ROH on Dish update, wrestling word now officially English, Interviews with Sara Lee/Brooke, big Takeover special set, WWE press, more WCW content on Network, more dates official for Dudleys, TNA and ROH audience, announcer promotion, NXT names on the road, Dreamer-TNA update, and Questions on former WWE names keeping their Twitter names, ROH Network, Takeover viewers, and Hogan vs. Flair at WM8

An agreement has been reached for Sinclair stations to continue to be shown in homes with Dish Network. So, ROH will remain available for those homes via local stations.

"Kayfabe" has been added to the Oxford Dictionary, which is rather surprising actually. I wonder what wrestling word or phrase will be next? I'm hoping for jabroni, personally.

Tough Enough co-winner Sara Lee talked about her win. I suspect it could be a while before we see her officially have a match on NXT or WWE TV, but we'll see.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

NXT will have a Takeover special from London on Dec. 16. Should be great! A special has already been announced for October as well.


Mark Henry has been doing promotional work for WWE in India. I think he'll remain an ambassador once he hands up the boots.

WWE has added more Nitro episodes from 1997 to the Network. I wonder how much money they've made back from purchasing Dubya Cee Dubya.

The Dudley Boyz have officially announced for WWE's MSG live event to be shown on the Network Oct. 3. This is a big run for the former Team 3D.

Update: the duo has been added to a good number of live events beginning in mid-September.

This week's Impact Wrestling did 279,000 viewers in its first airing and 83,000 for its replay. I hope DA can get more revenue from whatever they're replacing TNA with, because it doesn't look like TNA's going to get back to where it was.

ROH this week on DA did 149,000 viewers, which isn't that bad compared to what TNA's doing these days.

Rich Brennan is now officially the lead announcer of Smackdown. Good for him.

Tyler Breeze and Baron Corbin are advertised for a WWE live event this weekend, so it looks like they'll be working that loop. I'm interested to see how Corbin does on a bigger stage than Full Sail.

Knockouts Champion Brooke talked about the division. I think we've seen pretty much everyone face each other. I'd like to see them switch out some stale names with some indie names.

Tommy Dreamer is booked for September's TNA live events. Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy are advertised for presumable non-wrestling roles. It's weird to be talking about them doing live events after they stopped for a year.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I would think they probably could, but it might not be worth the legal hassle and bad press of going after people they've already released. It's not as big of a deal as them trying to wrestle or sell merchandise as their WWE names.

2. I don't know if they would unless it's seen as a better model than what they're doing now.

Nothing to add to 3.

4. They'd be really pleased and probably continue loading the NXT spaceship with the rocket fuel.

5. It's an example of being hindsight being 20/20. It didn't necessarily make business sense for them at that juncture, so they did a double main event instead.

Nothing to add to 6 or 7.

More wrestling tomorrow.
