The first Sin Cara is wrestling under a different gimmick and name now in Mexico, so it looks like there won't be any legal wrangling over his WWE gimmick. Hopefully we can move forward with Hunico as Sin Cara and the former Sin Cara carves a niche for himself outside of WWE.
Scott Hall checked into a hospital recently. After a litany of tests, he's said to be well. Glad to hear good news about his health. Definitely rooting for the Bad Guy here.
TNA is teasing the return of the six-sided ring. Slammiversary would be a pretty good place to bring it back, as would Destination X. I couldn't care much less about the old ring, but apparently it's a sticking point for a lot of older fans.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Set for this week's Impact:
- The Beautiful People vs. Gail Kim and Brittany
- Mr. Anderson and Gunner vs. The Bro-Mans
- MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley vs. The Wolves and Austin Aries
- Eric Young vs. Bully Ray with EC3 as the referee.
Not a bad lineup there.
For my take on Sunday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I like the idea of using MITB to declare a new champion, but they just had a vacated title storyline last year. Plus, this idea leaves live events with no WWE Title match for a month and no WWE Title match for Payback. I think Cena vs. Bray or Shield vs. Evolution could headline the show, but a WWE Title match would boost things. I think The Authority rewarding Kane with the title for taking out Bryan makes a lot of sense storyline-wise and addresses the other issues. I think the briefcase angle will be better in the years to come with there only being one briefcase a year now and one title to cash it in on. They could definitely book the MITB holder better, but I don't think they need to eliminate the briefcase chase entirely.
2. Cena pinned Bray at WM30, then Bray returned the favor at Extreme Rules. So a third match to settle things at Payback makes sense. Bray's already been elevated in this feud and I think he could survive a loss on Sunday if they book him strong afterward. Wins and losses aren't everything if the story's done well.
3. I think GFW might be similar to the old territory system in some ways. Despite the NWA not being what it used to, there are plenty of places for wrestlers to ply their trade on the indy scene before hopefully heading to the big leagues. WWE's current talent recruitment system is working pretty well I think.
4. With subscription numbers where they are now, I don't think charging more for the Network is what WWE should be doing. The price is a steal, though.
5. I hope Renee Young gets in first.
More wrestling later on Tuesday.
