Jerry Lawler talked to TMZ. I'm not shocked that he wants to get back in the ring. He's a lifer.
Bob Backlund also talked. Great act.
Carlito and Tommy Dreamer were talked about as surprise entrances in the Royal Rumble, but obviously neither appeared. I would have been ok with them being involved.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
Nothing to really add to 1. I don't see WWE or TNA hiring someone who doesn't have experience, though some people they have now have broadcasting backgrounds other than wrestling.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
2. That'd be great, wouldn't it? I guess it's possible, but he's got things pretty good in Hollywood right now so I don't know if he'd leave that behind. I think he's earned the right to only show up for a few dates given how much work he did at WWE's height.
Not much to add to 3. Wrestling is treated as kind of a joke here, sadly. Though with characters like Hornswoggle and promos like Cena cuts, it's hard to defend as something else at times.
4. As they said, WWE is looking at the box office for last year's Mania and trying to recreate that success. It's a self-defeating cycle: they put most of their energy into the part-time guys and Cena, and wonder why only the part-time guys and Cena are their biggest draws.
5. I can see 2 and 3 happening, but not 1. That ship has sailed.
More wrestling tomorrow.
