WWE is seeking to fill a position in charge of digital content distribution in China. I hope they do well there, as do their stockholders.
John Cena has been pulled from this weekend's live events. His broken nose needed extensive medical work. I hope he doesn't miss too much time. He's been having great matches lately.
Update: Cena has also been pulled from Raw. That should really give Rollins some bragging rights.
Cesaro talked to WWE.com about grabbing the brass ring. His work ethic is INSANE.
Everything else from yesterday unrelated to the Q1 2015 filing is after the break.
Impact Wrestling this week did 343,000 viewers in its first showing, and 64,000 for the replay. That combined audience is better than the previous two weeks, for whatever that's worth.
ROH drew 171,000 in its solo 11 p.m. airing. It will probably take some time for the people who used to watch at 8 to migrate there. It's possible DA changes their timeslot situation again, but the next two weeks are set to follow the same pattern of this week with just one showing. ROH is contracted on the channel through some point in December.
The Rock reacted to Hulk Hogan's comments. It's a real shame Hogan's career is going down the toilet right now.
GFW announced some of the talent who will work their next TV taping in August. I'm under the impression there will be 12 one-hour episodes leading to a two-hour episode, taped across three months. Still waiting for this to actually be picked up by someone.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Referees are a big part of making the matches work and relaying instructions from the back, so there's some camaraderie in the fact they all go out in the ring and make the magic happen.
2. Bray and Harper are a thing for now. I'd imagine Rowan will return to the fold since he was teaming with Harper, but that could change by the time Big Red recovers. I don't know what they'll do at Summerslam if Sting isn't involved. 2/3 of the Wyatts vs. 2/3 of The Shield isn't as interesting without him involved. They'll need some kind of stipulation to make it mean something.
3. WWE did pull the Hulk Hogan cartoon from the Network. Thankfully they at least kept his matches on there.
4. That's pretty much it, I guess. It would probably be safer for everyone if more wore mouthpieces, but there's only so much you can do in that regard.
5. Because the Montreal Screwjob is one of the most talked about events in wrestling history, and they wanted to capitalize on that. They were able to work around his medical history.
More wrestling coming up.
