GFW draft, WWE Network update, Sheamus in a fight?, why Cena wasn't on Raw, TNA Knockout updates, why TNA name was on WWE show, TNA vs. Wrestle-1 result, updates on missing WWE names, Marshall remembered, charity for Connor the Crusher, Interviews with Daniels/Kingston, "Yes!" movement spreads more, looking at the Punk situation and Questions on the WWE Network and WCW's money trouble

Global Force Wrestling is seeking fan input on who to sign in the form of a draft. Chris Hero would be one of the top names I'd want for them to sign. AJ Styles is probably up there, as well.

WWE is continuing to digitize/clean up footage from older promotions for the WWE Network. There's an extensive process to getting material ready for the Network, so there's still a good deal of stuff they need to do before it can be uploaded. There are indeed plans to put up a lot more content in the future. They just have to finish getting it ready!

Sheamus responded to rumors about a backstage fight with Sin Cara. I don't know how these rumors get started, but I haven't seen anything about them getting in a fight.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.



WWE purposely kept John Cena off Raw in favor of Main Event in order to get more eyeballs on and subscriptions for the WWE Network. That makes sense. Pretty clever, actually. I personally think Raw was better without him!

Taryn Terrell and Brooke Tessmacher are expected to be back in TNA soon after they had a photo shoot for the company recently. Maybe they can challenge the Beautiful People?

Rebel, Knux's female valet in The Menagerie, is former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Tanea Brooks. I don't expect her to get in the ring, as she doesn't have any wrestling experience. But that's OK! She can just accompany the male members of the group as they wrestle.

Kenny King was able to be part of Legends' House because it was shot before his current run in TNA.

The Great Muta and Tajiri beat Abyss and Kazarian on a recent Wrestle-1 show. I didn't expect Kazarian to go over given his contract situation. He'll be gone from TNA by the end of the month unless there's a last-minute change of heart.

AJ Lee is listed as returning during WWE's upcoming European tour. She earned time off after her long title reign.

The Miz and Summer Rae are set to be back at the end of next week. They're off filming The Marine 4. Summer coming back as a face managing Miz to feud with Fandango and Layla works for me.

Here's a piece on the passing of Lee Marshall. I understand it focusing on his work as Tony the Tiger.

Prowrestlingtees.com made a shirt in honor of Connor the Crusher, the Daniel Bryan fan who recently lost a long battle with brain cancer. All proceeds go to charity. That's really awesome of them.

Christopher Daniels talked about life after TNA. That's still weird to come to terms with. There are still some TNA Originals, but it feels like more and more of them have gone somewhere else. In a "perfect" world, Bad Influence, AJ Styles, Chris Sabin, etc. would still be in TNA, but things didn't work out for that to be the case.

The Pittsburgh Penguins adopted Daniel Bryan's "Yes!" chant. That thing's gotten a LOT of mileage.

A close friend of C.M. Punk talked about what he faces as a famous person. As much as we all like C.M. Punk, Phil Brooks deserves the right to have a private life.

Kofi Kingston was interviewed. Glad to hear him put over the importance of a college degree. Pretty good read.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I'm not part of the audience who doesn't know how to hook things to a TV, so I wouldn't be the one to ask this to. They've definitely gone out of their way to explain how to watch the Network, though.

2. I don't think I've heard that one. It might be true or might not be.

3. Yeah, they've already got that covered with a free trial. They have a LLLLOOOOTTTTT of info on that site for those who want their scoops!

Nothing to add to 4 or 5.

More wrestling tomorrow.
