The Jarrett hype train keeps going with a new video. So umm... what does this have to do with wrestling? I like Karen and Jeff, but this is a wrestling blog and they need to be working on something wrestling-related for me to keep covering them.

TriCities.com covered a local wrestler competing on a TNA live event. As far as I know, this wasn't any kind of tryout or anything. It might have just been a squash match to build Shaw before he faces Anderson.

PWInsider.com has a great look at what's going down between Punk and WWE. It seems like some people in WWE are taking note of us wanting new names in the mix, but there's also HHH throwing Bryan under a bus. There's a difference between implying someone's "good, but not good enough to face HHH" and insinuating they're not in the same league as someone who's largely retired.

Seth Rollins talked in Chicago. Insightful read as always from him. The Shield's an impressive group of guys.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Vince McMahon made Forbes' list of billionaires for the first time.

I can just picture him strutting around saying "I'M A BILLIONAIRE, DAMMIT!"

New TNA X-Division Champion Seiya Sanada will be part of the company for an "indefinite excursion" as part of TNA's relationship with Wrestle-1. That's pretty cool. I hope he's worth the hype.

Billy Robinson passed away at 74. PWInsider.com has a solid recap of his career. He definitely had a big influence on things. Rest in peace, Billy.

Jim Ross talked about being interviewed for an ESPN piece on the WWE Performance Center as well as the upcoming Paul Heyman DVD. I'm looking forward to both of those!

Smackdown's audience this week was approximately 2.80 million viewers, a jump from the previous week. If they do jump to Tuesday nights, they'll likely pull in even more people.

WWE filed a 10-K with a lot of business info, including how many performers they have under contract and what they consider to be competition. I'm surprised there hasn't been a big blood-letting of talent outside of NXT. That had become the norm for a while.

MVP was interviewed about Dixie Carter as an on-screen character and more. It makes sense to phase her out if (when) MVP's team gets the win at Lockdown. I think she's served her purpose for now, though I do enjoy her as something of a guilty pleasure.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Yep, WWE plays favorites with arenas based on who helped them out in the past. They already have a relationship with that arena and don't see a reason to change things up or go to a competing arena.

2. It might get a little dicey with ensuring the fans there won't be yet another screwjob ending after Bryan beats HHH or after winning the title. And of course, Bryan has to actually go over those two. I'm a fan of heel Batista and it makes sense for him to be champion as they hype his movie, but I think it's Bryan's time. The fans have spoken.

3. I think they really underestimated the difficulties of putting so much content up for so many people to download. There will be more shows available in time.

4. I would MMMMUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHH rather see AJ vs. Paige than the never-ending "Total Divas" feud, but I suspect we'll have to wait until Season 2 kicks off before anything changes in that area of the company.

5. Vince has a different philosophy of what the women should be used for than HHH and the shows are different accordingly. I'd like to think we'll see more solid wrestling as the Performance Center continues to crank talents out.

More wrestling tomorrow.
