The 10/11 WWE live event in Abu Dhabi (not Dubai!) featured Santino Marella beating Bo Dallas and Sami Zayn beating Brad Maddox. It looks like they're not too sure whether to make Bo a face or a heel. Maybe his character's so complex that he defies classification.
There were reports recently about this picture "giving away" Vince McMahon's phone number. That was just the number to contact him within the building. I can just imagine Vince inadvertently taking calls from "smarks" all night. "WHAT? PUSH DANIEL BRYAN? WHO IS THIS? I'M VINCE MCMAHON, DAMMIT!"
Here's another piece about WWE being in Abu Dhabi, featuring NXT's Sami Zayn! Far too many journalists get pissy about covering wrestling stories.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Taryn Terrell announced her pregnancy via Twitter. This is why we haven't seen her in TNA for a while. I wonder what effect this will have on her career. She was doing pretty well before this and TNA's short on Knockouts at the moment. I don't think her being Knockouts' Champion would have been farfetched.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. WWE's work in Florida is amazing. I hope they continue to stay on the cutting edge with things like that.
2. They could easily say that Vince thinks HHH and Steph "went too far". Supposedly he's wanted to permanently write himself off TV before (limo explosion, stage falling on him), but USA Network loves having the McMahons on TV. This fact is conveniently ignored when people complain about their presence.
3. It is pretty crazy that he's back so early, but maybe the stars aligned in WWE's favor this time. We'll see if he came back too early in due time.
4. It definitely seemed like we were in for ODB vs. Tapa, but it looks like that's not to be. Maybe they set that up for a November special?
5. Benoit hasn't been erased from WWE. They still acknowledge his championship reigns, for instance. They just only make note of him when they feel that they "have to".
More wrestling tomorrow.
