Query on Madusa in the Hall, more on Bully Ray, TNA TV tapings update, big international TNA deal, NXT and Superstars moved, Interview with Hogan, Impact audience and Questions on Del Rio's firing, Cena not helping his significant other, Dixie's bump and Steiner

First up, a query:
1. I think we could definitely see Madusa in the WWE Hall of Fame. She was interviewed on WWE.com a few years back, so the two sides must be on good enough terms.

Bully Ray's TNA contract is believed to expire this weekend. It was reported he signed a two-year deal in early September 2012, so it's definitely ending soon. More on this as it develops.

TNA has turned the September 5 through 7 dates on their website into TV tapings. Those will be the shows leading to Bound For Glory and probably some One Night Only tapings. I'm particularly interested to see how the tag team title situation will be handled if they're short Bully and Davey. Do Team 3D go in the Hall if it's just Devon there?

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

TNA has signed a long-term deal to air in parts of Africa. That's fantastic! I think they might be able to survive without a Spike deal. It just won't be an ideal situation for them for a number of reasons.

Hulk Hogan talked to TMZ about Brock Lesnar. This is the guy who sued Vince Russo for calling him bald in 2000, after all.

In a possible prelude to Smackdown moving to Thursdays, NXT and Superstars are now being posted earlier on the WWE Network. That would be a LOT of new WWE wrestling in one day. I might get pretty burned out.

TNA has changed its later September events from TV tapings to live events, given the previous change of the early September dates in the other direction. Sorry, Bethlehem! Four back-to-back live events in the same place is going to be rather odd. I'm not sure that's the best move...

Impact's audience for Wednesday was 852,000. Given how sudden the change was, I imagine a lot of people were unaware or forgot about the new night. I hope those fans don't disappear completely or TNA's in trouble.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. WWE definitely doesn't look good in this matter for the reasons mentioned. I would have liked for them to have addressed the situation better on their web presences, but they're probably hoping it just blows over.

2. I also had issues with Cena not being involved. I guess the argument is, in addition to his movie role, he was preparing for the fight of his life with Lesnar. Maybe the Bellas wanted to fight their own battle? I'm grasping at straws, because this wasn't really explained.

3. I think the goal of the segment was to represent Mania's past exclusively. They made the right choice in not using Cena, as important as he is to today's era. At Wrestlemania 40, guys like Cena and Orton can come in and represent the Ruthless Aggression Era, since new stars will be leading the company then (I hope).

4. The table actually would have broken her fall. Props to her for taking the bump, but it didn't work like it should have.

5. Steiner and Graham don't have any obligation to not criticize WWE just because they used to make money from the company. Both men have said good things about the other, but there's no relation.

More wrestling tomorrow.
