Ricky Steamboat talked about working as a babyface vs. a heel and more. Great read. I've heard comparisons with NXT's Sami Zayn as far as being such a naturally likeable performer who works perfectly as a face.
Another lawsuit was filed against WWE over their underperforming TV deal. They did put the cart in front of the horse as far as claiming the TV deal was worth a lot more than it was.
Ric Flair was the guest referee for Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton in a Street Fight at a live event this weekend. Reigns won. That's a cool use for him.
Damien Sandow continued to lose multiple matches at live events this weekend. It's not even really news anymore. Also, Heath Slater teamed with Titus O'Neil and Hornswoggle vs. Diego, Tyson Kidd and El Torito. That goes against recent WWE and NXT angles, but the live event bookers probably just worked with who they had to get everyone on the card.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Bad Influence shot on the state of TNA in 2014. I think it was a financial decision to let them go, sadly. They were definitely talented. Claire Lynch got buried hard. TNA made some bad decisions there. It's a shame the actress who played her got so much flak from fans. I'm glad they're not bitter and wanting TNA to go under.
Daniels talked about C.M. Punk leaving WWE. I really don't see him working again. I think Daniels knows what he's talking about as far as TNA Creative needing wrestlers. Bully Ray had a hand in the well-received recent NYC tapings. What he said about losing to AJ at Destination X also made sense.
Jerry Lawler made reference to Kevin Steen potentially going to WWE in a match promo. There hasn't been any official confirmation of that happening, but it certainly seems like there's a good chance of it.
Here's video of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella addressing the attempted burglary at their house. I'm glad Bryan has a sense of humor about the whole thing.
That interview confirmed he'll need another surgery. I don't have high hopes for a quick recovery and return to his high-octane style. It's a real shame coming off his big moment at WM30.
Update: WWE.com talked to Bryan about the burglary as well. Bryan has terrible luck at times.
In what shouldn't be a surprise, there are plans for Brie Bella vs. Stephanie McMahon at Summerslam. If only that was leading to Bryan returning soon.
Hulk Hogan talked about dream opponents should he return to the ring. I don't see it happening, but you never know.
Kane's doing a charity drive in his local community. He's a really great guy outside the ring.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. His ROH school is touched upon in his documentary. It's where he met the wrestler now known as Seth Rollins!
2. It would have been pretty cool to see AJ Styles do the same thing with the TNA Title in WWE, but obviously that had no chance of happening. That was a BIG story when it happened.
3. TNA did this for a while in the Impact Zone. It's a pretty cool idea from that standpoint, but I think it's kind of died out in this day and age. Some of the lengths companies used to do to protect kayfabe were rather clever.
4 is specifically for them.
More wrestling tomorrow.
