The Insane Clown Posse are part of the latest YouShoot (NSFW). Looks pretty hilarious.
WWE will tape Raw and Smackdown on Monday so the roster can head to New Orleans for WrestleMania. I hope you like hype packages.
Jonathan Coachman is teasing something WWE-related for summer. I wonder if we'll see him involved in the Network in some way at some point?
Update: Coachman was interviewed on WWE.com. Nothing too exciting other than working with The Rock. I'm sure Mick Foley would have something to say about thinking Al Snow was a star.
Alexander Rusev beat Darren Young in the dark match before the Smackdown TV taping. This is the "JTG" scenario I was worried about. Honestly, Darren's pretty good at the role of working with less-experienced performers and passing them some tips, so it fits him to be in that kind of spot. Obviously it's not glamorous, but there need to be some steady hands who work with newcomers.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Vince McMahon talked about a number of WWE business topics. There's only one Vince. That's for sure. He definitely has his downsides, but the man's legacy will be as a visionary.
Kofi Kingston talked about wanting to turn heel. He might as well! He's not doing anything else. I'd be curious of the possibility of him teaming with Titus or Brodus since they're both fairly lost in the shuffle at the moment.
Kofi also promoted a live event. I wonder if he'll have a cool spot in the WrestleMania battle royal like he usually does for the Rumble?
Booker T. talked about his status as a wrestler and more. I like him having such high hopes for his children and not pigeonholing them as being wrestlers.
The Miz talked about the Scooby-Doo movie and more. Can we get Scooby and Shaggy on MizTV? It's not like WWE hasn't done more ridiculous things.
Zack Ryder apparently found out about his WrestleMania role at the same time the fans did. WWE's really a mess sometimes.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It's all a matter of what they specifically did with specific talents and angles. I could see there being a boost in people who would watch for edgier content with a lot more weapons, blood, profanity, etc., but I don't know how popular it would be for the mainstream. I feel, like a lot of performers have said, things like blood and hardcore matches are cheap crutches for people who can't get over any other way. Things like blood and weapons should add to the match, not be the whole point of the match.
2. FI-RE RU-SSO. Clap, clap. Clap, clap , clap. FI-RE RU-SSO. I see no reason to split the titles so soon just to do a massive clustermess like that.
3. I don't think it was any kind of jab at WWE other than him distancing himself. It'd be different if he cut a promo attacking WWE or something. It was just Punk/Brooks appearing on a show he likes.
4. If viewers were willing to pay $20 or whatever a month so WWE would feel justified in paying for all that music, maybe. But I don't think it's that big of a deal to most people.
5. Triple H "owns the company" and Stephanie's his wife, so the Board probably doesn't want to mess with them.
More wrestling tomorrow.
