Taker's ice bucket challenge, territory star passes, Hogan upset at Brock, Knockout done with TNA, WWE commentary change, more WWE charity and press, Interviews with Sting/Hogan/Jimmy Hart/Cesaro, Cena injured?, TNA backstage cuts, British Boot Camp 2 note and a TNA dating contest

The Undertaker took the ice bucket challenge. At least, I think that's him. It's not a great video. Seriously though, I'm glad he took the challenge and is OK with being out-of-character more these days. I wonder what he does when his wrestling career's over.

Territory era star Bonnie Watson has passed away. Good read on her career.

Hulk Hogan being upset about Brock Lesnar's unscripted line at the birthday celebration is apparently a shoot. I think it was fine for Brock's character, but Hogan has a pretty big ego and is protective of his image.

ODB's contract has expired without renewal, so she's done with TNA. I'm more than OK with that as I think they've gotten everything they can out of the character. That said, she's got a consistent audience who will miss her. I wonder what Eric Young thinks of her being done?

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Tom Phillips has joined the Smackdown broadcast team, with Michael Cole replacing him on Main Event. Honestly, I'm pretty much tuning out the commentary these days because it's usually more frustrating than anything!

Kane granted a wish before Smackdown. He's a great guy outside the ring.

Sting talked about being in WWE 2K15 and more. I think it's increasingly likely he has a match at WM31.

Hulk Hogan talked about one more match. No way in hell should he face Cena in his condition. There's got to be a better use of Cena at WM31.

Goldust and Zack Ryder also did the ice bucket challenge. I've literally lost track of everyone who's done it.

Jimmy Hart talked about a number of topics after the Hogan birthday bash. He's pretty much always got those shades on.

Cesaro talked about a number of opponents he's had recently and more. I hope he's in for another push.

There are rumors of John Cena being injured at Summerslam, as in this interview. I wonder if they're doing the rematch at Night of Champions to give him an out to heal afterward. No official word of an injury, though.

TNA has released a number of backstage personnel, including Jimmy Jay. It seems like they're really shrinking.

TNA had more than 50 people try out for British Boot Camp 2. No complaints with that number!

TNA is doing a "#DateABroman" contest. It's a shame we'll never see the BroMans vs. 3MB.

More wrestling tomorrow.
