Interview with Cody Rhodes, another Cena-Pebbles collaboration, Y2J-WWE teaser, '70s/'80s female star passes away and Questions on the WWWF and NXT

Cody Rhodes was interviewed. Nice insight into working with Dusty and Goldust, and Cody's very driven in his own right. It's pretty cool to see the three of them on the same page. It's also really cool to see Goldust working in today's audience. That character could have flopped HARD, but he made it work. Cody's really come a long way from his early WWE matches. I really enjoyed Dashing Cody and the following character. The mustache I wasn't as crazy about. And there's our latest tease for Cody vs. Goldust.

John Cena will be part of another Fruity Pebbles-themed promotion. #SlowNewsDay

Chris Jericho is advertised for a signing at World of Wheels on 1/25 in Pittsburgh, PA. The next night in Pittsburgh is the Royal Rumble. Make of that what you will. I'm a big fan of Jericho, but we're starting to get to the point where the law of diminishing returns is taking place. When he first came back in 2007, I was really hyped. He did great stuff in that run. The 2012 return was also great. But after the Ziggler feud, other than facing Punk, I don't feel like Jericho's added a lot to the WWE product. He's still "got it" from a wrestling perspective, but I think there needs to be some kind of shake-up with his character or something for it to feel fresh when he comes back. It feels like he's done everything and feuded with everyone.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Vivian St. John, who was trained by the legendary Fabulous Moolah, has passed away. Here are details on her career, along with a match. For more on Moolah and her heyday, see the documentary Lipstick & Dynamite.


For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. That matches my research. Here are some details.

2 and 3 are specifically for them, so there's not really anything to add. 

4. I always thought NXT was on Hulu+. It could also be a case of the content only being available in certain countries.

Nothing to add to 5.

More wrestling tomorrow.
