Mick Foley gave his thoughts on Seth Rollins' heel turn. I continue to hope for the best!
Evan Bourne celebrated the six-year anniversary of his first match with WWE (on the ECW brand), leading to speculation he was done with the company. He put those rumors to rest. With Kofi Kingston, Tyson Kidd, Justin Gabriel, Sin Cara (Hunico), Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn all available, does Bourne stand out enough to be brought back after two years with two Wellness strikes, or should they just wait for his contract to expire? I like Bourne as a competitor, but I don't know if it'd be worth it to give him any kind of serious push when they could use that spot for one of those other names. If he was brought back by now, he'd probably just be jobbing to Bo Dallas and/or Rusev like Kofi and the other low-level babyfaces.
DiGiorno's Pizza played off Rollins' heel turn. Pretty funny. Believe in pizza!
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Batista will be "fulfilling contractual obligations" to work the NXT taping he's been announced for after his kayfabe quitting. No word on when exactly he'll be back on the main roster.
WWE put out a survey on potential upcoming projects. It would be interesting to see how far WWE would be willing to go with something like a Kurt Angle DVD while he's still in TNA. Taker pulling back the curtain would be pretty cool.
Prince Devitt talked about NJPW, WWE and more. He's believed to be working in Ireland for a few months while work visa issues clear, then heading to WWE. I wish him the best.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I suppose it could be, BUT WWE would have to give its audience a reason to care about the NJPW crew. Ultimately what's the benefit to WWE to spotlight a lot of competitors they don't have under contract for just one show? Or promote another company they don't own in general when they can use that time to promote their own talent?
2. The only issue is IF there's some kind of screwup on the ends of the competitors and word doesn't get to the ref in time to change things. WWE would have to roll with the punches then. However, it's the wrestlers' responsibility to kick out or do something else to stop the count. As for people asking repetitive questions, this one's not nearly as bad as the endless barrage of "why not turn Cena heel?", "why is WWE PG?" stuff.
3. WWE agreed to give her time off. She didn't just bail without permission.
4. WWE already books its talents to do comedy skits instead of wrestle!
5. Shawn Michaels would have potentially been a good addition. I'm less sure about Hart. Ultimately, three wrestlers should have been plenty. There are other names WWE could arguably have put in there (Foley comes to mind), but the segment was fine as it was.
More wrestling tomorrow.
