The Miz talked about his rise from reality TV. I would have never seen him headlining Mania after his first couple of years. No one expected him to last long.
Seth Rollins vs. John Cena in MSG will be inside a steel cage. I'm still more excited for Brock destroying Big Show.
WWE has booked Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold, Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar for the Oct. 19 Raw in Dallas (since that's where WM32 will be). I wonder what Taker and Lesnar will be doing at the big event in April.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Cameron talked about training outside WWE and more. I did wonder where Cameron was when Naomi turned heel. It would have made sense to pair them again. I'm not hugely upset, though. It's Emma I think they're really missing out on using.
"Total Divas" this week dropped to 795,000 viewers. So, for those who hate that show's effect on things, it's possible E! isn't impressed with that number. We'll see. WWE's definitely committed to it; it makes them money.
Sting talked about his injury at Night of Champions. That's really scary. If we do get Sting vs. Taker, they'll need to make use of smoke and mirrors.
Apollo Crews vs. Tyler Breeze is official for NXT Takeover: Respect. That should be quite good.
Okada talked about working in ROH vs. TNA and more. I wouldn't rule out seeing him in WWE years from now if/when he's done pretty much everything he can do in Japan, like Balor and Asuka before him. As for TNA, he barely did anything beyond get stuck in a silly Green Hornet gimmick. I can't blame him for preferring ROH.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. This makes me wonder about the talented people who will be left by the wayside if/when TNA goes under...
2. That's pretty much it. She's just not one of the Divas they're having win right now. It happens. I definitely think she'll be champion again at some point.
3. Sting made a statement against the champ. He earned the match from that standpoint, not to mention the numerous other World Titles he's won elsewhere. People who look at win-loss records to say who's "earned" something in a worked sport are totally missing the point.
4. Triple H realizes those other companies help produce future stars, and is working with other companies instead of against them. If he wanted to kill the indies, he'd just sign every young buck out there to a big money deal so other companies would die. I don't see that happening.
5. To work the marks into buying the Network instead of watching it on PPV.
More wrestling tomorrow.
