Sin Cara update, Raw notes, WWE HoFer off NXT show, ex-TNA name on Raw, more WWE Network stuff, Cena injury note, Interview with Stan Hansen, Hogan challenged, Raw audience, updated Lockdown card and Questions on TNA going out of business, Molly Holly, Bryan's push, Mysterio in WCW and le Network

The original Sin Cara says WWE is threatening legal action if he uses that character in the AAA. That would make sense, since they're using Hunico in his old role. The original insists he'll be able to sort things out before this summer.

Here are some crowd notes from Raw. I do find it weird how some people railing against old part-timers are excited for Hogan and Taker being back.

Shawn Michaels will no longer be appearing at NXT Arrival. No word on why. I'm looking forward to that show.

The former Rudy Charles in TNA was refereeing on Raw. And they say WWE doesn't care about TNA performers...

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
There continued to be issues with the WWE Network well into Wednesday, either with VOD not working or people getting charged for a free trial or what have you. I'm sure there are plenty of headaches in Stamford with getting this thing to work.

Update: New York Post covered the hectic launch. The scale of this thing is just massive.

John Cena may have tweaked his knee on Raw, but the injury was played up for storyline purposes. As far as I know, he's expected to be fine.

Stan Hansen was interviewed. It's great he was such a nice interview. Talk about a rough dude in the ring. People still talk about that big lariat. I see the retirement issue as a case-by-case one. If HBK came back to work Daniel Bryan, I think I'd be OK with it. Hogan coming back to wrestle Cena? I don't think so. Four artificial joints? DAMN.

Speaking of artificial joints, the former Zeus wants a rematch with Hulk Hogan. I'd watch that sh*t.

Raw hit 4.66 million viewers on Monday, a jump of roughly 300,000. Very impressive! That's what WWE wants on the road to WrestleMania.

The current card for TNA Lockdown is:
TNA World Championship: Magnus vs. Samoa Joe
Lethal Lockdown for control of TNA: Team MVP vs. Team Dixie
TNA Knockouts Championship: Madison Rayne vs. Gail Kim
Gunner vs. James Storm

I can't say that's a bad card at all.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Who is this hamster hating on the Bro-Mans? You're obviously not on the list, my dude. The whole point of the team is that they were incredibly lucky to be champs and not cut out for it. It looks like it's cool to hate Magnus now, so he must be achieving some success. Anyway, there's no danger of TNA going out of business right now. That TV situation's really something to keep an eye on, though.

Nothing to add to 2. I wonder if all the Molly questions are some kind of viral marketing to keep her name out there so she potentially goes into the HoF. This question gets asked every so often with the same answer.

3. Oh, yeah. Orton and Batista are going to get the Lesnar/Goldberg treatment unless something drastically changes between now and WM30.

4. It'd be really funny if they digitally added masks or something. I don't think they care enough to censor it or even mention it, really. It's hardly an Owen Hart or Chris Benoit situation.

5. Yeah, that'd make sense. Honestly I don't know if there'll be a huge audience for some of their stuff.

More wrestling tomorrow.
