The former Victoria/Tara talked about TNA. Backstage TNA stories are the gift that keeps on giving. Hopefully things are different there now, but I don't know how much has really changed for 2015.
WWE has put more Old School episodes on the WWE Network. It's cool to see some of those old cards.
Set for next week's NXT:
- NXT Championship Contender's Tournament: Bull Dempsey vs. Baron Corbin
- NXT Championship Contender's Tournament: Adrian Neville vs. Tyson Kidd
- NXT Tag Team Championship: Lucha Dragons vs. Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy
- Charlotte and Bayley vs. Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch
- Contract signing between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens
That should be a pretty good card.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
TNA Knockouts Champion Taryn Terrell filmed a stunt for an upcoming Will Ferrell movie. She can take one hell of a bump, that's for sure.
There's a picture floating around of a billboard in New York City of Brock Lesnar facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. This is believed to be a hoax. It's definitely a popular thing to speculate on that matchup on the Internet.
Chris Jericho talked about potentially working WM31 and more:
- I wish there was more of people like Jericho explaining to fans why WWE pushes people like Reigns. If Reigns gets a better reaction and moves business metrics better than other wrestlers, WWE's going to try to line him up to be a really big deal.
- I disagree with Jericho a bit on people being stuck in the WWE system. While that's definitely true for some performers, but a lot of talented people come from other promotions and have a lot of experience. Unsurprisingly, some of these names are doing pretty well for themselves (Rollins, Ambrose, etc.).
- Ryback's promo was pretty great. I'm glad he was fleshed out as a character.
WWE did an interview with NXT's Carmella. I think Enzo, Cass, and Carmella need to reach another level as characters. They're spinning their tires right now.
VINCE MCMAHON DID AN INTERVIEW, DAMMIT:
- Can we get Vince vs. Jerry Jones at WM32? That would be MONEY.
- I can certainly see the comparisons to Barnum and Murdoch. A definitive Vince biography needs to happen once he passes. This is a man who will be studied for generations.
C.M. Punk put out a tweet that might be a reference to Dolph Ziggler's promo on Smackdown. I viewed the promo as Ziggler making a reference the "smart fans" would appreciate. He's incredibly competitive, but as far as I know there's no heat between himself and Punk.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. That's my guess, too. Obviously it sounds better for TNA to include that title to promote his credibility.
2. I also assume it's part of his gimmick.
3. Eric Bischoff came up with it as Raw GM! Just kidding. I'm also under the impression it was a Triple H pitch.
4. I definitely think we'll see some ex-ECW names on Sunday. Like Sheamus, Miz, Goldust.... Maybe some names from the old ECW, too. I don't anticipate a big ECW presence, but I don't see why they wouldn't throw a bone or two to the Philly crowd.
5. I think that gimmick will reappear in Vegas at some point.
More wrestling tomorrow.
