HHH on wrestling Ambrose and Reigns, another UK name qualifies for GCS, more on Enzo's injury, and Questions on watching unhealthy amounts of wrestling, shortening wrestler names, less being more, turning Rollins and Reigns, and why the night after WM32 changed so much

Triple H discussed his Wrestlemania 32 match and more:
- I think the main event was pretty good, but the show was definitely a REALLY long show.

- I definitely think HHH is onto something about the Internet more or less manufacturing dissent by bringing so many people together (to argue). There's always a group that wants to be the contrarians to what they're "supposed to like."

Noam Dar has officially qualified for the WWE Global Cruiserweight Series. I wonder if any other promotions (beyond EVOLVE) will hold further qualifying matches.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Enzo Amore was given oxygen while being stretchered out of Payback. They made the right call shutting down that match. It was a scary situation.

- He was later walking around in the hospital, so he's hopefully going to be OK before too much longer.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I just watch WWE (including NXT), TNA, and ROH as far as in-ring stuff goes. That's more than enough wrestling in a week!

2. It's easier to just focus on one name for commentary:"Kofi's going to the top rope!" "Big E with the spear!" That kind of thing. It's not like you don't know who they're talking about with just referring to them by one name. Dash and Dawson are supposed to look similar (outside of their facial hair); they're a tag team. Matt and Nick Jackson could easily be the same guy if one changed their hair color. Blake's distinguishable from Murphy due to their hair color/style.

3. In front of bigger crowds and on TV, slower can be better so everyone can have time to react. Less is almost always more for high-flying stuff.

4. I definitely think Rollins should come back as a face, and Roman works better as less of a cartoony smiling babyface with lines like sufferin succotash.

5. The night after Wrestlemania has been the start of "a new season" for years now. It has big debuts/returns and title changes to show a new, exciting chapter is beginning.

More wrestling tomorrow.
