Bull James is booked for this weekend's ROH events. I'm curious to see how this "reboot" of his career goes.
A Hillbilly Jim book has been released, with forewords by Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart. Interesting WWE isn't publishing that.
Emmalina was backstage at Raw. I really wonder where she fits into things when she returns, and why she's being rebooted in a different gimmick. Hopefully it turns out well for her, either way.
WWE Network gift cards are now available at Best Buy. It's great there are so many ways to get the service. The easier it is for fans to pay for it, the better.
Next week on Raw, Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins vs. Chris Jericho in a non-title match will headline the show. The show will also feature New Day vs. Sheamus and Cesaro in another non-title bout.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. He's probably better off trying to get some of the TNA roster over to GFW if the company collapses soon. Buying a company with that much debt and baggage isn't a great move at this point.
2. Because that's the "babyface comes from behind" underdog story WWE likes.
3. Slater was over before Rhyno was there. He's not there to be a "five-star worker" or a main eventer. He's there to be an entertaining mid-level performer like Santino was. He's taken his role and done well in it, so he's getting more TV time and honors.
4. It wasn't so much of a burial of Smackdown as really wanting to make Raw a big deal. It's possible they try to do it again, BUT with Smackdown also being live, maybe they'll treat it as being equal to Raw this time around.
5. The instinct is to tuck your head in during something like that, so a relatively inexperienced wrestler is in a difficult position when taking that move.
More wrestling tomorrow.
