Superstars Reax - 9/18/15, TNA name leaves for ROH, ECW DVDs in the works, new Network series, Divas Revolution not in 2K16, Interview with Owens, interesting names on Table for 3, another WWE animated film, Smackdown audience, Impact dropped internationally, TNA-DA update, TNA tapings speculation, and Questions on the WWE-WWNLive deal, LU Season 2, WWE's next statue, Kurrgan, and Torito's future

Superstars:
So-so promo by Rose. At least it played off what Ryder does.

- Rose vs. Ryder:
Ryder's a pretty good wrestler for the undercard.

Rose isn't bad himself.

Not bad at all.

- Swagger vs. Dallas:
I BOLIEVE, Bo!!!

Good match overall. Yes, Bo beat a former World Champion. Swagger has definitely fallen since those days. I'd love to see him work with the likes of Gable and Jordan in NXT. Not as a demotion, but to give them pointers.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Kenny King made a surprise appearance at ROH's PPV last night, signalling an end to this time in TNA. If he can get more regular work there, I can't really blame him. Now all of BDC has left for one reason or another, and TNA's roster looks even more bare. Meanwhile, a team of former ROH Tag Team Champions has reunited.

WWE is working on DVDs for the 50 craziest moments in the history of ECW (including the ECW brand), as well as one on the Dudley Boyz. Tommy Dreamer and Taz were interviewed for related content. It's kind of funny Dreamer is working TNA live events and helping out there as a producer while also doing this kind of thing for WWE.

WWE will debut a new series after Raw, "Legends with JBL," which is kind of self-explanatory. The first episode will feature Eric Bischoff.

2K Sports confirmed that Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Bayley will not be part of WWE 2K16 or its DLC. I'm guessing it was a timing issue where they didn't know those performers would be such hits now. It is really unfortunate, though, given all they've done on NXT and the main roster.

Kevin Owens talked about wrestling for WWE in Montreal. I hope someday someone gets into wrestling because of him, like HBK inspired Owens.

This week's "Table for 3" features Ivory, Molly Holly, and Alundra Blayze. We haven't seen Ivory or Molly on something WWE-related for some time.

A WWE-Jetsons crossover has been confirmed. That will be a lot of fun.

Smackdown this week hit 2.08 million viewers. Football is murdering WWE right now.

Impact Wrestling will be removed from DMAX in Germany and Austria in October. That's a sister channel of DA.

It's believed TNA and DA worked out some sort of agreement to air Impact Wrestling through February 2016, although details are a bit hazy.

There's speculation of TNA turning their Halloween tour shows into TV tapings. That would be a good move, since BFG is coming up and they need some new material. No TV tapings have been announced, although some material has been taped that has yet to air.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Dotting i's and crossing t's can take time, especially with something on this scale. I really hope they work something out, because it could be big for both parties.

2. It's worth noting the show was something of a cult hit. I'm under the impression El Rey is unsure of how much it's worth investing into a Season 2, hence looking for other places to air it.

3. Austin or Undertaker in Texas would be perfect.

4. I'm glad he's found a successful post-wrestling career.

5. I suddenly really want to see him recast as a mini Dragon. Vince needs to make this happen. I don't see them doing a full-on Minis division, but they might bring in at least one more for him to work with at some point.

More wrestling tomorrow.
