TNA and WWE live event notes, another ECW name at WWE HQ, Interviews with Owens/Balor+Bayley, WWE Network cards update, NXT press, Busick update, and Questions on WWE's next statue, WWE splitting into territories, nostalgia DVDs, and the WWWF

Chase Owens and Jason Kincaid lost to the team of DJ Z and Tyrus at a TNA live event this weekend. Whether those two names were just in for the night or if this was some kind of tryout remains to be seen. The attendance was estimated at about 400. TNA's still chugging along.

ECW's Joel Gertner was interviewed at WWE HQ. I'm glad they're reaching out to unaffiliated names for material instead of it just being people who already work for WWE in some form.

Kevin Owens talked about working with Cena and more. I also think he'll be remembered for taking the fight to Cena instead of whether he won or lost.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Natalya was the guest referee of a Divas tag match in Montreal. She's been more or less put to the side during the Revolution angle so she can be alongside Tyson after his big injury.

Finn Balor and Bayley talked before NXT hit Texas. I hope both hit the main roster in 2016.

Kevin Owens had another big interview. It was big for him to go home to Montreal.

WWE Network subscription cards should be at retail soon. AWESOME.

The Houston Chronicle looked at the NXT live event there.

Bill Apter gave an update on Bully Busick's health. I'm glad he's recovering.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. How about they do Austin at WM32, then Taker next time WM is in Texas? Especially if they aren't sure it's Taker's last match. I'm sure WWE would be glad to have more Taker matches if that's possible.

2. It could also be that they're still pretty early in some of their international expansions. They do have some executives "in charge" of different parts of the globe. I wouldn't be surprised to see further autonomy in WWE's international offices as we move forward.

3. ECW still sells. Will we be seeing content for TNA in 15 years if WWE buys their library? What about ROH?

4. I think he'll take a break from taking bumps to try acting. I don't expect him to be back in the ring anytime soon. But crazier things have happened, so maybe we do see him work ROH at some point.

5. That does sound amazing.

More wrestling tomorrow.
