Former Knockouts Champion to GLOW series, Henry on 20 years (!) in WWE, AJ on her memoir, Galloway to miss BFG?, Cody on coming to TNA and Questions on BOLA on DVD, Paul London in the CWC, WWE's new ringposts, why TJP wasn't on Raw, and Robocop in WCW

Kia Stevens, formerly Awesome Kong and Kharma, will be part of NETFLIX's GLOW series. That should be pretty interesting.

Mark Henry discussed the 20th anniversary of his first WWE match:
- That's a REALLY big milestone. He should go from the Hall of Pain to the Hall of Fame in 2017 or 2018 (unless they want to wait until Mania's in Texas again).

- He's got a lot of great things to pass on to the current generation.

- The business has really changed for the better as far as backstage demeanor. Veterans' behavior toward new talents was embarrassing.

- He's dead on about psychology, listening more, etc., although it's not like today's stars haven't heard that a lot. They just ignore it because they're getting "this is awesome" chants, four-plus star ratings, etc. That says more about fans and critics than the wrestlers, unfortunately.

- Henry should absolutely be a coach or producer when he retires.

- Also dead on about not just resting on your laurels because you made it to WWE, won the title, etc. Always try to make it even further.

AJ (Lee) Brooks discussed writing her book. It should be a really interesting read. I look forward to seeing what she reveals.

Drew Galloway will miss a few weeks of ring time, presumably taking him out of his Grand Championship match at Bound For Glory. I'm curious who ends up taking his place there. I'd like for it to be Cody, but I don't think that would make a lot of sense. So, how about they postpone the match and have Rex face Bram, James Storm, Al Snow, or Tyrus?

Cody tweeted about arriving in TNA. He'll likely team with Brandi against Mike and Maria Bennett.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1.They have to wait some time in order to release them on DVD due to rights issues with using talents contracted to other promotions.

2. WWE only brought in a few veteran talents for the CWC at any rate. I think Kendrick made more of his shot than London would have.

3. Someone hasn't been watching, because they still use that spot. I like the LEDs.

4. The debut episode was all about naming a top contender, so those names got the spotlight instead of him.

Nothing to add to 5.

6. Robocop belongs in the WWE Hall of Fame, with Vanguard-1 inducting him. Also, they need to put him in the next WWE 2K game.

More wrestling tomorrow.
