio would at least be close to him as well. But losing him would still be a big loss, no doubt about it. All those years winning championships and being in main events add up.
2. The word was that they were punishing him for his work not being as good as it was when he was a headliner, and for some of the comments his girlfriend Maryse had made about her release being WWE's loss. There was also the "not catching R-Truth" thing. I agree, though. Now's not the time to be knocking stars down pegs.
Everything else is after the break.
3. I like it! It's something different and adds value to the X-Division Title.
Nothing to add to 4.
5. I think (though don't know) they'll induct someone every year at Slammiversary. One of the Jarretts should be next, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was someone like Hogan or Angle who's not as linked to TNA's history.
Not much to add to 6. TNA was not pleased with his behavior and I don't see him coming back any time soon.
Zack Ryder talked about his goals and history in WWE.
Raw got a 3.2 on Monday, with 2 hours of 3.18s. WWE could use some momentum going into the 1000th episode.
Bruno Sammartino went into detail about his conversations with Triple H about going into the Hall of Fame. It's a shame that the two sides can't come to an agreement.
AJ Styles talked about a good number of TNA subjects.
As for the identities of the X-Division stars on Impact:
Kenny King is a current ROH Tag Team Champion. He's still with them, but his contract has expired. I hope he jumps ship as I think he'd be a good fit in TNA.
Dakota Darsow is a former WWE developmental talent. His father is Barry Darsow.
Lars Only is California talent Johnny Yuma. He was the best man for Johnny Curtis' NXT wedding.
Flip Casanova has worked Chikara, DGUSA, and Evolve.
Update: King verbally agreed to sign an extension to his ROH contract while negotiating a new deal, but has yet to do so. More on his situation as it comes in.
Jeremy Borash will replace Taz at Destination X. No official word on why Taz will miss the show.
All the X-Division talents who lost qualification matches will compete in a match at Destination X to determine the final spot in the tournament. Theoretically they could end up working 3 matches that night.
More news tomorrow.
