WWE Network getting ready for launch, dark match notes, Interview with Coachman, more on Hogan return, Y2J tease, WWE wedding on TMZ, Elimination Chamber note and Questions on older Hall of Famers, the Spirit Squad, Ricardo, CHIKARA and the FTW title

There are a number of devices with the WWE Network available for access, though there of course won't be content shown until Monday. It wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and start getting it set up, though.

Batista and Kane are being advertised for dark matches for what that's worth. So they're actually wrestling and not just making appearances.

Jonathan Coachman talked about his favorite Hulk Hogan moment. I'd have to say the nWo angle in WWE with The Rock was my favorite.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Of note, Hulk Hogan didn't step into the ring when visiting the WWE Performance Center. I'd be shocked if he didn't get physical in any way for his return, but we might be spared an actual match. I don't see why a quick spurt of offense and a leg drop wouldn't be enough.

Here's another Tweet from the Hulkster about returning. He is able to get people to talk; that's for sure.

Update: The Huffington Post and DigitalSpy have stories on his return. Good comments from Rollins and Big E. I imagine WWE's not too happy TNA got a reference out of this.

Chris Jericho made a Tweet in reference to being in the city where Elimination Chamber will be held. You never know when he'll pop back up...

TMZ covered The Miz's marriage with Maryse. Zack Ryder attended. Just look at that goofball.

Elimination Chamber will be unavailable on the Xbox 360 due to the upcoming WWE Network launch. I definitely expect this PPV to take a hit with all the issues attached.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It's rather arbitrary who is asked into the Hall of Fame and at what time. It largely depends on who those in power feel like pushing for at a particular moment.

2. That's pretty much it. WWE made the decision to use others in heavier wrestling capacities. They might have just liked his look and needed five members. I don't know of any specific reason they didn't use him.

3. Pretty much that. They want him in that role right now and not on-screen. That Wellness suspension didn't do him any favors, either. I would like for him to have some kind of role, but it's not up to me.

4. Oh, CHIKARA. You wacky guys. The angle ended up involving time travel and a DeLorean (a la Back to the Future). It sounds really fun in a bizarre way.

5. I'd definitely be selling replicas if I was Taz!

More wrestling coming up.
