Interviews with AW/Jericho, Questions on Nash, JTG, Cena vs. Taker, and Punk, JBL back? WWE addresses JTG's complaints, FCW/NXT update, and Raw viewership

AW gave more details about his firing. I'm glad someone's speaking out about what's going on there.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. If you want to call it trolling, he's a successful troll. I see what you're saying, though.

2. It depends on the case. I definitely understand JTG's complaint. To some degree I think WWE wants talents to take initiative and take the bull by the horns of their own career. There's a whole dimension of getting over that has nothing to do with what you do in the ring.

3. Nash really is a puppetmaster, and people keep getting their strings pulled.

4. It depends on how long Taker stays around. I wouldn't rule it out entirely. It'd be a good clash of old guard vs. new(ish) guard.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break!
5. It doesn't surprise me in the least that someone with his family's past with alcoholism is going after someone who drank irresponsibly.

There's talk of JBL returning to WWE, likely as an announcer. He'd definitely be better than Booker. I just hope they wouldn't put him in about the same role, arguing with Cole instead of putting the product over.

WWE held a talent meeting after JTG's Twitter comments, asking for anyone to speak up. No one complained in front of their locker room peers, likely fearful of retaliation or a release. Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

WWE developmental has been officially rebranded NXT. Talents have been added to the roster, and Terry Taylor is now a part of the system. I hope this means good things for the system.

Raw got 4.13 million viewers, the lowest amount since the timeslot switch. Not good.

Chris Jericho confirmed his final date with WWE (for this run) and gave a number of insights on the wrestling business. I agree that older talents should be working with and helping along younger talents, and like his picks for future stars.
