Big E teamed with Kofi Kingston at a live event this weekend, with Xavier Woods in their corner. So at least for one night that angle is acknowledged. Kane wrestled John Cena in another street fight for the main event.
On the other side of the live event coin, Damien Sandow lost multiple matches on his live event in his same shtick as a multitude of other live events. I hope it served the purpose the bookers wanted. He's pretty much stuck as "losing streak guy" for the foreseeable future. Also, Slater Gator are still a team on live events and RVD beat Curtis Axel. There continues to be talk of RVD taking a break soon, but it's not set just yet.
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper was interviewed. I wonder how many Piper's Pit segments he's done in his career.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Kevin Steen took a picture with Fergal Devitt in NXT. I can't wait to see the two of them (and Kenta) tear it up down there. Also, where the heck is Solomon Crowe?
One of Big E's former teammates talked about E's workouts. E's a beast, for sure.
Smackdown moves back to Thursdays October 2. I think that's the best night for it.
The former Alberto Del Rio is expected to be heading to WWC in Puerto Rico. I'm glad he's getting bookings.
Daniel Bryan is being advertised for WWE's European tour in November. I would assume this to just be a set of appearances instead of an in-ring return, but we'll see.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Vince is always going to try to spin things to him being the victim or the hero. He likes winning and writing his own narrative, hence all the yes-men and such.
2. I think knowing further in advance would have been great for both TNA and the fans. It just took getting that far in the negotiations for the decision to be made.
3. I don't see any way a "legit" Brock/Hogan match ends even remotely well for Hulk. Financially, I'm sure it'd be great for him. Physically? I'm thinking something like Humpty Dumpty.
4. With the right angle, I think that could be awesome. Something about Heyman abandoning the ECW guys or something. Just remember most fans are more familiar with Bubba Ray Dudley than Bully Ray. Also, should they wait for Devon to be available? People are going to ask where he is if Bully/Bubba Ray just shows up out of the blue. Brock destroying Devon would be a good heat toward the match, too.
5. I don't think Vince is THAT sadistic and pro-Cena. They'd be throwing a lot of money away if Cena wins the strap back at NoC. Even if he drops it to Rollins.
More wrestling tomorrow.
