X-Division Championship update, Interview with Sheamus, formerly blacklisted WWE star back in the fold, cool Heyman photo, and Questions on Brooke Hogan, WWE in FL, being a "smart fan", killing WCW, and Saturday Morning Slam

TNA will have a tournament to crown a new X-Division Champion. Qualifying matches begin this week on Impact.

Speaking of this week's X-Division themed Impact, I'm starting to think that Sabin should win the TNA Title just to shake things up for a while (he can lose it back in time for Bully vs. Styles at BFG). God knows that TNA could use something fresh and new.

Sheamus talked about the WWE Performance Center. Sounds like some cool stuff there.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Ultimate Warrior will be a part of WWE 2K14, which is pretty cool given the heat he's had with the company in the past.


Paul Heyman's children visited the former ECW Arena. I wonder if they'll ever be put through any tables or anything?

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Pretty much what they said. There's a distinction between Brooke Bollea's real-life marriage and the one portrayed on TV by Brooke Hogan. I can see the argument that they should have kept it quiet or worked it into the show or something, though.

2. Apparently not. I haven't heard of any plans to do so. They can send footage from FL immediately to CT so there's no need to be down there.

3. EXACTLY. People get WAY too caught up in being a smart fan. It's terrible. They want cool new gimmicks and awesome heels, but they try to ruin it when they get just that. Do they want a cookie or trophy or something?

4. Someone obviously has an axe to grind with Bischoff. He definitely played a big part, but some of his employees (Russo, Hogan, Nash, etc.) also deserve some blame. There was a LOT of overspending, for sure, though. Anyway, pinning all the blame on Bischoff is somewhat shortsighted. There are people under him and over him who were also involved in WCW's downfall - some corporate "suits" who didn't "get" wrestling and meddled with things. Not to mention the fact that the WWF made a lot of big changes and pushes that would have made it hard for WCW to compete even if they were firing on all cylinders.

5. I believe it might be back in the Fall.

More wrestling tomorrow.
