Rhyno and Curt Hakwins will finish out their advertised dates for House of Hardcore. Rhyno will finish up at HOH on October 15, while Hawkins will finish there on September 17. WWE generally lets signed names do the non-WWE shows they're already booked for. However, they will work as Rhino and Brian Myers for those shows, as WWE owns the copyrights to their Smackdown ring names.
Stephanie McMahon discussed plans for WWE to continue for another 50 years. We're already seeing her and Triple H take the reins more as they set a course for the future.
Sheamus talked about changing looks and more. I don't envy him having to get his beard braided so often.
Goldberg discussed potentially returning to the ring. I really hope he gets some Ryback chants if he does show up on WWE TV.
Finn Balor's injury is worse than was initially expected. However, he's still expected to make a full recovery. I hope he's a major player when he returns.
Vince McMahon marked his 71st birthday. He's just getting started. He already beat God in a tag match. Death doesn't stand a chance!
Shawn Michaels was at the most recent NXT taping. That kid's really got a future in this business.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I also find them really funny. I'm getting flashbacks to Kaientai. Indeed!
2. I've stayed away from spoilers, but I'd like to throw Gran Metalik and Akira Tozawa into the mix as possibilities. There were indications of them being offered contracts some time back. So, really, pretty much any of the remaining eight have a chance going into the final stretch.
3. WWE making the talent pay for surgeries, etc. would be an awful idea because talents might take risks to get back in the ring faster/take less expensive but more dangerous options of recovery.
4. You'll see Storm pop up again on TV before BFG, so more will be known then. It definitely felt like a heel turn.
5. What does it say about Curt Hawkins that they gave him a 10-year-old gimmick AND people get his name wrong in questions? I'm surprised they didn't give him the Jinder treatment and just do the bare minimum before shipping him back to Superstars.
More wrestling tomorrow.
