Interesting Bully Ray tweets, live event note, Hogan on Punk, Interview with Stephanie, Lockdown promotion, Impact taping updates and Questions on ending WM30, a WWE Mt. Rushmore and Jim Neidhart

Bully Ray made a number of WWE-related tweets before his appearance at Lockdown, possibly in a bid to pitch going there once his TNA contract expires in (I'm thinking) September. With TNA cutting costs, they might decide Bully's not an essential name to keep around going forward. I think I'd be OK with one last Dudleys nostalgia run in WWE before they hang it up. Not a long one, but kind of a special farewell tour to say they did it after so many years being gone from the company. Then they'd be relegated to things like Old School Raw and the indies once that WWE run got stale, because it's a new day for new teams to shine.

The Great Khali defeated Brodus Clay on a recent live event in what I'm sure was an amazing match. That heel turn on Tensai really got him far...

Hulk Hogan talked about wanting C.M. Punk back in WWE. Their story is a little misleading as this goes back WAY further than Batista headlining WM30. That was likely a contributing factor, but it was by no means the sole reason he left.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Stephanie McMahon talked about how WWE uses social media and more. It's a BIG deal with them.

MVP and Jeremy Borash attended a Florida Panthers game to promote Lockdown. I hope that got more people to attend.

TNA is looking to tape episodes of Impact Wrestling in the Northeast this summer due to difficulty in securing dates at Universal Studios. It will be nice to get some variety in location for the show.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. WWE will get WRECKED if they don't do right by Bryan at Mania after all this time. The fans have been extremely patient in waiting for the story to end on the right note.

2. Bruno, Hulk, Stone Cold and Vince McMahon all sound like good picks to me.

3 isn't something I know a lot about, so I'll defer to their answer.

4. Yeah, Jim's had some issues WWE doesn't want to associate with right now. If he turns his life around like Jake Roberts, hopefully they'll open their arms up again.

Nothing to add to 5, though this answer should also apply to turning Cena heel, WWE dropping the PG rating, WWE buying TNA and TNA going out of business.

More wrestling tomorrow.
