Dolph Ziggler and Paige will be at Wizard Con. WWE needs to make its own convention. AXXESS is only once or twice a year after all.
The artwork for the upcoming Jerry Lawler DVD has been released. He deserves a big career retrospective DVD. He's truly a living legend. I wouldn't mind him going from commentary to being a GM figure once The Authority angle is over. If they hadn't just moved him to Smackdown, that'd be the direction I'd go. Just have him use his overness (is that a word?) to put together some matches and that can be that.
Forbes put over WWE due to the Network's success. We're definitely heading into an OTT world.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Kane is dancing to raise money for a local charity. I would literally pay to see Kane dance in full costume and character as the "demon" version of Kane.
Chris Jericho talked about his future as a wrestler and more. I wonder how many more part-time runs he'll do. It's basically as long as he still enjoys doing it and WWE has something he wants to do. I'd like to see him work someone like Sami Zayn down the line.
Sami Zayn beat Bo Dallas in the final stop of WWE's Middle Eastern tour. I can't wait to see both of those names back on the main roster.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I can't really blame anyone for saying Zayn. He's got that Ricky Steamboat aura about him.
2. There's really no telling with Chyna at this point. At some point "Chyna may or may not have done something crazy" isn't really a news story anymore.
3. I think the idea was to draw attention away from how small their audiences and venues are. I'm mostly good with it.
4. I'd say the ratio of people who are currently being "buried" by Management to people some online think are currently being "buried" by Management is really low. It almost always seems like WWE has to choose between pushing one name or another, and the one who loses is going to lose momentum. They just don't have plans for Barrett being a big deal right now.
5. Vince thinks Reigns is a better choice to be the top guy than Bryan is. That's really all it comes down to. He sees the Reigns detractors/Bryan fans as the vocal minority. Even if everyone in Philly would rather see Bryan than Reigns, there could still be many, many people at home who'd rather see Reigns (and would spend money on PPVs where he's featured, etc.).
More wrestling tomorrow.
