First up, a query:
1. I don't see Shane McMahon buying TNA/Impact Wrestling. I think if he wanted to do something like that he would have done it by now.
Jerry Lawler was interviewed ahead of Raw.
WWE will return to Russia. Cool!
Here are some highlights from a Stone Cold interview. Austin vs. Cena just isn't the same as Austin vs. Punk, which NEEDS to happen.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez were interviewed about WWE being PG, C.M. Punk and more.
Raw did a 2.87 rating. Not bad.
The pre-show for Survivor Series will be CoBro (Zack Ryder and Santino Marella) against 3MB's Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I doubt WWE is doing the angle to copy TNA, and I really don't see them involving pregnancy or drugs. If it ends with Dolph Ziggler getting elevated, I'm mostly ok with it. It's really time to get behind him.
Nothing to really add to 2. Cena's exactly the kind of babyface WWE wants. It's much easier to turn Punk, a natural heel.
3. McIntyre and Mahal's careers were doing absolutely nothing (in 2012) pre-3MB, so they paired them with Slater to see if they can get them further over. Sometimes you have to change gears when an act's not going anywhere. They could easily have one of the members get fed up and try to leave and get attacked or something.
4. I honestly don't see Vince catching on to the error of his ways any time soon. If TNA could recreate WCW's success and overtake WWE, he might do something different. Hopefully things will be different when HHH takes over.
5. It's definitely a tough situation. I'd be fine with Nash and X-Pac accepting so they don't have to deal with Hogan trying to hog the spotlight.
More wrestling tomorrow!
