Ted DiBiase suffered some sort of hand injury at the 12/26 live event in Chicago. That's why Jamie Noble filled in.
Sin Cara was at the most recent Raw taping, but wasn't used. Maybe on Smackdown?
Michelle McCool talked about Beth Phoenix. Interesting.
Randy Orton will be back in the ring alongside Sin Cara next weekend. Glad that they're back.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I'm pretty much just like "yes, I know. So are a lot of other TV shows but they're still good."
2. I think if you're doing your job right, you have high ratings and PPV numbers and don't have to sacrifice one for the other. I like Prichard's direction for the company so far, so that wasn't a knock on him or Creative. I think they have a good compromise with Open Fight Night, Championship Thursday, etc. and that should be seen as enough effort to increase ratings.
3. I always point to the fact that it was never going to be what people wanted it to be. A lot of top names were under fat contracts to AOL Time Warner and were paid well to just ride out their WCW deals. Plus the WCW brand name didn't mean nearly as much in 2001 as it did in 1998, with acts that were hot then being mishandled. While they certainly could have booked things to be more equal, I don't think they would have gotten as much mileage out of the angle as some believe.
4. It's possible that they address it again down the line. I guess Hogan's preoccupied with Bully Ray now and that takes priority over his robe.
5. They could, but I don't see it happening. It will be very interesting to see what they do with Ryback in Mania season. He could use a momentum boost like winning the Rumble.
More wrestling coming up!
