Vickie gets a website, Interviews with Tony Lewis/Hogan, JR editorial, TNA return?, big BFG pre-show, NXT star update and Questions on amusing WWE fans to death, inside jokes, revisionist history, jobbers in WWE games, and a strange place to see wrestling

Vickie Guerrero has launched an official website. I'm a little surprised that there's no "Excuse Me" reference in there.

Here's an interview with Tony Lewis, who ran StrictlyECW.com back in the day. So, yes, he's something of an ECW fan.

PWInsider.com indicted WWE for their handling of the Jim Ross situation. I can certainly see where they're coming from, and they make some good points.

Hulk Hogan was interviewed about his daughter leaving TNA and more. The opening of "Real American" still gives me chills.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
D'Angelo Dinero (formerly Elijah Burke) worked a recent OVW taping, leading to rumors of him coming back to TNA. There's nothing to those rumors right now, but I'd definitely like to see him return. The TNA roster could use a boost right about now.

Spike TV will have an hour-long countdown event before Bound For Glory in 10/20. That's great! I hope BFG is the start of a big change in TNA.

Kassius Ohno worked his first NXT taping in several months. Read into that what you will. I've enjoyed what I've seen from him and hope that it's not too awful long before he's on the main roster. Obviously he has history with Cesaro they can play off of.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Maybe if WWE put on wrestling shows, we'd see them treat the angles with more seriousness and dignity. But since this is "family-friendly sports entertainment", we're in for a lot of WEEP WOOP and general taking away from the angles and matches.

2. It seems like someone's always trying to do something to humor themselves or someone else in wrestling.

3. The victors write the history books. WWE's the big dog in town and they can shape history as they see fit.

4. That's pretty much it. Fans are more likely to want to see someone who's on the main roster or was prominent in the past than those names. Maybe the figure having JTG on the roster is enough?

5. There's a strip mall near my house that at least used to run wrestling shows fairly often. It was funny to me that I had been by that place so many times and it took me years to learn that they had wrestling there!

More wrestling tomorrow.
