A video was released at the end of ROH's recent iPPV showing Daniels and an unidentified partner announcing they would would be at the company's Best in the World event in June. The speculation is that the partner coming in will be Kazarian. As for why Kazarian wasn't shown in the video, he's still officially under contract with TNA and can't appear on another company's TV, iPPVs, etc. That said, Kazarian will be free from his TNA deal at the beginning of June and will be able to appear at Best in the World with no restrictions. Both men are good pickups for ROH. TNA's losses are their gains.
Daniel Bryan tweeted after his successful surgery. I fully expect him to be stripped of the titles tonight.
Shawn Michaels was at NASCAR's All-Star Race. SLOW NEWS DAY.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
The former Victoria/Tara talked about a potential WWE return. Guest trainer at NXT? I know at least some people would want her training at NXT and Sara Del Rey wrestling on the main roster. I wouldn't mind Victoria coming back for a nostalgia run to shake things up in the division.
Mick Foley is teasing a big announcement. Speculation is with him joining Jeff Jarrett's GFW. That'd be great! He'd be a natural fit as an authority figure or commentator, as well as someone to pass on knowledge to the performers. As long as he doesn't get in the ring...
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Looks like Russo still knows how to work people in 2014. A neutral party should moderate a debate or something between PWInsider and Russo. Sean Oliver would be my pick.
2. Yeah, I'm pretty baffled as well. NASCAR going over WWE was Eric Young as World Champ-level head-scratching. But NASCAR still has a pretty large audience, even if it's declining.
3. Warren Buffett once said to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful. So investing in WWE now when no one else is is an interesting idea to toss around. I'll leave it at that.
4. That's actually a pretty clever idea in its own way, but having the WWE Title vacant for three months sounds risky since they already had the big issue with it last year. And what do you do with Kane at Payback? I like the idea, but I say The Authority should reward Kane with him becoming champion. Set up a big ceremony for the end of the night celebrating him taking Bryan out and him being officially rewarded the title. Big Show interrupts and challenges Kane for the title at Payback. Show has history with The Authority and makes sense to stand up to the monster Kane. From a storyline standpoint, I don't see The Authority wanting to do much else besides putting the title on Kane. After Payback, we get Kane vs. Cena for the title going into Summerslam.
5. Honestly it sounds kind of goofy. Of course I generally shy away from a lot of the sports elements. Kane as champ until Bryan cashes in a rematch is pretty much the same thing without the goofy interim stuff.
More wrestling tomorrow.
