Superstars:
- Truth vs. Slater:
I miss the Heath Slater from the U.S. Title challenge and the legends angle. He's so funny.
Not a bad match to fill some time.
Adam Rose is ridiculously stale. I think he's a fine performer, but he's going absolutely nowhere.
- Rose vs. Swagger:
Good stuff so far. Swagger's a skilled performer.
Nice stuff with Swagger going for his kill move with Rose avoiding it.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
The Wolves vs. Trevor Lee and Brian Myers has been added to Bound For Glory. I mean, it's not like the Wolves really had many other potential opponents for the show. I'm fine with the rematch. I'd like to see them feud with the team of Abyss and Manik next. The latter can try to make an identity for themselves post-Revolution.
WWE has released some new tickets for Takeover: London. The UK tour will be an important test for the future of the brand.
WWE Network will air the NXT panel from before Summerslam after Monday's Raw.
Hernandez has officially been released from his LU contract. Theoretically he can now work for TNA again, although the other members of the BDC have all left. Maybe they bring him in as a singles guy?
Nick Jackson of the Young Bucks will not make this weekend's ROH events due to his wife going into labor. That's definitely something you want to be there for.
Update: Matt Jackson hinted they'll be a more regular part of the ROH tag team division. Oh, boy!
Smackdown drew 2.18 million viewers this week. The NFL is giving WWE a beating.
Stone Cold definitively confirmed he won't be wrestling Brock Lesnar at WM32. That's probably for the best given how banged up Taker and Sting are from their big matches.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. That's really awesome of them to do. Nothing to really add.
Nothing to add to 2. I like the name Dark Journey, though.
3. If he won his 16th title, the shirts of him being a 15-time champion would suddenly become more valuable, because they'd never be making shirts advertising him as a 15-time champion again.
4. It doesn't look like he wrestles much anymore. I agree he could have really been a big deal for TNA, and probably could still be an important player if he stepped into the ring. It's possible he ends up wrestling at least one match for the company, but there's nothing to hint at it.
5. Given that Tough Enough got something of a tepid response, they might be holding off on the Diva Search for now. I expect it will still end up happening, but it's not really in motion right now.
More wrestling tomorrow.
