Summerslam weekend guests update, Summerslam charity, Interview with Y2J, TNA and ROH audience, and Questions on Brock vs. Taker at UFC, Y2J winning, Young Bucks having heat, Adam Cole, and NXT vs. ROH

Stone Cold is not expected to be at Summerslam itself, just weekend events promoting WWE 2K16. So, anyone expecting him to stomp a mudhole in Brock Lesnar's ass and walk it dry are going to be disappointed.

Ric Flair will be at Summerslam to see Charlotte wrestle. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall will be part of Summerslam weekend, but their current role is unknown. They would be mind-numbingly stupid to do an nWo reboot in 2015.

Stephen Amell had a special shirt made for his Summerslam match to be sold for charity. That's pretty cool.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Chris Jericho talked about his current WWE schedule and more. I prefer him working with the younger names in limited roles. He's done pretty much everything he can do as a full member of the roster.

Impact Wrestling's audience this week was 323,000 for the original airing and 73,000 for the replay. So, the Turning Point special might have helped them see an increase.

ROH's audience on DA this week was 145,000, slightly down from the previous week. They're almost halfway through the 26 weeks DA ordered, for whatever that's worth.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Showing The Undertaker out of character at a UFC event wasn't high on their list of priorities, and I can't say I blame them. It's quite rare we see him out of character, period.

2. Jericho usually does do the job to the up-and-coming name. He does need to win here and there to still have credibility, though.

3. It's more complicated than that. There were actually a number of parties in TNA who weren't fans of "Generation Me," including the bookers and some of the veteran wrestlers because they were perceived as arrogant and refusing to take advice. This hurt them in ROH under Cornette as well. RVD did an interview saying he felt disrespected by them in TNA, and both Booker T. and Goldust commented on their perceived disrespect at a WWE tryout. They left TNA of their own accord, though, because they were having to be flown from California to the East Coast when they could get more regular work on the West Coast.

4. He's another generic flippy indie guy. WWE might try to mold him into something more at some point given how hard he works, though.

5. I think it will be successful by ROH standards.

More wrestling tomorrow.
