PWInsiderTV talked to ECW alumni Lance Storm and Jerry Lynn about their last match against each other. It's so weird to see that these two guys' in-ring careers are coming to an end. Of course, their legacy will never die.
Matt Hardy responded to Hulk Hogan's recent comments. It would be very interesting to see an '80s style match in front of a modern audience. They'd have to tell a pretty good story for the fans to appreciate it.
Tickets for the first Impact Wrestling taping of the "on the road full time" era are selling well. I understand that that's a good market for them. I really hope they do well on the road. More people watching and paying for wrestling is a plus for the business!
C.M. Punk is banged up after this weekend's botched spot but thankfully didn't have a concussion. He's set for Elimination Chamber. They can't afford for him to be out!
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Lifehacker interviewed Dolph Ziggler about traveling. Good read.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, BROTHER. HULK HOGAN'S TEASING A RETURN TO THE RING, JACK. 60'S JUST A NUMBER, DUDES. HE CAN STILL HANG WITH THE BEST OF 'EM. ONE OF THE GREATEST WRESTLERS OF ALL TIME. HE TURNED DOWN PLAYING BASS FOR METALLICA SO HE COULD PERFORM FOR HIS HULKAMANIACS. IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO SHOW THESE YOUNG PUNKS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE "READY". Seriously, though, from a business perspective, there's money in Hogan getting back in the ring. I'd love to see him eat an Austin Aries brainbuster and put someone with talent over clean, but you know he's just going to work with those young guns with tons of gas in the tank, Sting or Jarrett or Bully Ray. Remember the story of Old Yeller?
Smackdown's audience was 3.19 million. And they didn't need Hulk Hogan to do it.
This year's TNA Lockdown won't feature an entire card inside the steel cage. Instead, it will just be the top matches. I can see their thinking there as it's hard to differentiate 6-8 cage matches in one night.
Zeb Colter is "Dirty" Dutch Mantel of Memphis and Puerto Rico fame. I'd seriously recommend his Guest Booker DVD. He really seems like he knows what he's talking about and would have done a better job than Vince Russo.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. While Foley is definitely a legend, Bruno Sammartino is even more prestigious and should go on last. He was THE guy for a long time.
Nothing to add to 2.
3. I definitely think some additions have watered things down. As much as I think Brisco and Garett have potential, they don't really fit in with the tough biker gang motif. That said, as long as the angle ends at Lockdown I think they can add some more people to get the most out of it. I see a big TNA vs. Aces and Eights war concluding then.
4. Love Cena or hate him, he has his fans and supporters and is a true top talent (occasionally brutal promos aside). I agree that it's time for something fresh but I can't fault them for going back to what's worked in the past.
Nothing to add to 5.
More wrestling tomorrow, including possibly some big Ramblings news!
