WWE live event notes, surprising WWE names at WizardWorld, Hall of Famers on Raw, Questions on WWE Magazine, Network blurring, locker rooms and Gunner Scott

Live event notes for this weekend: R-Truth beat Bo Dallas after Dallas beat down Sin Cara in the previous match. John Cena beat Kane in a street fight. So, Dallas continues to be vulnerable and Kane still competes as an authority figure.

Batista and The Undertaker will be part of WWE's lineup at WizardWorld this year. This is Taker's first appearance there. It's really weird to see him make public appearances out-of-character given how protective he's been in years past. I'm sure he'll get asked about returning quite a bit. As for Batista, it remains to be seen if this is a prelude to a comeback.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.


Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels will be part of a special segment on Raw to discuss the rematch between Brock Lesnar and John Cena set for Night of Champions. Talk about your history between those three names. Could be quite the segment!

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Pretty much! People want things for free online. There's only so much print media can do to combat that.

2. The WWE Network makes for a great case study in trademark/copyright laws!

Nothing to really add to 3.

4. I think it's important to note how things were years back in the age of kayfabe - heels had a separate locker room from babyfaces and things were called on the fly in the ring a lot more than planning every little thing out. Sadly, there was also a lot more drug use and such back then. And of course there were/are ribs played.

5. I was rather impressed with his work, but he was another guy who got lost in the shuffle. You could make a whole company out of wrestlers who could have been more in the big leagues.

More wrestling tomorrow.
