"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan was part of the most recent GFW live event, with a promo leading to him clotheslining Daivari out of the ring. I miss WWE Daivari. Sheik Abdul Bashir, not so much.
A Best of NXT DVD is confirmed to be in the pipeline. That's great! I can see that becoming a series.
Eric Bischoff tweeted about the 20th anniversary of Lex Luger appearing on Nitro to spark the Monday Night War. I know people always wonder what would happen if he had a lot of money and control of a wrestling company again. I think what happened in the '90s was a lot of being in the right place at the right time with the right resources, as in the Outliers theory. Not to discount what Bischoff did, though. He had some balls.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Stardust and The Ascension are now officially together as "Cosmic Wasteland." I'm not really sure why, but I'm willing to give the group a chance. They could definitely use a fresh start.
Smackdown dropped to 1.98 million people this week, which is not a strong number at all. The show usually does feel like it's not much of a priority. Maybe they should treat it like one?
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. When they induct the nWo, do they have to induct all 4,000 members? Same principle here. They went with the top version of the stable, as they should have.
2. That would be awful. Why turn him face when he's been on such an amazing run as a heel? The business needs strong villains.
3. Things are complicated that way, sometimes.
4. I'm glad they're scaling back HHH's role in favor of active competitors. I wish they'd do the same for Stephanie.
5. He could return as the fourth Wyatt member or he could feud with them because they replaced him with Braun. I think he'll be fine when he returns if this angle's still relevant.
More wrestling tomorrow.
