Query on a new TNA video game, NXT Title match on live events, NXT live event notes, more Impact speculation, ECW Exposed note, Smackdown moving in Canada as well, and Questions on Matt Striker, ECW Week, another Orton, and Survivor Series

First up, a query:
1. I haven't heard anything about a new TNA video game coming in 2015, or at any time for that matter. TNA is hardly a hot product right now.

Adrian Neville defended the NXT Championship against Sami Zayn as part of the main roster tour of Europe. That's hardly news at this point. I want to see what Neville's got in him as a heel, as his current personality is a bit dry.

Here are results from a recent NXT live event. I'm ready to see what Solomon Crowe brings to the table, after SO many dark matches at NXT tapings, etc. I wonder why Balor and Owens (it's weird using their new names) didn't work the show.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

WGN America has announced picking up a wrestling-themed reality show, and a show from Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment. The fact neither of these are related to TNA has led to speculation of the channel passing on picking up Impact Wrestling after being rumored to be in the running to pick the show up when TNA's current deal with Spike ends. There's still time for a deal to put TNA on TV in 2015, but it's definitely crunch time for the company.

ECW Exposed is in some ways a way to introduce newer fans to ECW in addition to hearing backstage stories from Paul Heyman and Joey Styles.

Smackdown will be moving to Wednesdays in Canada starting in January. Thursday nights are already set aside for NHL games. Why not just keep it on Fridays?

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Striker's commentary is underrated. He's great with references, move names, etc.. It was a pleasure listening to him in the later years of the ECW brand (which was also a diamond in the rough).

2. Meh. ECW Exposed could be cool. I definitely want to hear what Styles and Heyman think of yet another look back at the company.

3. I haven't seen anything credible about such a signing. Lots of fake news out there.

4. That's definitely the first one that comes to mind. I was a big mark when that angle was going on, and popped hard for the end of it. The spots with Y2J turning on Rock and Angle saving the day were huge.

Nothing to add to 5.

More wrestling tomorrow.
