WWE returning to Malaysia, where's Joey Mercury?, more investigations into WWE, another TNA/Wrestle-1 show coming, Interviews with EC3/Big Zeke/Bad Influence, Slammiversary match official and Questions on Punk's contract, TNA surviving, Stephanie vs. Brie and Luke Harper

WWE has announced a return to Malaysia. Hopefully that goes well for them.

WWE's latest "Where are they now?" is for Joey Mercury. Pretty cool piece.

Another investigation has been launched into WWE's financial statements. Not good. Even if they don't find any wrongdoing, there's going to be a negative association with WWE for being investigated.

Update: And another investigation! The sharks smell blood.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Wrestle-1 will hold a show in July featuring TNA's Sanada and The Wolves defending their championships. I wonder how much longer Sanada will be staying in the States?


EC3 was interviewed before a TNA live event. He's pretty entertaining. Definitely a highlight of TNA these days.

Ezekiel Jackson talked about leaving WWE and more. I think they had pretty much done all there was to do with him. Teamed with The Brian Kendrick, Ruthless Roundtable on ECW, The Corre... I can't think of much else to really use him for. Another tag team was a possibility if they felt he could add to someone's game. I'd be rather surprised if TNA took him in their current state, but you never know with them.

Kazarian and Daniels gave interviews about life after TNA. TNA has definitely changed a lot in the past year as far as signature names leaving. Bad Influence is a very talented team (individually and collectively), so I hope their talents are appreciated elsewhere. TNA's not in a good place financially to drop some of the names they've dropped.

Bully Ray vs. Ethan Carter III has been officially made for Slammiversary. I think Dixie will go through a table that night.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. That would make sense given the timing of MITB 2011.

2. You'd think they'd be able to keep going with those international TV deals, but they'll need places to tape their shows.

3. I could see there being a match there, sure. Probably not a long series, though.

4. I don't see why they would be, but there are obvious parallels.

5. Luke Harper is AMAZING. I rank him really highly.

More wrestling tomorrow.
