In one of those "made for reality TV" moments: Tyson Kidd (with hair!) and Natalya are now married after dating for years. How convenient that it comes at a time when it could be filmed for the TV show. Note that the piece plugs the show and notes where the dress came from.
Shawn Michaels corrected the IWC members who thought that he was referring to Daniel Bryan in a recent interview about Vince McMahon not seeing money in a certain talent. This is why it's bad to assume things.
WWE is moving everything they're going to keep from the FCW Arena to the new Performance Center. Rob Naylor, who worked in Creative for FCW/NXT, will be leaving. Apparently he was pretty well liked and could return in the future. Steve Keirn will also be leaving the company. Norman Smiley on the other hand will remain there.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Here's a trailer for a shoot DVD chronicling 1996 in WCW with "Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan. Not to be confused with the WWE Books author Kevin Sullivan or the TNA producer Kevin Sullivan. Sounds pretty interesting for sure. Everyone buries Bischoff for Sturgis and hiring people he never used (not that I blame them).
Yoshi Tatsu, the Wyatt Family, and Alex Riley all worked this weekend's WWE live events. Yoshi's done a couple of NXT appearances lately, but otherwise has been MIA since April. Maybe they're re-evaluating his place in the company. It seems like Riley isn't fully transitioning to commentary at this time. And of course, the Wyatt Family continues to get ready for their main roster debut.
Bully Ray is the centerpiece of a pretty cool TNA ad. The champ is there.
Dixie Carter talked about Rockstar Spud, Hulk Hogan, and Triple H/Stephanie McMahon. I hope British Bootcamp 2 does well for them if it happens. Honestly, I don't think Spud's really "ready" to be a big part of TNA. I wouldn't get my hopes up for Sting vs. Taker, even with Dixie's blessing. If it's going to happen, it will probably be due to Sting leaving TNA for WWE.
Bully Ray talked for 45+ minutes. Nice to hear talks from people who know wrestling. Bully "gets" what makes a successful tag team. Now as soon as a team is put together, people talk about when they should break up and feud! ECW was CRAZY. He really gets the "heel" thing, too. I like the props he gave to Henry, who has done awesome as a heel. Crazy stuff about the early WWF days with Mae Young. Gail is pretty solid. I don't think TNA's roster is quite as great compared to WWE's as they do. Del Rio? Ziggler? Sheamus? Swagger? The Shield? I call bullsh*t on the ECW "success" stuff, too. RVD was both WWE and ECW Champion. Being the most successful tag team doesn't measure to that. I was also pretty much against TNA's ECW reunion. If Punk can be Punk and Henry can be Henry, I think Bully Ray might be able to be the current Bully Ray.
Eric Young also talked about TNA and his fishing show. I wonder where his career's going now without the Knockouts' Tag Team Titles.
Here's another video about DDP and Jake Roberts. I'm willing to give him another chance. He can still be healthy! WWE would have be to be very careful if they used him in the Rumble in case he does fall off the wagon more permanently.
GLOW's Big Bad Mama has passed away. More details here.
