Query on Hunico's bodyguard, wrestling at the Billboard Awards, more on Rock, hardcore legend Tweeting, wrestling as a part-time job, Interviews with Daniels/Foley, Hardy update, Kane shoots down rumor, Smackdown audience, Trish HoF list revealed, another Mysterio surgery, and Questions on HHH, Bischoff, Roberts, Lesnar, and Rock

First up, a query:
1. Hunico's bodyguard, Camacho, has worked here and there in NXT since he was last seen on WWE TV. The team worked together at WrestleMania AXXESS. I was pretty impressed by Hunico in the Sin Cara feud. I wish he would have gone further. Maybe when he comes back?

Singer Miguel (presumably) inadvertently hit Rey Mysterio's Dropping The Dime move a Rough Ryder at the Billboard Awards. The HIAC commentary version was pretty funny in a twisted way. There are some twisted people on the Internet...

The Rock talked about the side effects of his recent surgeries including a swollen penis. You know that if he ever shows back up in WWE, that's coming up in a promo. Just when I thought I had read everything!

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Terry Funk is now officially on Twitter. I picture him sitting in an old Western cattle ranch with an age-old machine to Tweet.


George "The Animal" Steele and some other performers talked about holding down another job while wrestling. Not in the sense that someone like I.R.S. or Repo Man had gimmicks of other jobs. Like ACTUALLY having another job.

Daniels was interviewed. It's smart of him to not focus on gaining size, since he's not "that kind of wrestler" (more power-based). It was cool to hear about the BME and how he recovers.

Mick Foley was interviewed by Ringside Collectibles. Not really anything to add there.

Jeff Hardy will be at the 7/5 live event in Brooklyn, NY which is a big show for TNA. No word on when we'll see him on TV again.

Kane shot down the story about running for political office. The "Citizen Kane" joke got me.

Smackdown did 2.44 million viewers, slightly down from last week. Not really a good sign going into a PPV.

Remember the scroll of names Trish Stratus had at the Hall of Fame? Here's everyone who was on it. Very weird that she used some wrestlers' shoot names but not others.

Rey Mysterio will be undergoing another (minor) surgery on his knee before he returns to the ring. He's expected to be back in August.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Basically what they said. He'll take on more stuff behind-the-scenes, but will likely still make appearances and have matches here and there. He's definitely not going to disappear!

2. He primarily focuses on the production aspects of the show more so than the writing, but yeah he's an important person there.

3. You never know! He has made quite the comeback. Given some of the names they've rolled the dice on in the past, I wouldn't rule it out.

4. Heh. Lesnar was a UFC mainstay even without Heyman doing his talking. I'm not sure this is coming from at all.

5. Stay tuned! Obviously WWE wants Rock vs. Brock and a lot of fans do, too.

More wrestling tomorrow.
