Interviews with Stone Cold/Charlotte, Goldberg-WWE update, Devon talks leaving TNA, WWE and Hogan press, Nikki Bella update, Cena injury photo, Impact audience, what's on next week's Impact, and Questions on Punk as Rocket Raccoon, Sin Cara, and Summerslam's ending

Stone Cold talked about possibly returning to the ring, "What" chants, and more. I'm pretty much thinking that Austin won't be getting back in the ring. I'd love Austin vs. Punk, but that might stay in the "fantasy" realm. He's right about the "What?" chants, I think.

Goldberg shut down the rumor that he's in talks to do WM30. This is another one we probably need to come to terms with not happening.

Devon made some remarks about leaving TNA. Devon's a good guy and all, but I can see why they'd cut him. TNA does need some veterans around, but they also need some new blood. Hopefully Devon leaving opens the doors for some of that new blood to come in.

The Bella Twins will be on the new season of "Psych". Please tell me they do Twin Magic on Gus and Shawn.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Nikki Bella is continuing to rehab her shin. I wonder if we'll see Eva Marie compete on TV in her absence?

WWE continued to profile NXT's Charlotte. It's great that she comes from such a solid athletic background AND has a college degree! I've seen 2 matches of hers and I think she's got a good start on her career.

John Cena posted a photo of his elbow post-surgery. I've seen gorier things on the Internet...

Hulk Hogan's arm-wrestling event got a LOT of press. Here's a link to some of it. Out of six news stories, guess how many times TNA came up. ZERO. Might be time to send the Hulkster packin', brother (maybe have him job to Bully Ray at No Surrender on his way out, though).

Here's a story about an upcoming Smackdown taping centered on current WWE Champion Randy Orton. Will he still be Champion then?

Here's footage of Dixie Carter signing Manik to a contract. I would have thought that the X-Division Champion was already under contract, but maybe he was just being paid by date. It's good to get him locked in as a young talent who's shown potential.

The latest edition of Impact got 1.25 million viewers, down from the previous week. You know what that means: when Hogan comes back next week, if there's an increase in ratings, he'll take credit.

Also set for next week's Impact are 4 BFG Series matches: Magnus vs. Jeff Hardy, Bobby Roode vs. AJ Styles, Austin Aries vs. Daniels, and Kazarian vs. Hernandez. Roode vs. Styles is going to be interesting given Styles' contract status.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I also think that would be great, but it doesn't look like it will happen.

2. He's only 30! And he's only been in WWE a couple of years. There's still plenty of time for them to get a big return on their investment in him. Chill.

3. WRESTLERS WORK HURT, BROTHER. There's this whole mentality to work even when you could be seriously injured. Sometimes matches need to stop early.

4. Wow. Some people are really hard to please I see. If this angle just leads to Bryan being HHH and Orton's b*tch, that's one thing. But if it's part of a big angle to make Bryan their next "guy", I'm all for it.

Nothing to add to 5.
