GFW promoted, Slammiversary update, WWE loses ally, Hogan-WM32 update, another Network special, Interview with Hall, and Questions on saying WWF, Kurrgan, BNB, the other Undertaker, and Jarrett's TNA holdings

Here's a report of the Jarretts promoting a GFW show. Jeff has always been described as a class act. The situation with his WWF departure was a business dispute.

TNA Slammiversary will be available online. As it should be in 2015. I'm curious how much interest that show will generate.

ESPN's Michelle Beadle says she's done watching WWE due to Triple H's support of Floyd Mayweather. I can see where she's coming from as far as condemning what Mayweather has done outside the ring.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Hulk Hogan claimed he's competing at WrestleMania 32 at a recent press conference. I'd take that with a big grain of salt, much like The Great Khali saying he's returning to WWE. The time for Hogan to have one last match has probably passed, unless WWE is REALLY desperate to crack that 100,000 number for Dallas.

Los Matadores and El Torito will be hosting a Cinco de Mayo special on lucha libre in the U.S. for the WWE Network. I'm a tad bit surprised WWE is using them for that instead of the Lucha Dragons, but it could be a matter of either promo skills or the use of Torito for comedy.

Here are highlights from a recent Scott Hall interview:
- I think a lot of people would like to see Hall work behind-the-scenes in TNA.

- I like when wrestlers stay down for the count when their opponent goes over. The booker put that other person over for a reason. Don't be selfish.

- It definitely doesn't hurt to get advice from those who have been there before you.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Yeah, I doubt the other WWF cares since it was just a fleeting reference and not used to promote the company under that name.

2. He's done pretty well for himself, too. And without a single WWE Films credit to his name!

3. I guess either he or the person producing his matches likes that formula enough to keep doing it.

4. Not much to add here. If Doc Gallows is ever in dire need of bookings, maybe we can see a match featuring the impostor Brothers of Destruction?

5. I loved the shot at whether TNA's actually turning a profit. Jarrett's like one of WWE's stockholders who isn't a McMahon or other top exec. He doesn't have a say over anything, but he gets part of the financials.

More wrestling tomorrow.
