Raw was a legitimate sellout, so even more fans were unhappy about Bryan not being there.
Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart were interviewed. Nothing of substance really.
Here's another Hogan interview. Blegh...
DDP talked about David Arquette, Hulk Hogan and more. Can I be TNA Champion? I'd be OK with that. I definitely think teaching someone helps you master your craft.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Bret Hart made news recently with suggesting his brother Owen will go into the WWE Hall of Fame next year. That's huge if true, but I'm not holding my breath.
Zack Ryder posted the third episode of his new YouTube series. I legitimately feel for the guy and hope WWE gets behind their talented younger athletes at and after WrestleMania. It's time for something new.
Money In The Bank 2014 will be in June, with Battleground in July. No word on why the change happened.
Tensai is now officially Jason Albert. I expect him to be fully transitioned into being a commentator. That's good job security for him to have. I think he'd pretty much done all he could as a wrestler at this stage.
Smackdown's audience was 2.60 million, the lowest mark in four months. Not a great sign during Mania season.
Here's some stuff from another recent Hogan interview. Hogan's had a unique life; that's for sure.
The Usos vs. Curtis Axel and Ryback for the WWE Tag Team Championship has been added to WrestleMania 30. Meh. That's not particularly exciting and feels like a clear backup from the New Age Outlaws challenging.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I don't know how "ready" he is for that kind of thing, but it'd definitely be a way to shake things up! As nice of a notch as it would be in the belt of someone like Big Show, the idea of someone new making their mark there is very intriguing.
2. I could see it being the second match if they don't start with it. They could have a less-important match like the tag team title match go on, then HHH orders his match to go on right when it's done. It's not like HHH would shy away from stealing the thunder away from a lower-card match. Hell, he might Pedigree the Usos for good measure after a successful retention.
3. WWE has no plans to move from the PG-style content. They've got Slam City and the crossovers with Scooby Doo and The Flintstones to work with. If parents will buy 47 different John Cena T-shirts and accessories, I don't think they'd balk at the Network.
4. Here's where it starts. Watch out for complaints about a non-existent change in character, him still being second to Cena, etc. shortly after him winning at Mania.
5. Exactly. It would "prove" Bryan as a B+ player not good enough to hang with HHH if there's some kind of BS ending to put him over.
More wrestling tomorrow.
